I was in town for a conference at Asilomar, and had a lovely time staying 2 nights at Dee's house. It is convenient to the conference grounds, and only a short way from town. The studio is spacious and comfortable, with a mostly private entrance. I didn't feel like I was sharing a house at all, and found it to be very quiet. The Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary is adjacent to Dee's property, which was amazing!
