Honestly I never imagined that I’d find a gem like John’s Place without breaking the bank, yet here I am writing this after two calm, peaceful and relaxing days there. No hassle locating it, no struggle finding parking, no issues getting in so I was off to a good start!
From the moment the door opened and I walked inside, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and a calm came over me (which never happens when I’m just arriving somewhere I’ve never been before) and I instantly felt at home. There was a keurig, as well as cream and sugar, the kitchen had everything necessary if you plan on cooking and of course the utensils etc to enjoy your meal.
The living room has a two couches (it’s an L shape just not connected) and one pulls out into a bed which is super comfy. All the linens are so soft and cozy, there are even back ups if need be. There are windows that face the street along one wall, on the other the windows face out to the tranquil courtyard, which has a cute seating area and lots of greenery (huge beautiful orange tree just to name one). Then there’s a desk with 3 ports to plug phone, laptop, etc into and three regular sockets. The lighting is perfect but can be brighter if you prefer. Tv comes with movie packages as well as Netflix so finding something to watch is guaranteed.
The bathroom is quite large, nice shower with shampoo/conditioner and body wash. Plenty of soft and nice towels (face, hand and body), hairdryer and those things that you may not realize you need until you get there, which saved me at midnight.
Bedroom windows face courtyard and the trees give a you a little privacy as well, which I love because you don’t have to block out all natural light to relax and read and not be seen as ppl walk by. Walk in closet with lots of storage!
Lastly, the location is beyond amazing!!! You can walk 5 houses down to your left and you’re on the sand at the beach or you can walk 5 houses to the right and you’re on the sand on Alamitos Bay!!! Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets... not to mention he had kayaks and plenty of other things to enjoy in the water but it’s way too cold for me at this time but I saw many others who seemed happy to be in it!!!
Oh and if you need ANYTHING John responds almost immediately and is so kind!!!
Thank you for being an amazing host John!
