John's place is a lovely stay. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos. It's right next to a 99c store which is a small grocery store, however there were also a few things left by previous guests such as olive oil, sugar, vinegar, green tea, and other cooking essentials. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and the knives were sharp!
Some surfaces were not totally clean upon arrival and the floor was not well vacuumed. There were unfortunately no cleaning products to fix this so we ended up buying some wipes to clean.
I would give this place a higher rating if the shower pressure could be reduced to a comfortable level (and to reduce wasting water!) and if the living area had curtains. We were in a fish bowl in the evenings and didn't feel like we had any privacy as people on the street could easily look into the apartment and see everything you're doing.
Despite being close to restaurants the neighborhood is quiet. Overall a nice place with room for improvement.
