The only thing more amazing than Joie's studio was Joie herself! Her studio is spacious and very wam and welcoming.I had to be at a conference every morning by 9 am so it was great to have the subway so close , only 3 to 4 blocks away. I am a female and my biggest concern was walking back to her place at midnight after my conference. I felt totally safe. Joie made sure I felt at home and had what I needed. She left snacks for me which were much appreciated given my schedule. I really can't wait to stay again! Thank you so much Joie for your warmth, generosity , and graciousness in sharing your beautiful home!!! And by the way I have never slept on a more comfortable mattress !!
