Access to John's place was easy and he showed me around the house which is more like a hostel than I'm used to with Airbnb. This was not a problem however as I felt freer to 'own' the kitchen etc with the other guests who were all wonderful. I was in the downstairs room and from there one has only a small glimpse of the lake through the trees - but then one can go upstairs and enjoy coffee and the view from the large comfortable lounge area! Having a selection of breakfast things available was a bonus.
