Joe is very friendly and accommodating. He really helped me out with an extra night's stay at the last minute. The place is as described and the pictures are accurate except the bed, which is very comfortable, is in a frame and not on the floor. The place can get busy so if you need to be out early be sure to plan ahead. The Howard stop on the red line is a tiny bit closer but I preferred the walk from the Jarvis stop because you get to see more of the houses in the neighborhood. Joe's place is a great value, the black cat is super sweet, and I'd gladly stay again.
