Great location for visiting both SF and Marin. Generous living room and dining room. The upstairs bedrooms and bath were closed off for our visit but the house could easily accommodate a family of 4 to 6. The kitchen came with all the appliances anyone needs. The furnishings of the other rooms a bit dated The best part of it all was the substantial and gorgeous landscaping.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location is superb and within walking distance to the Good Earth where there are all kinds of prepared organic food you can take “ to go” as well as - a coffee barista inside the store which makes for a nice morning stroll to get coffee. The property backs a small active kid/dog park. The neighborhood is very kid friendly and we enjoyed hearing the laughter. Since we have small dogs and it is important to us that the yard be fully and securely fenced-in and it was. There are sidewalks to walk your dog and the neighbors are friendly. The property is very close to many attractions such as: Muir Wood, Stinson Beach, San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge and all the quaint towns of Marin. One key thing for us was that the beds be comfortable and they were. Both bedrooms and living room had TV’s. The TV was easy to use. The living room has three oversized sofas. There’s an air conditioner that worked perfect. The dining room is spacious with a large table and view to back garden. The kitchen is also well-equipped with all you need. Washer/Dryer worked great! The bathroom is on the smaller side but adequate with a tub/shower combo set-up. The host was responsive via text and cared about our experience. It’s a nice country house within a stone’s throw to everything.
