Joy is an exceptionally capable and experienced host. Her downstairs room is spacious and comfortable, with a well equipped area for preparing simple food and hot drinks. It is very nicely located away from the busy part of town but still very accessible to everything by car. You can even walk into town in about 15-20 min. The only minor inconvenience was that we had to keep all the curtains drawn if you don't want to be exposed to view from the street or the neighbors front entryway, which made the room dark.
