The moment we pulled up Joe happened to be outside and his greeting was so warm that I immediately felt like we were old friends. He pointed us to parking, showed us around the property, and made sure that we not only felt familiarized with the amenities but that we also knew that the goal was to have a relaxing, enjoyable time. He got us started on the right foot.

In addition, Joe is very warm, and has a great sense of humor. He showed us around his home, gave us the history of the property, and shared his ideas and goals for how he hopes to improve it over the year.

The space itself is also one of the most interested places I've stayed in the Bay Area, and in all of my stays with Airbnb. There's a palpable sense of history in the place and instruments that we could play! Joe provided us with beers from his brewery and we enjoyed a drink on the balcony overlooking the forest and the valley below. It's a truly interesting place.
