Joan's place is a wonderfully cozy, clean, pretty, comfortable home. She has family living upstairs (it's a duplex) and she has the downstairs to herself. There's a pretty backyard area with lots of seating and plants. The kitchen is large, clean, and has everything you need. Joan is laid back and welcoming; it's easy to make yourself feel at home and comfortable. The room is a good size as is the bed, which is comfortable. The windows in the bedroom look out into the backyard patio area. I had some trouble sleeping because of the grandfather clock in the living area, which chimes every hour. I'm a pretty light sleeper though, and if you are too, I'd recommend a pair of ear plugs. It's not so loud that it'd keep you up otherwise. I basically had the bathroom and kitchen to myself during the stay, though they are shared spaces. The location is great, walking distance to everything I needed. Lots of street parking in the area with pretty lax restrictions (no need for permits and such). House is easy to find, clean, and I overall loved my stay.
