Catherine, Unfortunately, when you write reviews and accidentally hit the submit button before finishing it can’t be corrected. “Plew”? LOL 😂 You already told me via email that you enjoyed your stay and I’m really happy that you did. Thanks for writing the sweet note in my ideas and suggestions book and leaving the apartment nice and clean. I appreciate your stay and welcome you back anytime! 😊

Cathy, It was a pleasure having you here. You were wonderful guests! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and I'm looking forward to you coming back next tax season. I especially appreciate you leaving the place so clean and taking the time to wash the towels and sheets. What a pleasant surprise! You will have to send me instructions on how to fold fitted sheets. I actually tried to figure out how you did that. LOL :-)

Very clean and conscientious

Enjoyed our stay! Only improvement recommended is to consider upgrading bed and bed pillows. Bed felt fine initially but after sleeping it was apparent it doesn’t support very well.
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Nov 2023
Camille, Thanks so much for your review and honest opinion regarding my bed and pillows. It's a fairly new bed, about 3.5 years old and there were extra new pillows in the chest in the bedroom in case you needed them. I indicated that in the house rules online and on the copy in the apartment. I've gotten just the opposite review from other guests regarding the bed. So I'm disappointed to hear you didn't sleep comfortably during your stay. I will do some research and try to make this right as I don't want my guests spending their money and not getting a good night's sleep. I'm sorry for your discomfort and will be in touch with you to offer you some type of compensation. Thanks so much for your feedback, for leaving the apartment clean, and for choosing Joyful Quarters for your stay. I hope you consider coming back again someday. Warm regards, Joyce

Peaceful Transition Space

The use for us was a temporary living space between the sale of our home and move to our next home. The property is located in the area we moved to so it was nice to get used to the area while here. The quietness of Kingwood is clearly evident in this space. It was a very nice temporary home for us. I’m thankful the owner chose to offer it on VRBO. Short or long stay it is comfy.

Thanks so much for your stay.  You and Noy were a joy to host and are welcomed back anytime. Joyce

Great 3 weeks stay

We stayed almost 3 weeks in this great ground floor garage apartment. It was extremely clean, comfortable and convenient. We met Joyce and her son when we arrived and saw them a few times during our stay, they were always friendly and pleasant. The unit was wonderful! Comfortable bed, spacious living area. Plenty of room for food storage and prep. We would have enjoyed their lovely backyard but it was hot and humid so we chose to stay in a view it out the windows. Parking is no problem. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to this area. Great walking trails too!

My stay was for about one month and went very well. The host goes out of her way to provide a comfortable place to stay, with a number of extras waiting for you upon arrival. The appliances work great, the AC runs cold, and the entire place is on great shape. I highly recommend, and I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Best of the best

this is a marvelous experience, in a beautiful part of the town is a great place to stay. the check in was just for me using numbers I was familiar with, a great touch! the room was stocked with fresh fruit, coffee, and all of the condiments I could possibly need, snacks, pots and pans, I cannot think of anything I needed that was not provided. Thank you Joyce for a great time. Only thing I would mention is the amount of decorative pillows on the bed, they are beautiful, but where do they go when I go to bed?
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Oct 2021
Thanks so much Danny for your kind words. I'm so happy you enjoyed the apartment and neighborhood. You were really quiet and great guests. I appreciate the way you cared for my place and left it really clean. I'm sorry the decorative pillows were a bit of a problem for you. Next time you come (hint hint), just throw the pillows into the bathroom closet or even the game closet to get them out of your way. Thanks again for your stay. You're welcomed back anytime!

Lovely Hideaway

Our stay was wonderful. Thank you Joyce! The apartment is spacious and inviting. It’s a little out away from the busy Houston area, but the area is gorgeous to drive through. Quiet neighborhood with lots of walking paths. We were able to relax in peace. It was like being at home away from home.
