Wade was a really great and warm host. He was a consistent communicator with a quick response time to any of our questions or needs. We loved our stay at his Essex House retreat. It is a squeaky clean, very nicely appointed apartment with a full kitchen. The bedroom is separate with a comfy bed and chic en suite bathroom. We took advantage of the grill and cooked out twice, enjoying dinner and the evening in the courtyard under the beautiful cedar pergola. It was definitely a 5 star stay.
