What a hidden Bay Area gem Valley View Sound Studio proved to be. Joe’s quirky space is AirBnB at its best — a place with history, natural beauty, warm hospitality and an amazingly attentive host. The musical instruments and recording studio equipment were fascinating to my hard-to-entertain teenage boys (I loved seeing my nonmusical sons experiment on the keyboard 🎹 and play on the sound pad). What a dream this would be for those with legit musical backgrounds! Little touches like extra-comfy beds, a huge monitor in the sound room (great to connect a Mac to for Netflix) and an excellent restaurant recommendation (Brown Sugar Kitchen) made our stay a delight. I highly recommend a stay at Valley View Sound Studio and look forward to visiting again.
