Oleander House

My sister and I spend a perfectly enjoyable weekend at Oleander House! It was just the restful time we were looking for. We felt very pampered and catered to by our gracious hostess in peaceful and tastefully decorated surroundings. Thank you Kathleen! We will be back!

Our host was wonderful, breakfast was wonderful, the garden is beautiful. Our room was right off the main entrance and a bit noisy at times but we enjoyed having our own private patio and entrance. We thought our stay was a bit pricey, but so is everything in Napa. The only thing that could have made it any better would be having the option to enjoy breakfast alone outside on our patio. Thanks for the lovely stay!

This was a really great B&B that was truly what we wanted for our anniversary weekend. Charming and quaint. Homemade breakfast every morning. Comfy beds. You can't ask for a more lovely host too. Many thanks.

Great breakfast and great location near restaurants and wineries.

Oleander House is in an ideal location. The accommodations are top notch and reasonably priced. The breakfasts are out of this world. You will find none better . Kathleen is very helpful knowledgable about the area.

We stayed in the Summer Room and had an excellent time. Beautiful accommodation and great breakfast freshly made by Kathleen, the helpful host. The Oleander House is perfectly located, just north of Yountville. I would highly recommend this place for any romantic getaway. Jan and Erica, March 2012

Our hostess was particularly welcoming, accommodating and communicative.

This was our third stay at Oleander House and we have already booked 2 more for this year! Kathleen is a wonderful host, providing yummy breakfasts, information about the valley and much more! This is the perfect location for proximity to great dining and shopping. We love it! Hartmans

Our stay at Oleander House was wonderful. We found the pace, the rooms, and the hospitality to add relaxation and peace to our stay in the Napa Valley. Kathleen is a great hostess, and very happy to help you navigate the area with ease. We are frequent visitors to this area, and highly recommend Oleander House.

My girl friend and I had a great time at Oleander House - Kathleen was a wonderful host, the location was excellent, the breakfasts were very tasty, and the room was great. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

This was our second visit to Oleander House and it was superb! I recommend it to anyone going to wine country. The location is perfect. It would be worth a visit just for breakfast!

The bed was divine. The food looked amazing. The host was very gracious. Sadly I was there on business and only slept there. We raced out early in the morning and returned late at night. Nice little extras like fabulous robes and great sheets and comforters. I would love to return on vacation and stay at Oleander House again. PS - if you love dogs the host will introduce you to the lovely Maxie.

Spent a long weekend in Wine Country with my girlfriend. Kathleen was great!

Pros: Location: short drive to amazing dining, shopping, spas and wineries. Next door is a lovely winery and next door to that is an amazing restaurant called Mustards! Inn: four spacious rooms upstairs, each with private balcony and fireplace. Our room had large jetted tub. One small room downstairs with large private patio. Real bonus... a large outdoor hot tub tucked away for any guest to use. The night air and starry night was perfect for the two of us to enjoy after a long day of exploring Napa! Breakfast: Kathleen, the owner is an amazing cook and hostess. We looked forward to a delicious breakfast each morning at 9am. You wond be disappointed!! Value: We stayed mid October 2011 and our room was only 225 per night. Considering the cost of other places in the area, we felt we made the right choice. Cons: it would be nice to have the carpet removed on the stairs,...maybe revealing some beautiful oak wood floors under? The street noise was more than I was comfortable with for sleeping, but I am a light sleeper to start. The weather was perfect to have the windows and French doors to the pation open. The room comes with a set of earplugs, so that helped! We highly recommend this Inn if you are in the area and want privacy, cozy, and a value too.

the rooms were exceptionally clean, spacious and bright. the breakfast was delicious and i found it quite nice to sit with the other guests and chat. there's also a nice lounge area outside the rooms in which to hang out and socialize. there's a small fridge in the lounge area with water and drinks and there was always a cake or some cookies to snack on too. i would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

great hosipitality and quick and appropriate guidance for whatever we need.

Great location within minutes from the wineries. The hostess extremely helpful with everything. Loved the homemade breakfast.

Just returned from a week in Napa and wish we never had to leave! Oleander House has wonderfully comfortable accommodations, great beds and spacious rooms. Kathleen is a super hostess and her breakfasts are to die for. "Creme brulee oatmeal - WOW! The B&B's location made it perfect for us to tour both Napa and Sonoma wineries, no need to relocate anywhere. . . . Also close to all the Yountville dining gems. What more could you ask for in a vacation spot?

During our Napa Valley visit, we stayed at a major hotel in SF, the Oleander House B&B, and a major resort, and the Oleander House was the best of all. It was beautiful, the breakfasts were the best ever, and Kathleen, the innkeeper, was delightful. She helped us make a reservation for a winery we wanted to visit, and she recommended several other wineries and restaurants that we visited and also loved. The hot tub topped it all off!

Outstanding B&B, great location, clean, reasonable price, great food, great owner, no more to say

Ovberall a very nice place with personal touch. I hoped for walking distance to Yountville but this is not the case - not their fault of course. Some rooms facing the highway will experience some noice. Would come again!

Very comfortable and friendly B&B. Absolutely, no complaints. I slept the best I have in weeks! It's on the very busy hwy 29, but feels like the country with many garden settings.

The Oleander House was a great place to stay, centrally located and away from the busy traffic of St. Helena. The B&B was perfect with a cozy, homey feel with nice common areas like the lounge and dining room. There is even a fridge for guests to store wine, cheese, beer etc. Kathleen is a wonderful hostess and excellent chef, as mentioned on their website, the breakfast is not to be missed!

Nice stay. Great room and the hospitality made us feel right at home.

A 4 night girls' weekend in Kathleen's wonderful paradise of a home. The hostess and her daily breakfast surprises were a great start to busy days. Great locations, comfortable accommodations, quiet garden setting with hot tub, balconies overlooking the grounds. The only complaint was a nagging rooster which is actually a better alarm clock than loud music or a ringing buzzer. Will come again.

My friends and I traveled to Napa for a long weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday. Oleander House is in the heart of Napa Valley, is surrounded by some of the best vineyards and restaurants and Kathleen is an absolute gem! She truly has the gift of hospitality and loves what she does! The breakfasts were wonderderful, the grounds were beautiful and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. We all had a blast and plan to visit again....maybe for my 41st birthday!!

The rooms were so nice and private. I had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, so I didn't really know if I would like it . I loved it. Kathleen was like having our own personel tour guide. She made sure we never got lost, so that we could enjoy every minute we had in Nappa. The breakfast was out of this world. We left with every recipe. I will stay with Kathleen when I return to Nappa.

I just returned from a 3 night trip to Napa for a wine tasting 40th birthday girls trip! All I can say is WOW. Everything at the Oleander House was fantastic! Best of all was our inn keeper/owner Kathleen! She was a never ending source of information about where to tour, dine, shop, etc! Our group had 3 rooms upstairs and it was perfect! The rooms were super clean, very comfortable and the bedding was great with lots of homey touches! Each morning we had coffee upstairs which was a nice touch. The breakfasts each morning were AMAZING and we all brought home recipes (ask for the Oatmeal Brulee!) Max the adorable standard poodle was a fun addition! Complimentary champagne was a fun way to kick off our stay! Be sure to bring a bathing suit for the hot tub! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Genevieve Primos, Atlanta GA

Very nice stay. Peaceful, quiet, tranquil... Breakfasts were wonderful. Kathleen is an excellent host! We will be back. Z, Lafayette, LA

Immaculate rooms, delicious breakfast, wonderful innkeeper Kathy, couldn't ask for more, and will be back!

Very friendly B&B owner who was helpful. Room was ok but a bit pricey (so is the entire area, so it is probably on par with that). It is a bit on the noisy side but they do offer earplugs in the room for you as it is on a busy road. You must eat at the assigned time which is a drawback if it does not fit into your time table and on vacation, who wants a timetable that must be met!

With vineyards surrounding and two excellent restaurants located literally next door, the location can't be matched at the price. Exceptional rooms, beautiful garden, friendly service & hospitality. All guests sit together each breakfast; sharing travel & tasting highlights which make this B&B feel more like a visit with friends or relatives.

Great breakfast and very helpful and accommodating innkeeper. I'd stay there again - very pleased!

Kathleen of Oleander House was a wonderful host who provided very helpful information about the Napa Valley. The breakfasts were amazing, very creative and wonderfully tasty.Our room on the second floor was spacious and very comfortable. I would love to stay there again.

You could not ask for a better location! Nestled right off St Helena Hwy in between Napa and St Helena with top wineries within 5 minutes! Kathleen, the owner and innkeeper, is friendly and accommodating and her culinary skills are out of this world! There is fantastic cuisine in the Napa area but her breakfasts that she provides everyday at 9am can't be beat. Everything is farm to table and beautifully prepared! The rooms are charming, clean, and decorated beautifully and you could not ask for more plush, comfortable beds and linens. We stayed in a Sunset room and it was quiet and cozy. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area!

Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Great towels. Hearty breakfast each morning with fellow guests and the Innkeeper. Excellent location.

This was our belated honeymoon! The gardens were beautiful and the rosemary and lavender bushes filled the air. Kathleen, the owner of the Inn, greated us at the door and gave us a welcoming tour of our room and everything we needed to know the minute we arrived. Like other reviews mentioned, the room was a perfect country inn-type room. Four poster, Queen-size, down covered wonderful bed, sittng and lounging area, desk, Jacuzzi tub, fireplace - just wonderful. The highlight of this inn is Kathleen who is unbelievably knowledgeable and warm (her fabulous poodle, Max, is an additional treat). We had lived here for a year two years ago and knew quite a lot for our time here and she gave us tips and areas to visit that were all new to us. Don't miss The Pearl in downtown Napa - for us it was the best meal of our stay and we've eaten at them all - except French Laundry. (Read my review about The Pearl). Kathleen is a superb cook and host. Our first morning's breakfast consisted of creme brulee oatmeal covered with fresh blueberries and strawberries and apple sausage, fresh orange juice and more fruit. She even has copies of the recipes because so many people ask her for them. Today, it was a quiche with tropical muffins, fresh fruit and home made sausages. She'll sit at the table with the guest and gets the conversation going among the guests. I felt like I was home - only with absolutely fabulous food. I cannot say enough about the Oleander House and Garden and Kathleen!

Great place to stay. I would go back. Wonderful food, great variety with new multiple choices each day. Fresh fruit, eggs, fresh backed goodies and plenty of them. Also a nice mix of guests made for great conversations.

The House was beautiful and the Inn-keeper pleasant and knowledgeable. Would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was fabulous!

The Oleander House has beautiful grounds, GREAT restaurants and vineyards just down the road, and a friendly/ knowledgeable innkeeper- Kathleen. Kathleen's breakfasts are to-die for and you can tell that she is dedicated to her business and the area. We stayed in The Summer Room and the bed felt like we were sleeping on a fluffy cloud...! Also, private, nice balcony and bathroom. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

The bed & breakfast is located in the middle of the wineries. Two wineries(Folie à deux & Constentino) are in walking distances from Oleander House. You can also walk to the well rated Mustard Seed restaurant. During our stay, we have also appreciated the kind attentions left in the guest living room (wine glass, cookies, chocolates, sodas, etc.) It helped to feel at home. At Oleander House, you can also enjoy a nice hot tub after a wine testing day. And finally, the good & substantial breakfast will prepare you for your wine tasting day. I would definitly recommend to my family.

Just down the street from Yountville and surrounding wineries including Robert Mondavi and Chandon. There's a nice walking/bicycling path across the street with wild berries growing on the side of the road; some great restaurants close by. A friendly host; happy we stayed here.

Beautiful grounds and great amenities. Laid back feel with comfortable rooms filled with unique furniture! We had a great time!

The Oleander House is in a great location with easy access to many many wineries. Room was great and breakfast was even better. The hot tub is nice after a long day of tastings!

Right next door to Mustard's Grill. Breakfasts are amazing! Hostess is charming and friendly. Patio outside our room could use a few plantings and more comfortable furniture to make it fully inviting, but the room was great.

The Inn was beautiful and Kathleens breakfast were amazing! I would highly recommend this outstanding place to anyone who loves B&Bs! Its very close to all the Napa winerys. What an amazing week I had. Thank you Katleen and John!! Liz In SArasota, Florida

Kathleen is a charming hostess. Oleander House is beautifully kept and is a pleasure to visit. We look forward to a return. Sara and Fred Jackson

Everything about Oleander House was just right...the luxurious bed, the world-class breakfast, the gracious owner/hostess, her gorgeous and extroverted standard poodle, the thoughtful amenities, and the inn's location, exactly two doors down from Mustard's Grill. We'd definitely stay there again should we return to Napa.

The location of Oleander to Napa wine country can't be beat, and Kathleen served us excellent breakfasts and gave us plenty of good advice about where to go and what to do. If you want a reasonably priced B&B near Yountville, this is the place!

The Oleander House was conveniently located between all of the towns in the Valley with easy access to great restaurants and smack in between all the wineries, also just minutes away from the Silverado trail. The House had beautifully manicured gardens with roses and all sorts of plants/flowers local to the area. Right next door (walking distance) are both Mustard's Grill and Brix, both great restaurants (Brix over Mustard's by far). The Inn and individual rooms were incredibly clean and very charming--we literally felt right at home. We have stayed in many 5-star hotels/resorts/B&B's around the world, and we have never felt so comfortable thanks to Kathleen's (the innkeeper) hospitality and I cannot go without mentioning how incredibly comfortable the beds and sheets were--so comfortable in fact that I just had to get the brand information so I can buy my own at home! Breakfast, which was made from scratch by Kathleen every morning, was out of this world delicious with very unique dishes and lots of variety. Speaking of Kathleen, she was the best host we could've asked for--she really made our trip to Napa all the more special and enjoyable. My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary, and we can easily say we made the best choice in the Valley by choosing to stay at the Oleander House. There is no doubt we will be staying there again and we will even bring our friends and families for repeat visits. Prior to our visit, I had read reviews that complained about the noise from 29 which is the main 2-lane road that goes through the Valley. I am a very light sleeper and had no problems whatsoever with noise and our room was located at the front of the house. My only complaint is that our trip ended and we had to leave! Fortunately, we will be back again, and again.

A great location, clean rooms with charm. The Innkeeper Kathleen is hospitable, helpfull and a great cook!

Beautiful accommodations, and delicious food! Location is great!

The Oleander House is located in the heart of the Napa Valley, close to everything. The room we stayed in was very large and had a romantic fireplace. The hosts were very warm and made us feel right at home during our anniversay stay.

Staying at the Oleander House was a delightful experience; the setting is lovely, our room and the common space superb, and Kathleen is an absolute wonder. She is warm and incredibly friendly, plus hugely knowledgeable about the area. Her breakfasts are magnificent, and will last you all day long. This is a WONDERFUL place to stay in Napa!

Oleander House is wonderful. Its in a perfect location in the wine country and the hostess is so friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed a beautiful chicken hash breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade cinamon raisin bread. It was a perfect hearty meal to get us through our busy day. I would highly recomend this B&B for anyone heading to wine country.

Service was outstanding. Besides making us feel at home, they also made dining recommendations and made dinner reservations for us. We will stay here again if we are in the Napa valley.

A charming, well-located inn with outstanding breakfast and wonderful rooms! The innkeeper is fun to talk with and has a great standard Poodle, Max! Andrea Williams

Kathleen was a wonderful host, the rooms were fantastic, and the hot tub a welcome relief at the end of a day touring wineries. And as many others have commented, the breakfast is to die for.

We stayed in the Garden room at the Oleander House. It was lovely. Breakfast was very tasty, it had a nice personal touch (not like those continental breakfasts at large hotels). Very clean and comfy. We had our own entrance out to the patio and hot tub. Its a hop, skip, and a jump away from Mustards Grill (fantastic restaurant). I would stay there again.

Kathleen is an amazing cook - you are so ready for breakfast and can't wait to see what she has made.

We stayed in a sunset room with our own private balcony away from the street. There was a hot tub and patio out back and a working fireplace in each bedroom. The home was absolutely gorgeous and CLEAN! Exceeded all of our expectations. Ample parking and VERY close to shops and popular vineyards. The breakfast was to die for, every morning a different variety of mouth watering dishes. The bed was a dream. There was a refrigerator for use as well, stocked with soda and adult beverages. We are looking forward to planning a special trip to Napa again and staying at the Oleander House. We highly recommend our friends and family to this location. -Venessa and Matt

Finally. A b&b that not only lived up to, but exceeded my expectations. Cozy, clean, warm, and inviting, and a friendly owner with boundless energy. The food was exceptional. Would you believe oatmeal with creme brûlée topping and fresh berries? Home baked breads and pastries? I'm ready to go back for more pampering.

We've been going to the Oleander House for 14 years. Kathleen is a fantastic hostess and if you want to know anything about the Napa Valley, she has the scoop! Her breakfasts are superb. The house is decorated beautifully, cozy and warm. And the price is reasonable, compared to others. We recommend it to anyone planning a trip to the Napa Valley.

My husband and I stayed overnight at Oleander House last week and were thrilled with everything. She was accomodating of our not eating meat, offered dinner reservations, and everything in the room was clean and we felt very safe. I would certainly stay here again!

We stayed for 4 nights and the breakfast was the best! Our rooms were cleaned everyday, new towels etc..

Our recent stay at the Oleander House was spectacular. Our room was perfect as were the wonderful amenities. I cannot say enough about Kathleen's gourmet breakfasts every morning. We honestly didn't want to leave. I highly recommend the Oleander House and look forward to our next stay. Thank you Kathleen for your hospitality, expert knowledge of the area and interesting tableside conversations during breakfast.

Location is perfect, the food fantastic and the room beautiful. You can walk to Mustards, and Yountville is minutes away. The best place I have stayed in Napa to date. Would recommend to all.

We had a wonderful stay at Oleander House and look forward to visiting again in the future! Our room was comfy and our breakfast was delicious. Kathleen planned a lovely driving and winery tour for us throughout the valley.

The Oleander House is a charming B & B in the heart of Napa/Yountville - next door to Mustard's and close to the Keller and Chiarello franchises. The view across the street is of a new vineyard. Kathleen (the owner) is extremely helpful with directions and suggestions and she is a fabulous cook! We had a great time and plan on staying here during our next visit.

What a lovely find in wine country. Kathleen, the owner, is gracious and made our stay fabulous. Would definitely stay there again.

A lovely, well-priced B&B close to the gourmet haunt of Yountville... I would suggest requesting a room facing the back of the house, as in those facing the street we could hear some of the traffic (although the owners happily provide earplugs!). We will definitely return.

A very inviting place to stay and very convenient location. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of stay. Breakfast was delicious and so were the macaroons that were baking upon arrival! The summer room was plenty spacious and didn't feel cramped like other B&B's I've stayed at in the past. I highly recommend Oleander. -Kevin

Nice large comfortable room, did not expect the fireplace, the brandy and the balcony.

Great place to stay - small and intimate. We joined 2 other couples for a terrific weekend break in Napa. Oleander House has a great location close to wineries, restaurants and shops...and Kathleen (the owner) was terrific. Highly recommended. This was our second stay there and we plan to make this weekend away with friends staying at the Oleander House an annual event.

Wonderful location, beautiful rooms, excellent hostess, and delicious breakfast. What more do we need? Thank you, Kathleen, and all the best to you for the future. Happy Holidays, the Ho's & Joneses.

This is a very reasonably priced B&B with the best Breakfast. The owner and staff are very accommodating and pleasant. Prior to your visit they are happy to make dinner reservations and schedule "by appointment only" wine tours. It is in an ideal location to explore food and wine.

We stayed four nights in November. Threre was a different full breakfast each morning. The room was quiet and comfortable. The location is convenient for visiting all of Napa Valley.

Great breakfast and helpful advice for exploring napa & Sonoma. Good value and friendly. Thank you

The accomodations were wonderful, and the breakfast was outstanding (I can't wait to make the recipe myself!). Kathleen was an exceptional host and took care of every detail. Loved it!

We stayed one night at the Oleander house and loved it! We got a warm welcome and I was amazed by our room - beautiful, very comfortable and large. We used the hot tub in the garden, which we enjoyed a lot after a day of activity. The breakfast was another highlight. Even though this B&B is located at the highway, the rooms were very very quiet. The location is also very convenient to explore Napa Valley. We highly recommend to stay there if you get a chance.

Home from home, with a hostess that any 7 star hotel would love to have looking after their guests!!! Kathleen's passion and knowledge of the Napa Valley made our short stay one to remember!! The bed was so comfy and needed after a long drive!! Thanks again, Mick & Sarah, York, England.

We were spending one night in the Napa Valley and wanted to dine at Mustards Grill, so were looking for a B & B near the restaurant. Found the Oleander House, which is all of 800 feet from Mustards Grill. What a great find with reasonable rates. Nestled back away from the Highway, it is a charming Bed & Breakfast. Kathleen is the most gracious host, the room was large and clean, and she does a great breakfast. We highly recommend Oleander House if you are staying in Yountville.

We have been visiting the Napa Valley since 1984, at least 2-3 times a year. Kathleen's home is one of the best all around that we've stayed in. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, a little noise from winery next door but they were in production so we were not surprised by that. Kathleen's breakfasts are yummy and creative and she shares her recipes! We thoroughtly enjoyed out visit, Kathleen's hints about the valley and her wonderful hospitality. We felt at home the moment we walked in. Already booked for our next trip!

Not often staying in a B & B, accustomed to frequent high-end hotel travel, Oleander B & B exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect, accommodations excellent (we had a sunset room), delicious breakfast, and Kathleen, the owner, could not have been friendlier and more helpful. My husband and I would come back again, thank you!!!

Kathleen is a lovely hostess & very friendly & accommodating. We enjoyed our stay with her.

After reading the reviews here, I was interested in verifying two things: 1] that the rooms away from the highway were an advantage for the light sleeper, and 2] a faint smoke smell some people complained about. #1 turned out to be true. For a light sleeper such as myself, the "Sunset" rooms are a must. I use earplugs every night anyway, and when we came back the next day after being out, the housekeeper had thoughtfully left 2 clean pairs. During sleep, I was not bothered by car noises. The beds are all Queens, and our room was rather large. I suggest they upgrade to Kings, when they can. There's plenty of room for a King in the room we had. #2 was confirmed by noting the inn-keeper herself, smokes (probably outside). Also our room had an ashtray on the balcony table. I had not even thought to ask if the inn was non-smoking. That said, the room did not "seem" to have been smoked in, but I could, on occasion, catch a stale whiff of cigarette smoke while in our room or the hall to the hot-tub, that I could not pin down the source for. Smokers, themselves, never seem to notice this kind of thing, but for a non-smoker it can be a serious deterrent. The shower had an adjustable head that needs repair, adjusting the lever back and forth simply gave a loose gush, or a slightly tighter gush of water, but no spray. Plenty hot though. The other patrons were friendly at breakfast and breakfast was fine. Me being a coffee snob, I would suggest fresher beans. The hot-tub and the extra rich and fuzzy bathrobes were the highlight for us--the tub was hot, modern, good controls and not over-chlorinated. Might stay there again, but would shop around a bit more, first. The location is very good and the price reflects not being in central St. Helena, which can be very pricey, but is only 10 minutes down the road and costs much more.

I've stayed in several fine hotels and beachfront inns but have never had such a comfortable stay. The large room, wonderful comfy bed, fine linens and down comforter along with the down chaise and romantic fireplace was perfect for a special get-a-way. Kathleen was a gracious host, friendly and full of great tips on the area. (If you want a balloon ride, I can recommend her husband John. He is a masterful pilot. )The breakfasts were to die for. I felt so special, you will too.

My now husband and I stayed at the Oleander House for 2 nights in April 2007. We had a wonderful time! Kathleen was very hospitable and her breakfasts were amazing! She directed us to some great off the beaten path wineries and the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day of wine tasting! Perfect location for wine country and WALK next door to the famous Mustards grill! Great visit!

We spent two nights in late June 08. We found Oleander House to be above average in accomodations and service. The breakfast was wonderful and much more than we normally find at B&Bs we stay at. It is located right on Hwy 29 so there is traffic noise but the rooms are well insulated from the noise and it did not affect our stay at all. Actually its location is excellent for visiting wineries on 29 or Silverado Trail and others. Not far from Yountville's many excellent eateries and shops. We would use it again without a doubt.

For us, this was a perfect Napa Valley location, in the heart of wineries & restaurants. House & grounds were lovely, Kathleen was so friendly & accomodating, & breakfasts were outstanding. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
