Valerie's place is a real gem. The living room is so bright and airy, and the whole apartment is comfortable and spacious. Valerie was a generous host who took the time to get us oriented at the beginning and checked in to make sure we were doing fine. The neighborhood is interesting and diverse, something we really liked. And it was surprisingly quiet. We joked that her apartment was actually quieter than our apartment in a tiny village in Spain. We would be very happy to stay here again.
