i arrived very late, but Thomas couldn't have been more accommodating. The house is beautiful and the setting even more so. It's such a surprise to be in so much nature in the middle of a big city. Went to sleep to crickets chirping and woke to birds singing. Note that there were people staying in the room above mine and the ceiling creaked whenever they moved about. However the room and setting were so nice that I slept better than usual when traveling. Thomas couldn't have been a better host. I only wish I hadn't been on such a time constraint and could more fully enjoy everything the Zen House had to offer.
