Location, location, location! Overall, if you can learn to live with certain issues, the location is unbeatable and John is a wonderful host. The place looks great in photos, but needs some looking after (broken bathroom tiles, lights that didn’t work, a very stubborn entry door that takes an army to open/close, a flimsy bed, sofa that’s on life support, etc.). We also had an issue with hot water and house heating, which was likely due to extreme weather before we arrived (no fault of the host). The first night and couple days thereafter, I was having to get on my hands and knees to mess with valves under the kitchen counter and adjust valves with a wrench all over the house. Afraid that I might do more harm than good, I finally gave up troubleshooting the problem over the phone with John/Ann and John ended up calling a plumber to take care of it (again, John and Ann are great hosts). The place would really shine with some minor fixes.
