Ed is a wonderful, attentive and kind host. I thoroughly enjoyed me conversation with him. He cooked and shared a dinner with me. He made sure the coffee was ready to turn on when I got up. Made me sandwiches for my plane trip home. His house is in the perfect location. In the mountains and 15 mins from the beach. The accommodations are perfect for a solo traveler. I wasn't there much because I was out and about but I had wished to have time to sit on his deck overlooking the redwoods. I'll be back.
