Ed was the most welcoming host ever. He took us on a walk through the beautiful redwoods, we had breakfast together, and shared a lot of interesting insights. I was often short for time on my end but nevertheless loved spending time and talking with Ed. The place is tucked away in the redwoods, so one wakes up in the middle of these magnificent trees, however it is not far from a shopping and restaurants (walking distance), one can even take the 35 bus to get around in the valley. There is a little train theme park and hiking opportunities abundant nearby.
