I live in Portland and I was looking for somewhere nice to put my mom and her her friend up while she was visiting from Seattle for her Birthday. I wanted something special in a central location with a classy, comfy vibe. I have to say my expectations were truly surpassed at Valerie’s place. The space itself is flawless, lots of light and a nice clean open feeling. It's definitely modern and homey at the same time. Loved that there was a gorgeous sauna!! There were tons of restaurants and shops nearby in the Freemont area, maybe a 5 minute walk from the house. Valerie is a total sweetheart and she was ready to help with our questions during the visit. The icing on the cake was that Valerie is a massage therapist and offers treatments in her massage studio next door. My mom is a a massage therapist herself and I know she is picky about receiving body work but she absolutely raved about her treatment. Five stars all the way!! I checked with my mom about her feedback and she thought I should mention that the bed was very comfy and it was a quiet neighborhood.
