Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to meet Valerie but Jason was very welcoming and his friends helped carry our luggage to the third floor where the room is. The room was lovely and exactly as pictured! A little inconvenient that the washroom is on the first floor but the bathroom is clean and the included breakfast is much appreciated as I am always hungry upon waking up, haha. I love fruit and was very grateful for the fruit available throughout the day. You can imagine how amazing a cold, thirst quenching slice of watermelon is after a hot, humid day! Jason is friendly and open to conversation, it was interesting to discuss cultural differences with him from his interactions with diverse cultures in his previous employment! His expertise in hotel management really shined in all the details of this listing, from the towels and hairdryer to bottled water and noiseless mini fridge. All in all this is a great place to book. The neighborhood may be a hit or miss in terms of how safe you feel based on what you are normally used to. Personally, we felt a little unnerved at night in the dark blackness, and the sidewalks are rather broken, but it's largely fine. We felt privacy in our room and we recommend this airbnb place to everyone!
