Val is great! She is very welcoming, kind, and laid-back. I moved to DC and needed a place to stay for a month. Val met me the day I moved into her place. She is lovely, and her house was the perfect transition house. There is a bus right down the block, she even took me along with her to target to get some stuff for school. The downstairs room, is huge and very homey. Its nice cause you really feel like you have your own space, while also being allowed to use the kitchen upstairs. My friend stayed with me for three of the four weeks, and we fit just fine. There is one queen size bed, and two very comfortable couches. It is a basement room, but its very nice. Overall I had a lovely stay. And would recommend it to anyone going through transition, or if you have a lot of people who need a place to stay since it is a large space.
