Perfect for a couple. Great location very close to Petaluma’s cute downtown. Clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all the essentials. Easy street parking (we had the same spot right out front every day of our stay). Perfect little outdoor seating area for morning coffee or evening wind down. Nice to have full cable TV lineup. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Great property! Quiet, clean, great kitchen and bath amenities, good wi-fi and TV service, comfortable bed, iron/ironing board. Location was perfect for my needs, owner very responsive. Loved sitting on the sofa and seeing only the green tops of the tall trees in back and on the side. Street parking was OK, occasionally had to park across the street but no big deal, really. Lockbox for entry was easy to access. I will definitely stay here again if I'm in town!

We loved it. This garage apartment is beautiful, well appointed and well supplied. It’s located in a wonderful neighborhood, and Petaluma itself has a lot to offer. From here, it’s an easy drive to the wine country around Sonoma and Napa and to Muir Woods. Communication with our host was great. We had a great visit in every way.

The hosts were very friendly and the Casita (above garage apartment) was enjoyable. Street parking is a little funky because of the angle of the pavement in places, but manageable. From the street you walk down the driveway and up a long set of sturdy wooden stairs behind the garage. Motion lights light the pathway at night. As for the interior, the furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped with cooking tools and eating utensils/dishes.

Very romantic hideaway

I would promote this as a romantic bungalow. The double jacuzzi with the candles, the fireplace, and the overall comfiness of the place. The full kitchen was stocked well. We totally enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
