Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins) that says Plaza Italia.We are only a couple of blocks away from Plaza Italia/Baquedano metro station. This is the cheapest way to get to our hostel.Street references are merced/estados unidos (we are 1 block away from that intersection)You can also pick up a taxi at the airport, the fee shouldn't be more than US$25, or you can also pick up a transfer for US$13 (clp $8.000) (at least 2 people, if you come alone is US$ 26). If you want us to book you a pick up transfer at the airport write us email after you have done the reservation. This way will be more efficient and cheap. The taxi/transfer driver should leave you at our door. Do not worry, Santiago is a safe city.
