If you perhaps have forgotten what the word “civilized,” in its most positive sense, might mean, then a stay with Bill and Christine will go a long way toward refreshing your memory. They’re kind, intelligent, broadly interested in and informed about the world, and eager to participate in the sort of communication which immediately transcends the mechanical requirements of the host-guest roles. As for the room, it is immaculate, comfortable, and well-appointed. If you are a pro basketball player, you should know that the headroom is somewhat reduced: the room is a below-street-level conversion.
