I give the stay at Val's place a 5 star just for her communication alone. We booked the night before our planned arrival and had a message back almost instantly, and had very quick responses throughout the stay as questions arose. There are many thoughtful touches around the unit which made it very homey, like a small included breakfast. Tip - dont turn the hot water switch off accidentally like we did, haha, but Val was very quick to help us with that. The only thing was the wifi was spotty and a bit weak at times. Works best in the kitchen, but other then that we loved our stay! The area is not shiny and new but we didn't have any issues with the people in it as we walked around in the evenings. Being within walking distancd to the train station and metro was amazing as well.
