We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, historic home over the Christmas holidays. The house has great character and charm, and its location is ideal as it just a short walk to the downtown area with shops, restaurants and local attractions.Our host, Frank, was terrific. He was responsive, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Additionally, he provided us with welcome snacks!

This property was in an amazing location to downtown Petaluma. The host left a kind gift for us and check-in was a breeze. My only cautions are that you are actually sharing the house with people who live downstairs, thus limiting your privacy. The entire living space is up a steep flight of stairs and the temperature was quite uncomfortable although there is a stand alone air conditioner in the master bedroom. There are no black out shades in the master, so be prepared for the sun to awaken you before 6:00 AM. The temperature inside the space in the afternoons was very uncomfortable, but evenings and mornings are nice and cool with the windows open.
