My boyfriend and I have stayed at John's place twice. We returned this year because we had been so happy with it the first time. It was just how we remembered it. The place itself is the perfect size for us. As I've mentioned before, the bedroom is at the back of the unit which is perfect for sleeping in. The overall area is quiet but it's even better in the back of the apartment. Also, the mattress is firm and comfortable. We made the most of the kitchen amenities as well and had dinner at the unit most nights.
The location is perfect. Everything you need is within walking distance. The beach, restaurants, pharmacy, food store, etc. This is a great location for being out of the hustle and bustle while still being able to access everything.
Communication with the host was never a problem and we were very fortunate they they were willing to work with us concerning our check-in and check-out times. Overall great experience.
