John was a very responsive and accommodating host. Although he lives off-site, he was available by phone and email at all times, including during check-in. The house is beautiful and the apartment is spacious, clean, well-appointed, and completely set up for guests. There is an easy to understand climate control system, washer/dryer, and large, complete kitchen.The neighborhood is quiet and safe and walkable to restaurants, shops, and the bus. I highly recommend the place.
