From our most recent guests:
"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"

"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."
