John's rooms are in a fantastic location and offer good value for price. 6 minutes from the center of Parikia and the port. When we arrived, he picked us up and drove us the 3 minutes from the port to the b&b. It seemed like this was included since they insisted on picking us up instead of letting us walk, but at the end of our stay he requested 2 euros for the ride. You can feel the springs in the bed which might make you a little sore in the morning, but not a problem when you're tired from traveling. We couldn't get the AC to work, but there was a good breeze from outside in September. If you have the chance to stay in one of the homes in the middle of Parikia town I highly recommend you stay in one because the little streets are very cute! But John's rooms do offer a great, cheaper alternative .
