Joan's place was perfect for attending a conference across the street at the Sheraton. The bed was comfortable and it was very nice to have a kitchen and living space in addition to a desk, iron, hairdryer, etc. when traveling for business. Joan met me to let me in on the first day and show me where everything was in the apartment, how everything worked (TV, thermostat), and to make sure I could connect to the wifi. She even lent me an umbrella since I arrived in the middle of a downpour and had to go out again. As some other reviews have noted, there is street noise as it is located in a large city so this place may not be ideal for all guests but I did not have any issues with it. Overall it was a great stay and Joan was a wonderful host.
