Vanessa made me feel very welcome. Before my stay I needed to know how big the freezer space in the apartment was as I was bringing a huge mountain of ice cream that I make to share with friends coming to stay and to have at my party. Vanessa sent me a photo of the freezer and also arranged to store any surplus in a near-by apartment. Vanessa also organised the parking for the weekend which was really helpful. I had the feeling of staying at a friend's house.
The neighbourhood was fantastic. As I had overseas visitors with me (and keen shoppers) it was great to be in the heart of the city so there wasn't far to go for shops, eateries and tourist sites.
