Ralph called the weekend before we were scheduled to arrive to give us key instructions. He was very warm and friendly. The neighborhood is very nice with a quick walk down hill to the lake. The apartment is spacious and attractive with a nicely equipped kitchen. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of space for your "stuff." Lots of lovely pieces of his sculpting are whimsically placed indoors and out. Thank you Ralph and family for making our stay so pleasant.
