We had a great time here! The backyard was lovely- we enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit, and the string lights were a nice touch. Joseph was very easy to communicate with. We had plenty of space, found everything we needed, and loved the peaceful location!

About the host
Hosted by Joseph Mendes
I'm a Bay Area local growing up in the East Bay, specifically Martinez. I met my wife at a junior college. My wife grew up in Athens, Greece where we try to visit frequently thus there is a strong "mediterrean / Greek" influence in our home. Welcome to our home! Καλώς ήρθατε στο σπίτι μας!!
