About this property
Charming Mediterranean Guest House
1930 Modern Mediterranean with clean and clutter free design allows guest to settle in and make it their own.
The wood burning fireplace in the living room provides warmth and coziness after a long day checking out the local sites.
Private entrance, full kitchen, laundry, second floor patio, Juliette balcony off the primary, arched windows and doorways and original light fixtures and door handles provide a special experience here on G street.
20 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco in beautiful Marin County. We are on the way to wine country, 15 minutes to Rodeo Beach for surfing and trail hiking and biking or 10 minutes from Tiburon.
The space
It is a two story, owner occupied duplex. We are located on a quiet treelined street in a sought after neighborhood.
We are two blocks from Johnny Doughnuts for early coffee and sweets, dinner at The Kitchen Table or late night karaoke and trivia night at The Mayflower Pub.
Guest Access:
Guests have full, private access to the left side of the duplex.
Other things to note:
We cater to couples with little ones because we know first hand how hard it is to be in a one room hotel with a sleeping baby.
We provide a pack-n-play, bedding, baby bath, sound machine, black out curtains, bibs, flatware and sippy cups in hopes you can feel like you're on vacation too.
This mom of two boys and former nanny/preschool teacher is also happy to babysit if you need a night out.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Chamin

Ever since watching Newhart as a kid, I have wanted to host people in my home. Now that I have 30 years experience in hospitality and 17 years as a landlord, I'm ready to embark on a more personal "Guest House" rental project. Our owner occupied duplex is the perfect arrangement for me to provide a comfortable, private place for guests while also meeting their needs in a timely manner.
Why they chose this property
On a quite, treelined street, in a sought after family friendly neighborhood. We are two blocks from 4th street with shops, restaurants, bars and public transportation which makes it the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Our property has original design elements of a 1930's Mediterranean with arch ways and windows and original light fixtures, door knobs and hardwood throughout. We made recent updates by installing fiber optic high speed internet and a brand new efficient, heating system. The furnishings are modern, clean and clutter free so guests can make it their own.
