My overall impression is that John anticipated my needs all along the journey. And he did this without being "chummy."
•He was responsive about finding my way front he airport to his house.
•His door was open when I got there.
•He knew the first things I'd need when got there: 1) a place to recharge my phone and 2) a bathroom!
•He had a deft touch in terms of his interaction: he was helpful without being "in my business." He was available to help with the TV, he made me a cup of tea when I got back in the evening.
The neighborhood is quiet, his house is quiet. It is easy to get public transportation to other places. I'd stay there again and recommend it to others in a heartbeat.
