Joanne's place is a great stay. Yes, the N and W trains pass by right outside, but it wasn't that big of an issue for us. The fact that the train station was less than a block away and made for an EASY trip to midtown and beyond was specifically what brought us to Joanne's place. The apartment is well furnished and Joanne had both beds already prepped and ready for us when we got there. She was always very prompt to respond. The neighborhood was also very nice and we always felt safe and comfortable.
