John was a great host, extremely considerate, checking in on me multiple times during my two week stay, dropping off fresh linens, towels etc. The space itself was very nice, in a quiet neighborhood right next to a grocery store. There is a nice courtyard out back. The one thing to be desired would have been a bigger cooking space. You can see in the pictures of the kitchen. Additionally, I had a little bit of trouble with the oven/stovetop appliance. I was able to bake in the oven, but I was unable to boil water on the stovetop. May have just been me, but something to consider if you are planning on cooking heavily. I would check with John to see if this is actually an issue, or just my ignorance of european cooking appliances.
