Valentina's place was a great place to stay while attending a conference - it was so nice to leave the work atmosphere and be in an interesting place in a neighborhood close to everything. The apartment was clean, quiet, and cool (which was lovely during the heat wave). Everything we needed and more was right there - it was like being at home. Valentina was super quick to respond to questions, and handled a problem almost instantaneously with the help of the friendly on-site building superintendent (I sent Valentina a message, and then there was a knock on the door).
