John's place was very nice. The view is just as described. It can be a bit noisy with the windows opened, but once closed the unit is quite and perfect for a good night's rest. Location was very important to me and this place was perfect. Walking distance to metro, cafes, food market, tourist attractions, etc. There is a bit of construction work being done in the building, but that didn't affect us in any way. John provided very clear instructions and was available should be have needed any assistance.
