Saying that Joe is a great host is a blunt understatement. He made us feel welcome in every way possible, made sure we were taken care of 24/7. The place is clean (!), warm, expertly decorated, well-stocked and so very quiet. The shared deck is simply...breathtaking. We were able to eat our dinner out there overlooking the sunset over Los Angeles. Overall it's hard to put our experience in words but I'm certain a home away from home doesn't get much better than this.
