Suite was amazing and so beautiful! When we arrived, soothing and welcoming music was playing on the televisions along with a beautiful waterfall screensaver. Beautiful and quiet area. Hosts were responsive to all questions that we had and were eager to assist. This was by far, the most memorable and beautiful VRBO that we have ever stayed at. When we come back to the San Francisco area, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for such a pleasant stay.

we love this property! We started staying here when Steve had one Suitte and then two suites and watched him talk about having washing machines and dryers. Our son and his family live a few blocks away, so we love staying here. The rooms are really cool with a real flare for design. The washing machine and dryer, refrigerator, stove with oven, beautiful cabinets, fully equipped with utensils, pots, and pans, storage containers, as well as a wide selection of herbs and spices. Eugene supplied all the coffee I could drink, which is a lot! I would leave a message for Eugene for Kleenex, toilet paper, coffee – – anything – – and Eugene would have it at our front door faster than you could blink an eye. The parking area is easy to access and enough room for three cars. We will be staying here for Thanksgiving and most likely for our granddaughter’s graduation from Marin Academy. I love the easy access to the hiking trails as well as shopping and food services. I can’t speak highly enough for this property and the host.

Excellent Napa Suite Stay

We loved the Napa Suite so much. The hosts thought of everything to make your accommodations so comfortable. The bed was so comfortable, loved having air conditioning, the perfect shower, I loved having the air purifiers. There were no weird smells. The kitchen was extra nice. Having the W/D was ideal. The suite was our happy place and when we opened the door every time we walked in we said Hi Happy House. Every detail was perfectly thought out for your comfort. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you Eugene and Natalie for caring about your guests. Grateful.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. It was comfortable, extremely clean, the decor was so charming. The location was ideal: great for hiking, walking distance to the market and casual dining, and for us, a few blocks away from family we were visiting. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Glam little home base

My partner and I were quite comfortable in this Terra Linda converted space, downstairs of the owners main house. As others have noted, it is fully equipped for needs and comforts. Very kind and considerately done! And if you're into remotes, you'll find the various customizable lights, 2 fireplaces and 2 tvs amusing and playful. We enjoyed being near my former Marin home and forever dear friends, with easy access to so much via Hwy 101.

This property has been beautifully updated and has every convenience. Private from others and quiet. Lacking just a few essentials like shower soap and an extra towel. No door on the bathroom but there is a barn door for the water closet that doesn't close completely. I would definitely stay here again.
