John’s place was better than expected — very clean, with comfy beds, a nicely-stocked kitchen, redwood trees on the property, and lots of privacy and quiet. While we didn’t get the chance to use the hot tub, it’s a welcome bonus. Some things to be aware of: the fireplace is off limits, but the house does have good central heating. There are no cellphone signals, but the wi-if is speedy and there’s a house phone that can be used. Overall I had a lovely time, and would have stayed longer if I could have.
