I would like to speak to the ladies that are traveling alone. Ed is very respectful and is very helpful about the area. His home is not fancy but it is welcoming and clean. If he left the house earlier than I did he ALWAYS locked the outside door for my safety. (Not that it's a bad neighborhood, it's not at all, it was just a caring thing to do) It is a hilly area with large Redwoods and cabin type houses. It's a nice place to walk at anytime. I would refer any of my family or friends to stay at Eds. 😊 So go for it. 👍
