I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Joan's. Hers is a busy, lively household decorated throughout with lovingly chosen "Americana". As an artist I was grateful for being surrounded by so much interesting visual stimulation.

The bedroom was quite spacious, clean and quiet, with a very comfortable bed. Although I refrained from cooking (more like reheating), the kitchen was immaculate and well appointed. The bathroom was very clean with a great shower.

Joan was truly cordial, funny and outgoing, and although she was very busy, was attentive to anything I might need.
Communication was good. We texted about arrival time and the best parking options. The address is near downtown so depending on the time of day, parking can be tight. Luckily, I found a place very nearby so unloading bags was easy. As previously agreed, I was welcomed by Joan's daughter-in-law and their adorable dog and then shown the space.

Staying with Joan was such a pleasant experience for me. I came there exhausted and pretty frazzled. I left in much better spirits.
Thank you so much for sharing your home, Joan!
