Joana was a great host, especially for extroverts traveling alone, like I was! She is friendly and interested in your life, open and willing to engage in conversation. She goes above and beyond, even making me tea, helping me with my laundry and practicing Spanish with me. Joana's apartment is small, but cozy. The bed is surprisingly comfortable and I slept like a rock! There are young children somewhere in the building who woke me up one morning, but I sleep really late so early risers will likely not be bothered. Shower and toilet are in separate rooms, which took any awkwardness out of sharing a bathroom. Despite the size of the space and many knick-knacks, Joana keeps a clean apartment. Though lived-in, the bathroom is clean, as is the kitchen. She has a small fridge but is willing to share space in it for those traveling on a budget who wish to eat at home. Joana's cat Moosie is adorable and her indoor plants really brighten the space. The apartment's proximity to a bus stop, as well as the DLR and other train lines make it easy to get to other parts of London. It is also walking distance to Greenwich shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs, a movie theater and Blackheath which means you can stay close if you want to keep it low-key. This is a great value for money and I would definitely stay with Joana again!
