Joan was a wonderful host. This was our first experience with airbnb, and she was very helpful, especially with the check-in process. The apartment was charming and quite comfortable, which is important for a 7-night stay. I really liked the entrance-way, which was on a small porch--very pretty. If you need a hairdryer or an iron, bring your own. It is not a hotel, after all, and we like that part a lot. There is a small refrigerator, a microwave, hotplate and enough dishes and some pots and pans. The bed was very comfortable, too. So glad we discovered Airbnb!
