'Living at 417 Marin Ave was not only a pleasure; it also gave us a wonderful sense of living in Mill Valley. We feel lucky to have discovered your lovely cottage and to have met both of you.' Stuart & Elyse, San Francisco (but now new homeowners in Mill Valley)
'Ann & Geoff, well 'tis time to go. We have enjoyed our stay here; in moving from England the apartment has proved a haven at the end of each frantic day. While searching for both a car and a house, the ability to use the printer you provided in connection with my lap top,was invaluable. When we arrived the apartment was so pristine we thought it had just been decorated and furnished. The decor was delightful,the bed comfortable and the kitchen facilities met all needs. In making such a move not everything goes as planned but the last 10 weeks having this apartment,together with your help and advice,has eased the journey. We wish you well.' Jane & Ian (England)
'417 Marin Avenue is billed as 'Your Home Away from Home', and I can only say that it does feel like home when I am there. It is commodious, comfortable, nicely furnished, and in a lovely and convenient setting. The owners, who are very pleasant and helpful, think of everything and then leave you to enjoy your privacy'.
Katharine, New York City and Sarasota, Florida (frequent guest)
'We found ourselves between homes for almost a three week period and took a flyer on renting at 417 Marin Avenue. We were looking for a quiet residential place to stay and wanted an alternative to a small hotel room. We found Ann and Geoff to be delightful. The premises at 417 Marin are clean, quiet and very centrally located in Marin. I highly recommend staying at 417 Marin for all the creature comforts'
Gary and Alison, Tiburon, California
'Our family of three rented this property from May 2008 through early February 2009 while we were looking to buy a house and all of our things were in storage. We couldn't have asked for a more ideal 'home away from home.' The furnished unit is well-appointed and fully-equipped. Ann has thought of everything from speedy internet connections, cable TV, great washer/dryer setup, anything you could need in the kitchen and more. The decor is smart, contemporary and comfortable. In fact, my son suggested that I get Ann to help with decorating. Provided bedding, towels, etc. were fresh and attractive. One very special aspect to the home is the garden areas. There is a beautifully landscaped front yard and the unit has an absolutely charming, private garden and patio area in back. During the good weather, we made full use of this lovely space. The location is very convenient to Tennessee Valley, shopping, the high school and highway 101. We settled right in and were in no hurry to leave. Our hosts could not be more attentive and helpful - they even put up outdoor holiday lights. This was easy living and we highly recommend it.'

Just wanted to let you know that we received the deposit check earlier this week and we certainly will keep 417 Marin Avenue in mind the next time we need a home in Mill Valley! The apartment was so nicely appointed and so comfortable! I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the great art selection, magazine collection, and beautiful flowers and garden. We both enjoyed the wine and being afforded the opportunity to put our feet up at the end of the day! You provided us with a quiet and peaceful abode, and for this we thank you!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

March 21-June 3, 2011 Thank you very much for an awesome, comfortable home away from home these past couple months! After being in a hotel in Vancouver for 2 months before coming to the Bay Area, this was a very welcome and relaxing place to come back to after a day of work. I sent your info to the folks at Skywalker Client Services, so when future shows come up here they'll include 417 Marin Avenue in their list. Thanks again, hope to see you in the fall!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owners Ann and Geoff provide a five-star accommodation where I felt like a visiting dignitary. No detail had been left to chance, down to q-tips in the bathroom! Everything is so clean and beautifully maintained that it feels as if the building was just completed and freshly furnished with top quality. Especially thoughtful reading selections and art are in place to make the Marin area familiar, as well as seen through various artists' eyes. Ann and Geoff are conveniently nearby, but I had the feeling I had my own home away from home. It is quiet, lushly landscaped and welcoming. My stay will be a fond memory.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Ann & Geoff, well 'tis time to go. We have enjoyed our stay here; in moving from England the apartment has proved a haven at the end of each frantic day. While searching for both a car and a house, the ability to use the printer you provided in connection with my lap top,was invaluable. When we arrived the apartment was so pristine we thought it had just been decorated and furnished. The decor was delightful,the bed comfortable and the kitchen facilities met all needs. In making such a move not everything goes as planned but the last 10 weeks having this apartment,together with your help and advice,has eased the journey.
