We loved staying at Jon's wonderful apt. He was thoughtful, and considerate of our needs. The apartment is very nice - spacious - larger than we expected, and very inviting, as is Jon. We have adult children in area and Jon welcomed them to visit and talk and have a nice glass of wine out on the deck! Yes there is a lovely deck with plants and lights that is lovely to sit out on and relax and rest. Many lovely plants in apt. that are unusual in character and lovely to look at. Bed is very comfy. I rarely sleep when I am out of town and slept deeply and fully thru the night each night there. Great neighborhood. Union Market right down the street with the best coffee in the city. Very close and convenient to everything, and we were able to find great parking on street. Jon had maps to local areas and brochures on parks and exhibits. Lots of little neighborhood gardens to visit which Jon provides maps to. Jon was easily accessible. We look forward to staying with him again in future.
