John couldn't have made us more welcome both on arrival and throughout our stay - he ensured we could contact him if necessary, and checked that we were ok whilst there. The house and fittings/fixtures were fully explained to us and the security of the property was most reassuring. The house is very convenient to the city centre; close to bike hire, buses & taxis; nearby bars and eateries and places of interest. The house provided spacious accommodation for the 6 of us (3 couples) and would equally serve a family group with children. The garden was a pleasant area to enjoy the sunny days. A separate toilet/bathroom (or extra toilet facility) would make life a little easier but this didn't detract too much from our overall comfort and pleasure of staying at the house. The individuality of the internal aspects is interesting and makes for a great feeling of home. If both sofas in the living room were 3 seaters it would provide sufficient space for all 6 persons to seat comfortably together - or maybe a large sitting cushion could be added? All facilities were in the house - in fact more than we required (the draw of the many bars/restaurants meant we didn't cook!). John facilitated our arrival and leaving timings with understanding and ease. And furthermore, the 'extra mile' has been made by John in his sending by registered mail a necklace which we accidently left behind - THANK YOU!
