Rachelle,

I tried E-mailing you but I got a message saying that you only get E-mail once a week. Rent in Santiago really varies depending on location. If you are interrested in an apartment, you should be able to get a nice one for about $400- $500 U.S. per month. A house would probably be a little more than that, but it all depends on where it is located and the size. Rent in Santiago is much cheaper than in Santo Domingo.
