John was a terrific host! His place was exactly as he described, and I really appreciated all the details he provided in his description so I knew beforehand what to expect. He was great at communicating before the trip as well to be sure we were both on the same page about things like check-in/out times. As a woman traveling alone, I felt extremely safe and comfortable there.
John was very friendly, offered tips when I needed them, and made sure I had everything I needed. He completely respects your privacy and does not ever bother you, but lets you know he is around if you need anything. He seems to have thought of everything, including having tons of extra toiletries on hand like sunscreen - that was a great touch that I'm sure many guests appreciate as much as I did.
The house itself was very clean, once again exactly as described, and located in a safe neighborhood with tons of places within walking distance to shop, eat, and drink. It was also just a quick walk to a nice park and the beach. Couldn't have asked for a better location!
Overall, having the security of a safe and comfortable place to stay (within a budget!) made my trip more enjoyable and less stressful. I'm very appreciative for John sharing his home with me and have already recommended it to others!
