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!

Overall the house was wonderful. Plenty of room for 3 elderly adults. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare food. The outdoor motion detecting lights were very convenient at night. The heating system & the wifi worked perfectly. Suggestions for the host: Don't wait until the last minute to inform guests of the entry code. Grab bars needed in both bathrooms. All the rugs need rubber backing to keep them from sliding.
