Valerie is super nice. she is able to pick me up at the airport with minimum charge. first contact with the host is by far the most important. someone may left you without a key and standing on the street for a while. she greeted me and help me with the car rental. I only ask for a bed to sleep for two days. I got just that. Nights are quiet and bed is extra comfortable. I sleep at her place better than at home. she is a wonderful host. if I ever stop by Minnesota again, I will definitely stay at her place.
