We really enjoyed our stay. Joanne’s place is beautiful and we were definitely welcomed and we felt that warmth from her. But a big thing for us is Self Check In. We only choose places that offer that. Her listing says Self Check In, but instead we received a tour and were handed keys and given rules. This is not a true self check in by definition. As well, we always make sure to choose our stays in places where we have the whole place to ourselves. We did have the whole back house, but with Joanne just in the house 20 feet away, we almost felt watched and unable to fully feel like we were home. It almost felt like there was a lack of privacy. Also, the window in the living room stayed wide open. There is no way to close it, which also helped aid that feeling of no privacy since this window is just a few feet away from her bedroom. You can’t fully have a normal conversation out of fear someone will hear you. When we got back late, we felt like we needed to be extremely quiet since we were passing her room at late hours. The blinds and door have linens that are completely see-thru so if you’re hoping to walk around without pants, try again! Just another way it felt less like being home or having a place to yourself. When we were in the pool, we honestly felt watched. It’s as simple as that. The only other thing was that since the window was open, there were lots of spiders and webs throughout the space. Of course we knocked them down and killed as we found them, but it was just kind of not what we were hoping for. Overall, it is a beautiful place in a great neighborhood, and SO cute. What we see is Joanne really wants a quite couple to come stay, preferably with no children. (Whole different conversation.) if that suits your needs then this will be an excellent stay. We did really appreciate the snacks and stocked fridge, it was very gracious and she is a great host!
