Staying at Ted's was great! He is a very conscientious host and his place is very nice. The mattresses are very comfy and everything is in working order. We stayed there while my in laws were visiting from out of town (we live in Oakland but are currently remodeling and we wanted to stay in a place that had more space). They really loved the view especially. One of the nice things about TED's house in the hills is that, unlike a lot of homes in Montclair, you do not have to go down a deep staircase in order to enter the house. If you were looking for a place to rent for older folks, this is a nice asset.
