Valerie's place has cozy, beachy vibe in a quiet, pretty neighborhood with a bunch of crazy good shops/restaurants a quick walk away (Duck and Bunny was the group fav). While we didn't spend much time hanging out around the apartment, it was well kept and decorated. The bathroom is boss, and for those who like serious shut eye, both sleeping areas are not easterly facing and have some nice shades. While we didn't meet Valerie she was an effective communicator and had excellent turn around as to questions leading up and during our stay. Great experience :)
