Punto Rockstar - Coliving

The shower was comfortable. The kitchen was good and complete.

The hostel is shared with the owners. In the beginning we didn’t feel to welcome in the shared rooms. The owners were constantly in the kitchen which forced the conversation. And it seemed like they don’t wanted you there.. They were welcome eventually, but it took some effort from our side. If I were on my own this would be a bigger problem i think. Apart from that they were good people.

Muy acogedor el lugar y muy amigables los encargados, el barrio es tranquilo alejado del ruido del centro pero caminable.

Nada, estuvo todo muy bien

Lo que más me gustó, fueron las instalaciones, el trato y la ubicación.

Mucho ruido entre las 06.00 y 07.00 am.

The owners appear to be a husband and wife duo. The wife and her family that was visiting were lovely people-- friendly, helpful, outgoing. They almost managed to balance the awfulness of the husband.

The shower takes over 5 minutes to warm up in the morning. Hot water lasts under 15 minutes, so if you have 2 people needing a shower one after the other, you'll need to keep it short. No locks on the doors. I asked why, they said tourists were not returning the keys. They also said someone is always home. I guess they've never heard of copying keys, or charging a deposit for keys. The husband was the polar opposite of his wife and her family. I've never felt so uncomfortable dealing with anyone in tourism as I did with this man. He was irritable, impolite, unprofessional, and unwelcoming. I've lived in 3 separate intentional communities and many co-living spaces, and this is the kind of person that destroys the vibe. For example, we arrived during our arrival window, and the owners were finishing up lunch. We stood outside the door ringing the bell for several minutes. The husband was irritated from the moment we arrived, and took a surprisingly long time to check us in. He became upset during the process, and after 15-25 minutes without any sign of progress, I asked if we could just go to our room. He said no; I think he had been trying to recalculate the price for the room, because he complained to us that the price we received on booking was much, much lower than they normally charge, by 10-20k CLP or so. It was such a strange experience. It also did not appear that they had any other guests at the time. It also didn't feel like a co-living arrangement besides the fact they said we could use the kitchen. Given that the husband and wife and family were eating at the kitchen counter, and how alienating the husband made us feel, we wanted to stay away from the only indoor common area.
