Valierié made the group feel very welcome at her apartment. She greeted me on arrival and showed me around the huge space which was useful. The apartment looked very much like the pictures although it was a little dusty and worn in places but overall it was very nice. There also was not a lot of space for storing clothes in all of the rooms and as we were there for a week this was disappointing. There was one big wardrobe with lots of hanging space but it was attached to one of the rooms so not feasible for everyone to use.

The surrounding area was ok but we did not find there was much to do locally. However, we did not expect there to be and made trips into downtown on a regular basis which was very easy.
