Besides being VERY tiny, it was very well equipped. I was surprised how much function the tiny kitchenette had. It met our needs for the two nights we spend there. We had a great day in Napa country from this location. Great restaurants downtown.

Cute and Cozy

Loved our stay at Fair Street Retreat! The apartment was clean, kitchenette well stocked and communication with host was super easy. Loved the location, it was quiet, yet close to downtown. Really appreciated being able to bring our small dog, so much more convenient than a hotel.

Great stay the Fair Street Retreat!

We enjoyed our stay at this property in a lovely area of Petaluma, just a short walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants. The owners courteously kept us informed about anything we needed to know during our stay. The studio was cozy and well appointed and included games, snacks other extras. We highly recommend this property.

We had a great time and would come again. Location is everything with this beautiful Victorian house in the historic neighborhood. Just a short walk away from beautiful old town Petaluma, and you can enjoy it with your dog! It’s quiet, relaxing and comfortable, like staying in a friend’s guest suite. One note – there is a kitchenette with only a small food prep area, I mention this because in the VRBO listing it does say “kitchen” several times and it was confusing. It had all we needed though: small fridge, kettle, Nespresso style coffee maker, dishes and a small microwave. You won’t need to eat in though, as you are just a few blocks away from great food, early morning coffee, sourdough bagels and the !Amazing! Petaluma Market.
