As others have said, the photos really do not do justice to John's apartment. It is lovely, in great condition, has beautiful natural light from the windows, and very comfortable to stay in. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bathroom is great, the bed is very comfortable, and the living room has plenty of places to sit and eat or relax. The apartment is also quiet, since it is at the back of the building rather than on the street. Indeed, even when you just enter the front door of the building from the street and go into the interior courtyard, it's amazing how the street noise fades immediately away. And yet you are right in the middle of a great neighborhood. John himself was very accomodating and easy to communicate with. I would gladly stay in his apartment again.
