Was the perfect location! I was staying the week to do my practical for Pet Massage at the Oregon Humane Society and Joanna's place was perfectly situated for me. Close to places to find a bite to eat and have a drink after a long day and it was about 15 minute walk to the Humane Society. A 15 minute walk to Alberta street and there are a lot more restaurant and CUTE shopping options. I loved her space, it was clean, cozy and homey. Had everything I needed in the kitchen and the space was well laid out. Joanna was very helpful and very responsive (like when I didn't realize there was a closet in the space that housed the hairdryer and needed to head out for the day! :)) Like others said, it is a basement suite, so can be a bit noisy above, but I didn't find it too loud. If you bring an ipod, phone or laptop that has music, you can plug into the Auxiliary stereo cable and you can listen to your music. I didn't bring my adapter to my phone (since it doesn't have a regular headphone jack) but had my laptop, so it was perfect to listen to music on the retro stereo provided. Highly recommend her space and I would definitely stay again!
