Well, for four years I had been trying to take my 86 year old Argentinian-born mom back home; finally she said yes! I booked everything as quickly as possible before she changed her mind... In my search for placed to stay I needed something that was nice, comfortable and in a great location. In total there were four of us: my wife, son, mom and me. A co-worker told me about VRBO and he was very satisfied with the vacations that he had taken using it, so I thought give it a try.
Well I must say I was a little nervous at first because there are so many people ready to steal your money and this was the first time I used this site. As we approached the building my anxiety immediately lessened. Carmen the manager was there to greet us at the door. She assisted us with our luggage upon arrival and departure. She was wonderful, helping us with anything we needed. All you had to do was call her and she was there.
Now comes the best part of all: "a gem in the sky." A beautiful penthouse that took our breath away! When we walked in my wife looked at me with such a smile of satisfaction. Mom had a look that I wish I had a picture of. My son turned to me with an expression of "wow" and said "Mom, you did good." I just smiled and internally was thanking VRBO and Robert! The decor was incredible, and immediately made us feel at home. The kitchen is one that I wish I had. The bedrooms each had their own full bathroom, which provided conveniency and privacy for all. A housekeeper came in the middle of the week to freshen the place up. In addition, the location of this apartment is prime, located in a beautiful neighborhood. There is a supermarket, two coffee shops, and pharmacy across the street. Places to eat were not far also. This is such a beautiful apartment. When I return to Argentina again, and I will, I am staying in "a gem in the sky". My wife and I travel a lot and this apartment is one of the best places we have ever stayed!
