Anne was not there to greet us in person, but our stay exemplified hospitality in every way. My wife and I felt relaxed the moment we got inside. We appreciated the nice couches, the large washer and dryer, and the well-supplied kitchen. The kids (4 and 1 y.o.) enjoyed the books, games, and large basket of Lincoln logs in the living room. At night, I noticed that the bedding did not cause me to feel allergic, which is a bit unusual in other people's houses — this place is apparently more than superficially clean. I don't know how many people Anne could have counted on to notice the difference, but I was certainly grateful for many a good night's rest. In our 4 days there, we saw the aquarium, Point Lobos, Elkhorn Slough, and many local beaches. The house was a very convenient distance to all of these things.
