John is very communicative and friendly as a host, and the place is in a convenient spot right across from a train stop. However, we didn't find the place very clean and there were some musky smells in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, the bathroom had a couple issues - the water drained incredibly slowly in the sink and the water in the toilet would only refill after a long time, so it could only be flushed every 30 minutes or so.
