I spent about two weeks at Vanessa's place. Vanessa is bright, lovely and resourceful and she can communicate fluently in French, English and Spanish. She was most generous, she provided for everything and she was available and attentive all the time she was away. I really felt at home and had a great time taking care of all her animals.
