As three young women traveling alone, Joni's place was great for us. The neighborhood looks a little rough around the edges at first but it took us no time at all to settle in and feel safe. We walked everywhere (even at night) with no issue. We loved that there were two coffee shops within a block of us! It's a little loud but we didn't mind: we could sometimes hear the school marching band practicing or a train horn in the distance. The place was clean with lots of natural light, and we loved the balcony! The bedrooms are adjacent so if you're staying in the 2nd room you have to walk through the 1st room to get to the kitchen/bathroom. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable but the bathroom was a little small. There's no living room so our only common space was the kitchen, but the overhead lights kept flickering. The building smelt faintly of cigarette smoke, and the knob on our apartment felt like it might fall off if you pulled too hard! Small imperfections but great overall!!
