(1st make sure you are sure about Joseph's because the cancellation policy is strict, and firm) I tried to cancel only a few hours after I booked and could not. I did not read this strict policy...(my fault)
The good things about Joseph's place is it is close to everything, trains, buses, shops, restaurants, drugstore, manhatten is a hop skip and a jump away. also street parking isn't too hard to find if you have a car. Safe neighborhood too. Also bathroom products galore, kitchen well stocked with tea and coffee, hot cocoa and stuff. For me the down side was this... I'm a stickler for good bed linens and a bit of fancy coziness. If you're like me...this wouldn't be the place for you. The beds were lined with plastic and no pads over it, no top sheet under the duvet cover. Kinda small place too, 12 steps from one end of the apt to the other. It was only my husband and I and it was just fine for two people. I don't know where four would all sit together to eat. For me it felt a bit like a dorm-room with a somewhat nice kitchen. If you just want a place to crash though, it's fine.
