John was hospitable. He gave my guest and I suggestions on things we could do, let us join him in a movie fiesta at his apartment, and was courteous in that he played Brazilian music for us with disco lights. He also was accommodating to our needs. The apartment and room is just as pictured and the place is a few minutes walk to the subway. The area is pretty quiet although you can hear the people upstairs walking around sometimes. I liked the apartment because we were able to cook and most things needed were supplied. All in all, the experience was good and it was helpful that John was accessible to answer any questions I had.
