You'll have private access to a bedroom, bathroom, & office space at Jo's and the spaces were very clean and welcoming. The front and back porch were especially lovely to sit outside and feel surrounded by nature. We didn't find out until the day before we arrived that Jo is incredibly sensitive to smells and asks you to not use perfumes, essential oils, etc. We were happy to comply, but then very soon upon arrival she confronted us about bringing a "mildew" smell into her home and made us feel very uncomfortable when we couldn't immediately figure out what it was. We agreed to leave our shoes on the porch and that seemed to settle things. We wanted to give future guests a heads up that because you're staying in someone's home while she is there as well, she will smell your Chacos and promptly put them outside.
