This little place is well equipped, designed with flare, and extremely cozy! A great relaxing landing place for exploring the area. I was immediately soothed upon entry: mood lighting and a spa-like atmosphere were just what I needed. Little touches like coffee and snacks, along with the unique jetted shower, make for a really relaxing environment. Also, the hosts provided very thorough recommendations for restaurants, activities, etc. A great find in San Rafael!

The hosts were great with communication and offering to accommodate late check out when our flight got delayed an entire day. The room is gorgeous and very thoughtfully decorated. The shower was amazing. So amazing we actually ordered the shower tower for our bathroom during our stay. Bed was super comfy and the sheets and bedding were soft. Love that there’s a keurig with strong coffee, creamer, sugar, and even some Almond Roca syrup. Also loved the snacks that were provided. Overall, a great stay. Loved the area. Felt safe and it was quiet. We would definitely stay again.

Hosts were responsive to all questions that we had and were eager to assist. This was by far, the most memorable and beautiful VRBO that we have ever stayed at. When we come back to the San Francisco area, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for such a pleasant stay.
