Michael, thanks for booking my place and for the sweet review. I appreciate how you took great care of the apartment, followed my house rules, and your patience with the power outage. I’m happy you enjoyed your stay, and I welcome you back anytime. Congratulations to your grandson! 🎉🎈🎊😊
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! 😊
The best host we have ever had. From initial communication to working with us due to family illness.

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 :-)
Thanks. Shawn for booking Joyful Quarters for your weekend stay. I'm happy you enjoyed your time here. It was a pleasure meeting and briefly chatting with you. Thanks so much for leaving the place so clean. It was almost like no one was there.😊 I'd be happy to have you back whenever you're in the area again!
This is my 4th long term stay and it did not disappoint! Joyce is a wonderful host and the accommodations were perfect as always.

The location is great, nestled in the greenery of Kingwood. The walking trails are awesome, like walking through the forest.

Barbara was a delightful guest to host at my apartment. She was very respectful of the space, left the place clean, and had great communication. I enjoyed our chats. I’d recommend Barbara to any host and welcome her back anytime!
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.

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
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!

Diane, thanks for that wonderful review. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to do that. It was a pleasure meeting and speaking with you and your husband. You were great guests, and I'm happy you had a nice, comfortable stay. If you’re ever in the area again, I’d enjoy hosting you. Thanks for following my house rules, taking great care of my apartment, and leaving it clean and tidy. I highly recommend you to other hosts.😊
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.

Edwin, I’m happy my apartment aided you in transitioning to your new home here in Kingwood and gave you the opportunity to try out your new neighborhood firsthand. I’m happy myspace provided you and Noy the comfort and peacefulness needed during your hectic process of moving from one home to another. I appreciate you taking great care of my apartment and leaving it clean and tidy.
Thanks so much for your stay. You and Noy were a joy to host and are welcomed back anytime.
Joyce
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 October 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!
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.
