“Great location and everything I needed for a good price. They were super easy to work with as well.”
Room was comfortable and bathroom met my needs. I didn't really use the kitchen or common space but those appeared great and well stoked with basics. I'd stay here again.

“Cozy home”
We spent Christmas Eve here, the place was exactly as we expected - nice and cozy. It felt like home. 🩵 Catalina is a great person and will help you if she can. She also puts a lot of effort into recycling, which we appreciate a lot! Thank you for a lovely stay.

The place is very cute, the furniture has a lot of interesting pieces and there is a lovely ginger cat whom seems to be the owner of the place.

“Feeling at home far from home”
For our first time in Coyhaique it was the best place we could ever stay in. Catalina was so welcoming and helpful for us. The feeling of mutual exchange in the common living room was another precious point. Everything was so cozy and warm. Definitely recommended!

“Excellent place to rest”
Great atmosphere, excellent quiet location close to the main square (pentagon). Catalina was a lovely and welcoming host. Demosthenes, the cat, was super friendly and added to the relaxing atmosphere.

The comunal spaces and well equipped kitchen. The location was good and the bed was comfortable.
