Staying at John's was great. We each had our own room which gave us time for a little space after busy days. The beds were comfortable and every bedroom had a TV. The kitchen was spacious and we had everything we needed for cooking small meals and snacks, plus the table size was perfect for playing Uno. The fridge was big enough to store all of our snacks and food. The neighborhood is working class, but it was quiet at night. The little market on K street was perfect for picking up fresh produce and sundries, plus grocery stores aren't that far away and provide delivery service too. The zoo is about 8 minutes away and Downtown, Seaworld, and Mission Beach are about 20 minutes away. John was a gracious host and is nearby in case we had any questions or problems. It only took a few moments to find the correct alley to go up, and there was plenty of space for parking.
