Val was extremely welcoming, gracious, and helpful. From greeting us with a snack the very first night to offering advice on nearby places to eat, Val was an exceptional host. She supplied some awesome toiletries and even put fresh flowers in our room. We loved meeting her dog, Bear. The neighborhood is quiet and a short drive to the Lake of the Isles and Hennepin street. Our bed was just one really comfortable part of Val's overall beautiful home. Thanks again!
