Gene was a very generous host and made me feel right at home. He gave me a key to come and go as I pleased and made a great chorizo breakfast for me the morning I left. Gene was eager to share his knowledge of the area and gave me suggestions on a fun and scenic detour to get back home to Palm Springs. The bed was very comfortable and the place was nice and quiet until about 6:30am when the planes started flying over. This did not bother me but if you are a light sleeper and like to sleep in late this may not be the place for you. Over all it was a great 1st time experience for us both and I would definitely stay with Gene again.
