Your first weeks in Santiago
I recommend renting a short-term furnished apartment when you first arrive. It gives you time to search for your permanent home without rushing — a 2-3 week stay is a reasonable timeline to find and sign a lease. If you need to go faster, I have helped expatriates close a rental in 4-5 days, but you can't be too picky.
A furnished apartment beats a hotel for an extended stay: you have space to work remotely with reliable internet, a kitchen to eat on your schedule (and save money), and multiple rooms if you're moving with your family. Housekeeping is usually included.
What's available
We work with rental companies (not individuals) in safe, expat-friendly neighborhoods: Las Condes, Vitacura, Providencia, and central Santiago. Options range from a simple furnished apartment to fully serviced properties with concierge, housekeeping, and breakfast.
All accommodations include utilities, high-speed WiFi, housekeeping, bed linens, and local taxes. Stays are flexible — from 2 weeks to 6 months, with options to extend on short notice.
Most expats stay 1-3 months while searching for permanent housing. We can usually book within 48-72 hours.
