Joan was a wonderful host, and the location can't be beat. We were 1 block away from the Latin Quarter and many wonderful places to eat, drink and hear great Irish music. Joan had excellent suggestions for us, and her book of information on the apartment and area was very helpful. I have a sensitivity to scented products and Joan went out of her way to not only have the linens laundered in scent free detergent, but also purchased sent free clothes detergent and dish detergent for our stay.
