"This was a good place to stay in the Gerstle Park neighborhood. It is a spacious and comfortable place. It was good for our dogs as well. We enjoyed our time here, and communication with the host was clear. Thanks!"

Simply marvelous 2 bedroom with kitchenette, grilling patio and grand balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely view - drinking coffee on the good sized balcony felt like I was up in a tree house amidst the greenery. In reality you are less than a mile walk down hill to the vibrant San Rafael Downtown. The host responded quickly when I had walking direction questions. The shower was a dream. The bed was very comfortable and I had lots of room to make myself at home. Street parking was easy during the day but a bit challenging coming home after evening outings. I would totally come back next time I’m seeing friends in Marin easy to navigate to from the freeway."

Location! Private Cottage, Quiet, Garden, Walk downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly as described, would definitely stay again."
