This is the third time in a year that I've stayed at Valerie's apt. This time was for six days.
I adore the flat: the location, the decor, the cleanliness, the well-lit bathroom, the spectacular radiator next to the bed, the plethora of blankets and pillows, the provided pantoufles, all the coffee I could possibly want for the mocha pot, the comfortable sofa bed right up against another radiator, the huge, bright kitchen... ugh, this place is unreasonably awesome. Plus, Valerie and her husband communicate wonderfully--a perfect balance of checking in to make sure one is doing well without being intrusive.
Were I forced to criticize the flat, I'll note that the kitchen is freezing on cold mornings and colder days, even with the heating set to higher temps (though I know that's just a natural downside to ridiculously high ceilings and large windows, so I wrap a blanket around my shoulder, slip on the pantoufles, and suck it up). But so long as the doors between the kitchen and the rest of the apt remain closed, the living room+bedroom are cozy as can be, no matter the outdoor temp.
Beyond that quibble, the apt is as bright, clean, comfortable, and lovely as I could possible want and I hope to continue staying here for so long as it remains available whenever I come in to town!
