Joan was a great host, responsive and accommodating. His place has all the amenities that you would need, including small kitchen, washer, outdoor clothesline, a small living room, and wifi (about 5 down / 1 up when I was there). Great value. Just be careful going up/down to/from the bedroom, as it's a bit steep, but it was okay for me. The location of the place is pretty good, about 5-10 min walk to lavapies metro station. Note the area is a bit hilly, and the place is on the 4th floor (no elevator), but hey it's good exercise. There are lots of places to eat in the area and a big supermarket next to the lavapies metro. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a great value and helpful host!
