John is a great host, he gave me tips, info about how to get around in the city, helped me with my suitcase upstairs and even went to the library and got me a map of the city with the subway lines. The place is clean and big enough. I like the fact he had among other things a blow dryer so I could do my hair once I showered every night after a long day visiting a lot of the attractions the city has to offer.
The location is also great, not far from the tourist places, bus and the 18th street which is full of restaurants and bars. The neighbourhood in general is really nice.
