Joan's apartment is super cute and up to date on all appliances! Well worth the price, however there were a couple not so great aspects about the area.
The apartment isn't in the greatest part of town, we felt safe in the apartment but the surrounding area isn't the nicest. During our stay, the downstairs neighbors had two dogs who were barking and howling until 2 in the morning, which didn't affect us as much since we are heavy sleepers, but can be annoying when we are trying to watch a movie in the living room. The neighbors were also constantly smoking Marijuana, so the apartment often smells like that when you return home or wake up.
However, our stay in the apartment was lovely and Joan is a great host to work with!
