John was the best host I have had yet. He was so very considerate from very first message I sent to the last moment we spent. Though his site normally only hosts 3 people, he obliged in allowing myself and 5 others to stay in his room, providing extra blankets, pillows, and towels. Once in Dublin, we got a bit lost on the way over, and he got on his bicycle to come find us! Once we had arrived, he took the time to point out local areas, bars, places to eat, and sites to see on a map, providing both clear directions and some history of Dublin in step. During this conversation, I casually mentioned that our phones weren't working abroad unless we had wifi. Only hours later when we were leaving for the night, he gave us a phone he had gotten in case we were in any danger or needed help home!! Altogether, he was a great, great guy and I highly highly recommend his site to anyone. Absolutely phenomenal.
