Great holiday home!

This was first time to look accommodation through homeaway, so I wasn't very sure about it, but communicating with Lourdes made me feel secure to book the holiday home and together we also found the suitable way to make the payment - paypal/bank transfer.
To find the place was a little bit complicated, because I didn't follow the directions I got from Lourdes (I should have done that), but just inserted the address to the GPS and found myself in the wrong side of the town. Then I contacted Lourdes and followed the right directions until I reached "Golden Villas", finding the right apartment was after that quite easy.
In the kitchen we found freshly-baked pastries baked by Lourdes' sister.... very delicious! Thanks again! It made us feel really welcome.
The place was just perfect - master bedroom with king size bed and private bathroom (also accessible from living room) and second bedroom with queen size bed (and these wonderful mirror doors on wardrobe), bathroom just next to it and on the other side third bedroom with one bed. It was excellent for us because we had exactly 5 people. The living room-kitchen was spacious and we enjoyed cooking breakfasts and eating all together near the table. For me it was especially import that there was wireless network and I could check my work things from time to time. We had all the facilities we needed - iron, fridge, cooker, microwave oven, washing machine, dryer etc. Just like home.
In the evening we sometimes grilled on the second floor - really nice place to chill out with a glass of Lambrusco.
There was also a parking space for the car. We also saw the gym (seemed to be open, but we never used it) and the pool (tried to go there once, but was locked, anyway we preferred the ocean).
About the places nearby: well, in Puerto Rico nobody goes anywhere without a car - that is something we learned quite quickly. There is a gas station Texaco just few hundred meters from condo, 1 km forward is small food shop and 3,4 km is really good supermarket (towards Vega Baja). If you look something really big, there his a huge hypermarket in Vega Baja (8-9 km). One of the best beaches is in Cerro Gordo, just 3-4 km from condo. About 15 km is the Vega Baja beach - only place to see the sunset on north coast.
Now I'm running out of characters, so for conclusion: it was a perfect holiday home! I would come back any time and recommend it to my friends also!
