We never got to meet Valentina, but her husband Herb was so helpful and welcoming. The place was great, super cute and impeccably clean with a big bathroom and kitchen. There's a lovely queen size bed and a smaller "European type bed. " Both beds were cozy and warm. We stayed for 4 nights, but it would be easy to stay at Valentina's place for an extended period of time. The location is amazing, just 2 short blocks from the Barton Springs Road restaurant row. I walked around town lake every morning. The entrance to Zilker Park is so close. This would be the ultimate place to stay for ACL. It took us less than 10 minutes to drive and park in SoCo. I would highly recommend Valentina's place to all my friends. I'd love to go back and stay there again.
