Valerie is extremely nice. We had everything we needed and more! Flowers and cheese were waiting for us on our arrival. Beautiful backyard. There were tons and tons of upside of staying at the Healing Place. If you want a Brooklyn experience at an affordable price don’t look any further. The only thing I can mention that might be a concern to some guests is that the apartment is connected to the host’s apartment via a staircase without a door or a wall so you don’t have 100% privacy and voice travels from one floor to another. That being said we didn’t mind as Valerie is so nice and we made sure to make minimum noise :) We would love to go back soon if she would have us.
