We had a very pleasant stay here for our 10th wedding anniversary.

The room is a smallish bedroom with a small bathroom ensuite. It opens out onto the deck via a sliding glass door. There is no connection with the house.

THE GOOD

Eric was a kind and thoughtful host. He provided one or two things we asked for and let us be as reclusive as we liked. The room was clean, light, airy, and well-furnished. The bed was a good size and had a big heavy coverlet, which I like, though my wife does not. There were extra large pillows to allow comfortable sitting up in bed. There were two chairs in the room and two on the deck. The house abuts a ravine and the deck looks out into a fairly heavy thicket of trees. The neighborhood is a little isolated and quite quiet. This is basically the perfect little double-occupancy getaway.

THE BAD

No coffee machine?!? But we need our Elixir of Life! There *is* an electric kettle and Trader Joe's sells an acceptable instant coffee. We made do.

The bed is on the hard side. Our bed at home is on the ridiculously cushy side. I have an old pain disorder in my back. So the first night was tough. Then I figured out an arrangement that would work and was fine after that.

No tub, but you can't have everything. The shower was wonderfully hot and had good water pressure.

THE UGLY

My wife wouldn't let me use the Wi-Fi very much.
