Hubby was flying back home late on the day of our
anniversary. So instead of going through
the long drive home after picking him up from the airport, my daughter and I
decided to surprise him with an overnight stay in Makati at a serviced apartment.
I’d had occasion to visit the Somerset Salcedo apartments,
since it is accredited by the company where I used to work. I liked the rooms, but I wanted a place
nearer the commercial business district.
I tried reserving a unit at the Ascott Makati, but they were fully
booked. Then, I remembered how one of
the managers had switched to the Somerset Olympia apartments for the same
reason, and though she warned me that the rooms were a bit old, and smaller
than their Salcedo counterpart, she found the accommodations OK, since it was
just walking distance from the Glorietta malls, as well as the eating places at
the Ayala Triangle Gardens.
