furnished apartment: the search

There's something quite unsettling about renting a furnished apartment online. The sites where i've been doing most of my search have some brief description's and a few photos of the available apartments, but no matter how good they look in a picture it's still not the same as actually going there and seeing it for yourself. There's this one apartment in particular that i've been eyeing for a while. It's a hybrid between a one bedroom and a studio. The design is very modern and shar7. The location is unbeatable! Close to where i need to be and close to where i wanna be. Problem is i have to pay half upfront and it's almost impossible to cancel. So if there was a problem with it, for instance the owner photo editing somethings out of the apartment (which has happened) i'd be stuck with it. I could wait till i get there myself and take a look before i commit, but i run the risk of losing it to someone else, and i really dont wanna go there without having a clue where am gonna stay. Here's a picture of the apartment and if you look closer below the tv it kinda looks like something was photoshoped, i dont know you tell me.
