The apartment is nice and nicely located. There’s no living room so the only communal space is the kitchen, but that’s fine. Only reason why I’m not giving five stars is because in one of the rooms there were bees and we had to deal with getting rid of them. They did refund us 15% for the inconvenience, but the whole experience was unpleasant, and not worth going through.

John’s place was a great, easy stay and exactly what I needed for my trip. The location was very convenient, the space was comfortable, and everything was as described in the listing. Check-in and the overall stay were smooth. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in the area.
