Valerie is the host that everybody hopes they get. She came to get me at the train station and offered to take me to a nearby grocery stores to get supplies. Valerie left me some supplies in the kitchen such as soda bread, coffee, juice, butter, etc... She was extremely hospitable and showed me the city on several occasions. Valerie went above and beyond to make my stay wonderful.

Her place is bright, clean and beautiful. The heating system works great and all the kitchen amenities were great. They included a microwave, toaster, kettle, and fridge. There is also a washing machine to do laundry. The location is great - 20 minute bus ride away from the centre of town with two bus lines to choose from in walking distance. You can also walk up the street to the Royal Observatory and see the beautiful views of the city and surrounding countryside at Blackford Hill. I highly recommend Valerie's place.
