Joe’s place is a peaceful sanctuary up in the hills near Oakland. It was a comfortable place to spend a few quiet days away from the city.
Joe himself is a very friendly and responsive host. His family lives on the same property a floor above the private studio and he personally greeted us the night we arrived along with his sweet dog Sophia.
As others have already commented, the street parking is quite tricky as the streets are narrow and the spots limited. Also, if you can, definitely check out his restaurant (walking distance from his place) - the food, drinks and Joe’s hospitality are unrivaled.
