Joe's place is a stylish retreat in the busy city. His decorative touches leave tonnes of entertainment for your eyes while you sit in his well laid out space. After spending two weeks in hotels I was very impressed with the softness and comfort of the bed (and I normally dont say this!). Our dogs were welcomed with open arms, and so were we. Joe is amazingly attentive to his guests and is always ready with a restaurant or outing recommendation. Any questions we had were answered with the utmost promptness, and Joe never shyed away from trying to offer more. The area is accessible, and you are just a two minute walk from staring at the ocean and mountains. The area is so lovely in fact, we found an apartment a few minutes away! The patio is definitely the best part, and we enjoyed many nights sitting outside with a fire in our own private oasis. I would highly recommend a stay at The Alcove and with Joe, who I would say isnt just a super host but a *super nova host!
