This is perhaps one of the most interesting, fun, rewarding and welcoming Airbnb experiences we have ever had before. Not because John's house was super luxury or super clean, ironically the opposite. However, John and his family is super friendly, kind and hospitable, no one would ever felt or left unwelcomed.
On the day of our arrival in Christmas Eve, although we were late, John and his family made an effort to wait and greet us warmly. Moreover, they even prepared everyone of us a Christmas gifts on the next day, which was Christmas, the kids were thrilled for we have never had expected it at all.
John himself is very friendly and funny. He's full of story and history to tell... If you have time, suggest you have a cup of coffee with him, you may find him more than what he looks like he is... He has two adorable kids and a beautiful wife from the Philippines, again she 's more than kind and cheerful.
If what the above is not enough, how about your host "John" picked oysters personally from the beach in front of his house and prepared it for your breakfast? That's what we've had, not from the supermarket, but freshly picked from the beach at 5:30am... what a host!!
Still not enough? how about catch a boat ride on One of his "down-to-earth" boats, out to the open sea fishing? The most fun and memorable part was, in fact, not that we caught any fish (we caught none), but we ended up in the middle of the a Sailboat Competition, seeing tens of professionals and beautiful sailboats passing us, heading towards Melbourne for competition. What a spectacular view and experience!!
I guess by now, you would know what a wonderful host John is. I truly hope that, whoever comes to John's house, comes with an open mind,. Do not judge by the look of the house, or the people, or the first impression, but with an opened heart!
Enjoy George Town, enjoy Low Head! Cheers...
