Joan's place is exactly as you see on the pictures so you won't be disappointed. It's new, clean, and very nicely decorated. The washroom shower is very unique, you will feel comfortable using it. I would definitely stay here again. With that being said, the location is not convenient by public transit. I would not recommend to those without a car or bicycle. Other than the location not being public transit friendly (it's located on a hill, and is about a 10-15min walk from transit depending if you're walking up or down the hill) it is only about a 10min drive to downtown!
