John is a very communicative and friendly/welcoming host. He was kind enough to let us stay with our dogs which we REALLY appreciated. Loved the comfy beds, hot tub and cozy robes too. Great location near Alberta Arts. Unfortunately the bathroom had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and we didn't notice it until late at night so were unable to have it remedied. Likely an aberrant oversight given all the positive reviews though. DO NOTE that while MOST of the apartment is private, there are shared areas in the back where the host/owner come through to access their apartment.
