Vanessas was a delightful host, welcoming and eager to ensure that our stay was enjoyable and that we had all we needed. The apartment suited us very well and she went out of her way to deal with any problems we encountered. Access to the downtown area is easy if you have a car (which we did) taking us no more than 15-20 minutes outside peak hours. Our only reservation was that there were no restaurants or bars within easy walking distance and it is not an area in which we would be comfortable walking at night.
