I chose Valerie S.’s place because of its proximity to the venue of the conference I was attending and the common feedback that it is clean. True enough, the room was clean, except for the brick pathway outside which needs scrubbing or replacement. It’s the first thing you see going to the room and the only view from the room. I like how the room is tastefully decorated though and I was pleased to see the table with a vase of red roses and a tray filled with breakfast items when we checked-in.
The threshold to the shower area gets wet and slippery when someone takes a shower because the glass partition is only half-way and this can be a safety issue. Another difficulty I encountered was with the door lock. One time we came home late (around 11 pm) and couldn’t open the door. We messaged and called Valerie but she was not answering so we had no choice but to knock on her door even if we were embarrassed to do it. Eventually someone came out to help us unlock the door. There was also this one time there was water interruption and we were not given prior notice. Because of this we were delayed in going out.
Overall, I would consider Valerie S.’s place very nice and safe, my stay comfortable.
