Since Santiago’s not exactly a hub for college-age tourists,
rooming there (at least the kind we’re staying in) is very cheap. So, Sean and
I sprang for a bed and breakfast instead. It was only about 5 euro extra per
night, but it meant we got a private room to ourselves, with our own bathroom.
We had a floor-to-ceiling window which we could open and look out on the street
below. The walls were also cool; they were made of stone and mortar, and for
whatever reason, people had stacked euro pennies in nooks and crannies in the
mortar. Couldn’t figure out why they did it, but made me smile nonetheless =)
Oh, and it also had a restaurant/café downstairs (the
‘breakfast’ in ‘bed and breakfast’), which was quite tasty, and saved our butts
on Sunday. The waiters didn’t speak a word of English aside from the numbers on
the menu, but we still managed to get by.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a quiet, small place in
Santiago, Casa Felisa definitely gets a thumbs-up. It’s easy walking to the bus
and train stations, and is just down the street from the cathedral square.
