John was an awesome host! I was in town for a yoga workshop and he tracked down the studio just to be able to give me the right directions, he messaged me specifically to let me know about a cheap way to get to Santa Monica from LAX, and he helped me figure out how to get to Long Beach at the end of my stay. The room was exactly as described - quiet, private, roomy and comfortable. The location is amazing - right near the ocean, close to everything - and there is tons of great food nearby. I would definitely stay with John again.
