Joys place was lovely, more beautiful than the pictures show. Good secure entrance, comfortable bed, and beautiful personal touches. About a 15-20 min walk from the fun parts of Gastown, although you have to walk through some dangerous bits of the city so be aware of that. The home itself was very secure. If you have a car its very easy to drive to anywhere in the city. Joy herself is so lovely, we arrived a bit early and she let us check in no problem! She also let us check out a bit late cause there was no one staying the night after us. So hospitable and lovely! Definitely will stay here again.
