We have now stayed twice with Edward, and his place would be our first choice on any return trip to the Bay Area. You enter through a side gate into a garden that seems like Shangri-La and then into the basement apartment. Edward is kind, discreet, helpful, and compassionate. He also has thought of just about every detail imaginable for his guests, including amenities and fixings for breakfast, as well as a bookshelf of reads and a reference binder for the neighborhood. Linens are first-rate, and the bed is very comfortable. A special treat is the welcome given by the wonderful Lab, Lucy.
