I will be leaving to santiago with in the next two weeks and am hoping to find something or at least have some good ideas before hand. I'm looking for a furnished one bedroom for 450$us give or take i have seen 2 bedrooms going for 600 furnished so i don't think my price range is too off. my only requirements are a nice(safe) area and a clean apartment with hot water. thanks for your help i really like this site you guys are a great community and hopefully i will be joining many of you soon in santiago.
