We had a great stay at John's house this past weekend. Booked very last minute, but John was very agreeable, accommodating, and communicative. He even made us blueberry scones! We saw him some, but we mostly went our own ways- we were in town for a family wedding, so were very busy with that.

The house was as we expected, plenty of space for us, clean and comfortable. The location was convenient to the freeway, but there was some freeway noise at night (but we're in the city, so city noises are to be expected!). The back yard had a comfortable deck and hammock, and his cute dogs were so quiet, we didn't even know they were there until day 3!

I would definitely recommend staying at John's house.
