Valerie's place is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever stayed. All of the natural light and the design of the house is unlike anywhere I've ever been. The patio, the bathtubs, the decorations.. Sure, it is pricey, but if you are having a get together with some friends - it's 100% worth it. The only slight downside is we had some issues getting hot water but there were quite a few of us showering back to back so that could have had something to do with it, and it was a minor setback considering everything else. Valerie even left a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us because it was my best friend's bachelorette. A lovely and communicative host with the most aesthetically pleasing home! Highly recommend - you won't regret it.
