I found a place in Valpa, it's an entire apartment with what they claim are good views of the ocean and fireworks, and is available just now due to a cancellation. The catch is that we have to stay for 7 nights haha which I guess gives us more time to check out the place but also means the price is quite hefty. On the plus side an apartment gives us a bit more freedom than a room at a B&B or hostel.

We've been quoted 600.000. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being 'sigh new year's eve's rates' and 10 being 'don't ever contact them again', where does this fit in?

It has some really nice reviews online, and 'seems' like it's in a decent location although I'll be the first to admit I wouldn't exactly know what is or isn't a decent location.

Here's another you could try. We stayed there earlier this year. It's a bit out of the way, not too close to other hotels, so maybe there is a better chance of them having something.

dw88, why don't you post the location so we can see where it is.

gringalais, that looks like a nice B&B.

here is the place:

image is smaller than I thought it'd be, but gives an idea.

The hostal victoria also has vacancy from 30dec-2jan for a much cheaper price, but think we kind of the like idea of staying a bit longer and exploring
is this a decent location?
