Valerie was a great host. Very open and quick with communication. We stayed with a fairly large group for an overnight retreat. The house itself was beautifully decorated on the inside. Valerie was there to check us in and she went over a few logistical things and gave us a tour of the house.
Our only concern was the construction going on outside in the front lawn. However, wasn't a big issue as the workers left when we had arrived. We also didn't go outside much. Overall great stay at Valerie's. It is also located near a lot of grocery stores which was helpful for us.
