Fred made me very welcome and comfortable. The house is just terrific and I was very welcomed to use the common areas, like the kitchen and living room, and music room, which were all really comfortable and beautiful. There were thoughtful and helpful ammenities for the bathroom and nice little touches like complementary fizzy water in the fridge. On a personal note, I was visiting the bay area due to a death in the family, and Fred could not have been a more kind, discreet or thoughtful host - the experience was restorative. I can't recommend the house, or its host more highly. Thank you Fred!
