John's place is exactly as shown in photos but even nicer. We were met and escorted down all the many steps by John's housekeeper who carried our suitcases and showed us everything. He then put John on the phone so we could ask any questions. We were very happy with our stay. John responded instantly to every question by email. His messages are unfailingly friendly and prompt. The location is exquisite- the scenery can't be described. Everything was perfect. Fantastic exercise to get in and out. Not for the arthritic!
