I felt very welcome staying with Ed. It was almost like staying with an old friend or family member. I had the run of the house. I am a rather early riser and Ed would hear me moving around and get up and make coffee for me. I would chat with him in the evenings when I returned. He is a very personable host. I very much enjoyed our talks. He is knows the history of the area which helped to set the background for the view.
The description of the place was accurate perhaps a little understated as far as the view. I was awestruck by it.
