Had a pleasant stay at Joan's place, however there are a few things to be mindful of that aren't explicit in the details of the property:
1. You only get a key to your room and don't have the ability to lock up the entire place. Also, the lock to the room is via a padlock that is on the outside of your room door so there is no ability to lock the door when you're inside your room. This is the first time I've stayed in a 'private room' situation so I don't know if this type of 'security' is common.
2. The apartment is on the main road so you do hear noise from the street but it's not too loud with the windows shut.
3. The bedroom was relatively close to the kitchen so you can smell whatever anyone is cooking from your bedroom
Apart from these things, my stay was quite comfortable at Joan's place. You can tell the room was recently painted, and the bathroom was also recently upgraded. The location is very convenient, only a short walk to the tram or train stations and only 15 mins by car from the city.
