I needed to go to Santiago for several days of research--to look at historical sites and interview people about them. The Soho one-bedroom apart-hotel was perfect. I had a little cozy living room/kitchen area, with enough seating for 6 people. Everything is modest and not brand-new, but the place was clean, and charming. And the neighborhood was terrific--very safe for wandering, easy to get around, and lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Normally, I think you go to another building to get keys and sign in. But since I arranged an early check-in, my keys were waiting at the reception desk on the first floor, and I was able to do check-in by filling out paperwork, taking a phone photo, and emailing the form to them. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Santiago.
