News at Eleven: La Sebastiana is five stories and filled

with as many surprises as La Chascona. Among the oddities: a French carousel horse, bars on nearly every level and a door that leads to a nonexistent helipad. The home is splashed with rich colors: The outside is painted deep blue, and the sitting room is a gaudy pink, decorated with two large golden angels above the doorway.

On the top floor is [Pablo] Neruda's tiny writing room, which I envied for its view of the ocean, rich wooden furniture and a life-sized photo of Walt Whitman, a writer he admired.
