we had a great stay. we were in town visiting family for the holidays. Plenty of room for two adults and a toddler. well stocked and clean. Nice patio on the front with sunshine. walking distance to food and groceries. Close to a main street that was a little loud but we didn't hear at all from inside. beds were comfortable. would stay again next time we visit.

Nice apartment near San Rafael

Four adults stayed comfortably in the upstairs apartment. Two full bathrooms and a roomy dining room were adequate. It was clean and well-stocked. Parking right in front was appreciated. The host was very responsive. Alexander Ave. is between San Rafael and San Anselmo. It's about a 15 minute walk to San Anselmo. Fairfax is another cute village nearby.

A cozy and tranquil retreat to relax and recharge!

I spent a week here recovering from surgery, and it was the perfect place for healing. The space is clean, airy, filled with natural light, and equipped with everything you might need. It’s also in a very convenient location, with markets and restaurants just a few minutes’ drive away. It truly exceeded all my expectations.When I needed to extend my stay by two nights, Dammith was incredibly kind and accommodating, even offering a generous discount. He is a genuinely compassionate host.I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming stay!
