Joy's place IS quiet! It's protected from outside noises, and the layout of the apartment ensures that late sleepers won't be bothered by bustling in the kitchen. About sleeping, the mattresses and pillows are cushy, and the sheets are elegantly smooth--all producing a good night's sleep. Joy is a dream host, friendly, helpful, concerned, and not intrusive. When we told her we might need a bigger place for an extra companion, she volunteered to ensure that we wouldn't have to forfeit any of our Airbnb costs if we had to look for someplace else. Fortunately, our problem didn't materialize, and we were able to stay with joyful and generous Joy.
