Not only does the name for Elizabeth and Philip's place come from Lord of the Rings, they are absolutely WONDERFUL people. (Their cats are nice, too.) We stayed with them for two nights while we visited friends and explored San Francisco. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with lots of books we wish we'd had more time to read! Philip made us welcome as soon as we arrived, and Elizabeth greeted us when she arrived home from work. They were very easy going about when we got up or arrived back in the evening, and stayed up talking with us until the wee hours of the morning. Both are great fun to talk to, and gave us wonderful suggestions for the rest of our trip — as well as books to read! Elizabeth actually lamented being unable to cook us dinner. Truly, very wonderful people. Thank you so much for having us in your home; we can't wait to come back!
