This was my first stay with Don & Christine, but it won't be my last. The studio is located in a beautiful and peaceful area in the hills just outside Los Gates, with easy access to the town and also the greater metropolitan area. I used an Uber and never had a problem. Everything that others have said about the hospitality of these hosts is true -- Christine helped me out with quite useful recommendations for dining and excursions in the area, and she prepared a lovely breakfast basket, which, I think, Don delivered every morning. The studio, which opens up onto a lovely, flower-lined deck facing the redwoods, is itself is quite spacious (I was on my own) and stocked with every amenity. The space was exceptionally clean and well maintained. When Don and Christine appeared upon my arrival to help me carry my embarrassingly large valise up the stairs, I knew I had come to a special place.
