Didn't see much of the host but was well informed beforehand as to how to get into the premises as I arrived late the first day. The place was near to the city and was probably 15-20 minutes walk away. One thing that was quite cumbersome was the driveway up, it was uphill and tight especially when there was already 3 cars parked up there, turning back was quite a hassle. Otherwise, it was a delightful experience to stay at John's place, it was well equipped and clean.
