Guillermo and the rest of his lovely family were great hosts and were happy to let us in late after an evening of live music in Santiago. Their house is just outside of the centre of town, and has a lovely patio/balcony overlooking the neighbourhood. Great breakfast is available.

Staying with Guillermo and his familie was wonderfull. He speaks good English and is more than helpfull. Also grandma - who did not speak English at all - is a fantastic and lovely persoon who cooks like a professional chef. The room is nice and clean and the house has an amazing terrace. Guillermo arranged a tour around the city which was perfectly planned. We highly recommend staying with them. Thanks!
