John was a very friendly guy. He kept in good contact prior to my arriving. The room was a good size and very clean, exactly as described and pictured. It was in a good location, in walking distance to Santa Monica beach, the town centre and Main Street. I had to leave the property a day early, but wouldn't have had any problems staying an extra day, and would be happy to stay here again. While I was here John was chatty and helpful, and gave me good advice of some local places to eat and drink. The wifi worked well. Good shower. Overall very good value for money.
