Val was a fantastic host. He really went above and beyond what could be expected. In addition to the standard attributes of a good host; thoughtful, honest, and good communication, Val treats his guests the same way he would treat a good friend; sharing food, drink, and if desired, alcohol!
Val shows a genuine interest in talking to and getting to know his guests. We ended up talking for hours! This fact is well balanced with Val's ability to observe and respect the times when you would like to have your own space.
The room was clean and tidy, with multiple clean towels provided. Val even added a bed-side light for nighttime reading for his guests.
I'd happily stay there again, and probably will :)
