Joan was an incredible host (always available and communicative and thoughtful) and Joan's apartment was exactly how it looked in the photos – immaculate, smelled lovely, the softest bedding ever (my kids kept asking me to buy the sheets for our own home!), and Joan brought just incredibly thoughtful touches (bottles of water, coffee pods, a thank you gift of nice chocolates and a bottle of wine). Check-in was super easy and if you're traveling with a small dog, the little gated-in area in the front yard was perfect for them. The immediate location of the apartment felt safe and quiet (though the surrounding area a bit north felt a little less charming from what I could see on my drive down). All in all, a really lovely stay with an excellent host. Can't recommend enough.
