friendly neighborhood, parking very easy to find. roads are quite narrow so drive safely. joes place, as my husband would say is such a magical find! to get away from that city life! there is quite a climb too with stairs so be prepared for that but all in all we didn't mind it was a great workout and its so peaceful! of course you can tell it also was or maybe still is a personal living space too so be mindful at that. my family and I appreciate Joe and his family for hosting us!
