We really really enjoyed staying with John! John was super friendly and kind- driving us into the city and giving us tips like what is worth it to check out and where to eat (the pizza place that he recommended was awesome!). John has a ton of thoughtful touches like water for us in our room, outlet adaptors for international travelers, and a tv with Netflix and movies. We felt very welcome and comfortable in his home. We opted to have our clothes washed and dried for a small fee, and were super grateful to have clean clothes for the rest of our journey. We would highly recommend staying with John. :)
