Valerie is kind, thoughtful, and a very giving host. She communicated well, and we arrived to find champagne, orange juice, wine and other things like a gift certificate awaiting us. Her loft is impeccable. We've never stayed in a place we enjoyed so much before. Definitely would stay again! There are SO many perks to her place. The music system, the outdoor sauna, the ability to do laundry, the plush robes and amazing decor.... I could go on all day. If you're going to Portland, THIS is the place to book. Seriously, adorable, amazing. Can't say enough about Val and her rental.
