Joans place was absolutely a beautiful home with a spectacular view of LA. Everything was exactly like the pictures. We truly enjoyed the home, especially the family room...it was a comfy place for gathering whether we watched a movie or shared conversation. The only problem were the stairs inside, and thats only because there was no way my 87yr old grandma could use them, or my aunt who has 2 bad knees. I had no idea about the stairs, yet it was easily resolved! My grandma and aunt had no need to come upstairs, they slept downstairs and we shared two meals in the family room. We did use the garage as our main entrance both nights they stayed with us. Our last night there some relatives came over and we enjoyed the backyard, it was so enjoyable. This is definitely a great place for families. My 7yr old absolutely enjoyed the backyard and spent all her time outdoors when we were at the house. The reason I gave it a 4 star was because I believe for the price they could have provided some basics like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and paper towels or napkins. Also I didn’t like that we could not adjust the temperature to our liking. Overall its a beautiful home and we were really comfortable.
