From the beginning, planning my trip with Valerie was easy, efficient and reliable. Her home feels like home, welcoming, comfortable, full of love and good energy. As a guest, i felt like a friend and for me, this really made my quick getaway even better. She was aware of my need of my own space and time yet also available to talk share space. The house and my room were impeccably kept, thoughtfully and artistically designed and the 2 cats added a special charm, again, feeling like home. Id highly recommend a stay with Valerie. The neighborhood is interesting, resourceful and super cute. I had a really AMAZING breakfast at The Berlin in Long Beach on 4th st and really recommend eating here! Im SO grateful i found this spot and soul striving to make her world better by being an awesome, open human.
