The apartment was exactly as per the description (except the lil Fredy - a fish) ;)
Vanessa was great as she made proper arrangements to ensure that I get the details in her absence. She was very easy to communicate with as well. She was very kind to even offer the taxi services of her friend (considering there was a taxi strike in the last 2 days of my stay). Overall a great experience!!

The only one thing (not so negative as I understand the circumstances) was the rigidity in the cancellation. I was supposed to be staying at the apartment for 4 nights. But due to cancelation of my flight, I reached a day later and hence ended up paying for 4 nights. Neither of us could have controlled the situation as Vanessa cancelled others to give the place to me and hence would understand her not refunding the money. Neither could I do anything even though I had communicated the same to her before my departure too. This was a rare case and hence I will not consider this as a negative at all.
