Val is so great. She was really accommodating and open to questions and getting to know each other if that's what I was wanting (I always do.) Her love of Brooklyn and NYC is very sincere. She keeps you guessing at the cool things she's done in her life. Her location is perfectly located in North Williamsburg, not even two blocks from the Bedford train stop on Bedford Ave. The place is very secure, which was very comforting as I was traveling alone. The rooftop was wonderful - it's huge so privacy is available or you can meet other rooftop goers - it has a stellar shot of the city skyline. Would definitely stay here again, and will definitely look Val up when I go back if I don't stay here. She's a joy and to have a met and my visit was definitely enhanced by her host.
