We had a nice stay at Valerie's place. The location is great -- walking distance into the city center, and close to a public transit stop to/from the center as well. The house is well appointed and clean, and the host provided a binder with all the necessary information about the house and the neighborhood. The only drawback is the stairs. They are very authentic for that kind of house, which is to say, close to being a ladder (very steep with narrow treads). However, there is a WC on the ground floor, so going upstairs is only necessary at bedtime, and the stairs turned out not to be too much of an issue.
