I had a wonderful experience at Doug's house. I arrived and found some fresh eggs left for my use. In addition the space was exactly as depicted in his photos. Very relaxing and comfortable. I was in town for a conference and this was a welcome respite from a full day in meetings. I did have some occasions where some reading was required, most of the lighting in the home is more mood based and not as bright as I prefer, but this was easily rectified with a lamp from Target. Doug was a great host and I would certainly recommend his home to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing place that is still close to everything you might want to do. And the reviews of the stereo are all correct, great sound!
