Val was an extremely helpful and pleasant host. Despite our arrival time of 9pm Val was present to show us the place and offer lots of helpful tips. Val's place consists of a lovely large living area and very cosy bedroom. There was a small sink, microwave, and general kitchen amenities but no oven, but this was not a problem for us. There was a television and all the usual channels, but no sky. Again this was not a problem at all for us. The apartment was warm despite the cold weather, and there was immediately accessible hot water for the shower and taps. Val's homely touches were great, there was milk, bread, coffee, tea sugar and some jams which made great breakfast before going out. On leaving Val even helped us de-ice our car. She was a perfect host and would happily stay again.
