John is a lovely host and very responsive. The flat is right at the port and you can see the ferry come in and leave. It's right between a major shopping street and the water with cafes.
I recommend this place warmly, especially if you like the view to the port. I spent almost every morning at the window, enjoying the view.
Personally my girlfriend and I booked this place so I could recover from surgery. The building is very quiet and there is an elvator, so for me this was very good choice.
