Joshua's place is very clean and it seems like all the appliances and the bathroom are new. It is a basement unit with an independent entrance next to the garage, but very quite although the family lives above. The kitchen is well stocked with everything necessary to prepare simple meals. It's a very comfortable place to rest after busy days, and is in a very serene neighborhood close at walking distance to the lake and a very nice street full of shops and restaurants. It's also close to bus lines that go downtown, which gave us options if we didn't want to use the. car. We didn't happen to meet the host in person during the visit, but he reached out a day or two before check in and gave very clear instructions on what to do for check in, which was nice.
