Excellent service for a very good price. I didn't do the 1 hour consultation I just paid the fee…read moreand we agreed he would simply answer the few questions I had. (I didn't want to take up an hour of his time to answer the 3 or 4 questions I had). He gave me an estimate to get me and my wife a Rentista Visa and it was very reasonable. He answered all of my questions and even went so far as to give me a list of things I needed to do in order to achieve our goal. I didn't use his other services since we are retired and have no kids and I have a friend in Santiago that found us a flat to rent. I will hire him to help with taxes and finding my wife a job when the time comes. (My wife gets bored and is a work-a-holic so she insists on finding a job even though we are very comfortable) I am also considering building a house and if she agrees we will definitely have Jeremie help with that.

We chose Bellavista Apartments because of the glowing reviews on tripadvisor. From the website, it…read morelooks more boutique-y than it really is, so we were a bit surprised to find that it was more of an airbnb type situation than a hotel. These apartments are located within a large apartment complex that houses all sort of people (students, families, etc) of which the owners of this business own a handful of apartments spread out throughout the building that they rent out. In fact, I just checked airbnb and found that these apartments are in fact, listed there. I think if I had booked through airbnb I would have been less surprised by the situation. PROS: - Really low price (~$75USD per night) that included free Wifi - Parking is available for ~$10 a night in a safe, underground lot (think of the underground parking for a large apartment complex; that's exactly what it is) - Priscila was extremely nice and was very helpful both before our stay and during our check-in (she came out to help us find the parking spot because it was a bit confusing... I had to get the clicker from her, then figure out where the gate and the spot was and take the elevator back to the office). Others on tripadvisor have raved about her as well. - Close to bars, clubs, restaurants, Patio Bellavista, etc and walking distance to Lastarria (where I would have preferred to stay had I known what I know now) - Has a full kitchen if you are into that. CONS: - The office is located in an apartment within the building, so depending where your apartment is located, it could be far. - The office is only open from 9 am to 8 pm. Unlike a hotel, there is not 24 hour service so if you lose your keys, get locked out, etc, you are out of luck. We wanted to take a day tour on our check out day, but were unable to do so because we would have needed to check out and store our luggage starting at 8:30 am, which was not possible. We asked if we could store our luggage starting the night before and were told no. - The girls other than Priscila are not as helpful or knowledgeable. I believe she does not work on weekends. - You don't get keys for the front gate, and the guards do not speak English. - LOUD. REALLY REALLY LOUD. If you are in town to club, this is the place to stay, because you are right next to all of the clubs. But if you want to go to sleep before 6 am, forget about it. You can hear EVERYTHING from inside your apartment. Dogs barking, music blaring, people talking. Even when clubbing is over, there are people on the street talking at all hours, and it sounds like they are inside the apartment. If the second night had not been non-refundable, I would have moved hotels. I just can't sleep through that kind of noise. -The couch is really low and really uncomfortable. Looks better than it feels. All in all, this is an inexpensive option and close to a lot of things, but you get what you pay for.
