We had a great four days at Jay's place. The location was a perfect retreat from city life. The house setting was beautiful. We spent two of our four days just sitting there, eyes raised from our books to the trees and back again. The house itself was simple, functional, clean, well appointed and comfortable. Unlike a number of places we have stayed, it was not at all 'sterile'. It really felt like someone's special holiday house that we were lucky enough to share for a few days.
