The Nest is a very clean and secure apartment. It is the upper level of three of the Con Con Bay apartments. The Nest has access to the small pool located at this address. There is also a common garden area.
The kitchen is well equipped. There is a gas stove and oven, a microwave, good sized refrigerator, coffee maker and small toaster oven. There are utensils, plates, glasses and mugs in the cabinets.
The Nest has very high quality Wi Fi. the speed is 160 mbps. Many guests working online while staying here have found it more then adequate. In my experience staying in Hostels ands Hotels and other rentals in Chile most places have very basic Wi fi service. Wi Fi here is fast and secure.
The cable service has a large variety of channels including many of the movie and cultural channels. The service also has the option to change between English and Spanish. This is a higher level Cable Service isn't usually found in most Hotels, Hostels, vacation rentals here in Chile.
Towels and linens are provided.
The Nest has heaters for heat on cold days. The summer here on the coast of Chile can get quite warm but the ocean breezes and way the Nook is situated make air-conditioning unnecessary.
Apartment is very well insulated, with a northern exposure taking advantage of passive solar energy that keeps it cool in summer and warmer in winter.
There is one fenced parking spot located next to the building.
The Nest is a excellent apartment for using as a base and traveling the area or for hanging out. Enjoy the deck, watch the Ocean and beach and enjoy the day with a glass of fine Chilean wine or beer and maybe an Asado (BBQ).
