We live in the center of the commune of Providencia in Santiago de Chile. Very close to metro station, banks, malls, etc. It is an apartment located on the second floor. The room is small, with a private bathroom on the first floor and completely independent from the rest. The remaining bedrooms are on the second floor.
We are two people. I am Sandra, a journalist but I no longer work, Guillermo, retired.
The most important thing, we have a small poodle dog that is part of our family, he is very old and calm, he no longer barks, he sleeps all day.
Payment for the stay is made immediately upon deciding to stay in our apartment. It can be done in Chilean money or dollars.
The use of the kitchen is only for preparing light meals. Storing food in the refrigerator is allowed.

Limited access to kitchen and small space made a long term stay more difficult.
Host reply
Al llegar le permiti pagar la mitad de la estadia y al tener que pagar el saldo costó muchisimo que lo hiciera.
A pesar de ser una buena chica no es una buena huesped pues se toma atribuciones no contempladas en el contratoNovember 2014
Sandra and Guillermo are gracious hosts. They are one of the few Homestay hosts that actually responded to me. The bedroom was completely adequate and the bath was mine as advertised. I slept well in the bed. Sandra was willing to do a half board arrangement which really helped me out. Their granddaughter speaks good English if you need help. They live in a very nice secure and convenient neighborhood and gave me all the necessary keys. The dog was never a problem. He is a small poodle and a big part of their family. Highly recommended. Understand that they are pretty diligent about trying to keep the room filled.
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
