We recently stayed at the 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment with a terrace at the Lastarria apartment hotel. The staff is lovely and very quick with their response when we had a question. The apartment was clean and perfect for our needs. There is a laundry service available if you need it.
The location cannot be better. It is so lively with lots of restaurants, bars, cafés and live music and street performers in the evening. You are a 3-minute walk from the metro station Universidad Católica, and walking distance from Cerro Santa Lucia, Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral, Plaza de Armas, Bellas Artes neighbourhood, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Parque Forestal, La Chascona, etc.
There are all kinds of food options – Chilean, Peruvian, Asian, fast food – you will eat well here! Do not forget to try the ice cream options and popsicles at Emporio La Rosa, there are some really unique local flavours on their list. . The hotel apartment also offers 20% off on 4 of the local bars/cafés, check their names at the reception. Do note, however, that there are no elevators in the building, but this was not an issue for us.
Bar Almeda on the corner of Almeda and Portugal has great completos and beer selection. Further south on Portugal is a grocery store called Mak Express, where you can get bottled water in large size and other essentials. You are walking distance from Lider Express, which is their version of Walmart.
You are also walking distance from Centro Artesenal Santa Lucia which is a large collection of artisanal shops.
We would highly recommend this place.
