John's flat is accurately portrayed in his photos. The area was safe and the building was easy to access with a smart lock. There is a bodega, bars, restaurants, and other stores right outside the building.
The flat was wonderful and can definitely fit more people (3 queen sized beds, 1 single bed, 1 futon, and a couch). However, one a/c unit in the room did not work for us during our stay. But overall, house rules were clearly stated and everything else was great.
