EJ was a wonderful host. My mom stayed at his studio while she was in town visiting and she was very impressed by his kindness and helpfulness. We arrived at his place late on the night of my mom's arrival in Oakland, and EJ was there waiting to show us the path to the cottage and help my mom get settled in. He was also wonderful with email/text communication. If I have other family come to town in the future, I will definitely keep EJ's studio in mind as a place for them to stay. The studio is spacious and the shower is amazing!
