Bellavista is the best base, because La Chascona sits on its streets and you can walk to the door in minutes. The neighborhood is full of murals, bars and restaurants, and its hostels draw a steady flow of solo travelers, so meeting people over dinner is easy. It is lively and loud on weekend nights, so ask for a room away from the street if you sleep lightly. Streets are busy until late, which helps with safety, though you should still keep phones tucked away on quieter side lanes after dark.Lastarria is the next choice, about 20 to 25 minutes on foot across the Mapocho River. It is calmer and a little pricier, with cafes, small museums and a polished feel, and a few hostels and guesthouses suit travelers who want sleep over nightlife.Barrio Brasil and Yungay, further west, give you cheaper beds and a more local feel, with a younger crowd and good street food. Metro lines make every one of these areas quick to reach, so you can sleep where your budget and noise tolerance fit and still reach the house easily.
