I'm pretty sure we have the best landlord in Bogota.
We don't have much contact with him as usually everything goes through the embassy to him. But when we had water damage from the excessive rains, we established a great working relationship and for those particular repairs, it's been easier for us to arrange repairs directly than through the embassy middleman.
Our landlord raised 5 kids in our apartment so it feels a little indulgent to me - especially in front of him - to have all these bedrooms for just us and Mac. Because he has such a sentimental attachment to the apartment, he's very concerned about keeping the apartment in the best shape as possible. He's super-attentive to any problems we have that fall under his responsibility.
Early this morning, as scheduled, he came with a contractor who would later in the morning return to scrape the water damage off the ceiling and wall, re-plaster the damaged area, and paint. Just like that, the ugly water stains and water bubbles are gone.
I love our landlord.
For having such an awesome, responsive landlord, who's the perfect older Colombian gentleman who's always dressed in a suit, and who always compliments me on how nice the apartment looks every time he's here, I am truly thankful.
