It is very important to me to get a good night's sleep. Well, the best nights' sleep I've had on my trip to CA have been here. The general area is quiet, the house is far from any major streets, and Ed and his downstairs neighbor are quiet and considerate. I came in the summer, when there was no need for heat, so cannot comment about possible heating noise.
Plus, Ed makes the effort to be hospitable. My last morning, we went on a walk and he showed showed me where an enormously large and old redwood tree grew.
