Charming 2.5 bedroom 1 bath house with Heated floor, WiFi in peaceful San Rafael

Host was very kind and willing to help us when we arrived after dark and could not find the gate we were supposed to use. He worked to make our stay very pleasant.

When we arrived parking was available on the street right outside. The lockbox was easy to find and we got right in. There are 2 bedrooms with doors that close - one has a queen bed, the other a twin with a trundle. The space in the second bedroom wasn’t really enough to fit the trundle, but we moved it to the living room and that worked out fine.The kitchen could have a few more utensils, lacking tongs or a spatula, plenty of knives and coffee cups! Very cute old fashioned stove - instructions for use may need to be found on the internet. Brand new single cup coffee maker!There is a step up in the hallway to reach the bathroom it is NOT wheelchair friendly (luckily we didn’t have one). The light switches are in odd places - bathroom light switch is outside the room! The plumbing is old, the shower dripped the whole time we were there.There is also a large step down as you enter the apartment, the threshold is raised a bit outside as well.Great location, we walked to downtown San Rafael in less than 20 minutes. Don’t stay out too late or you may have to park your car 2 blocks away. No dedicated parking space. Just street parking.This VRBO met our needs and is in a great location. It is a basement apartment and there are upstairs neighbors - they were only up late one of the 2 nights of our stay.

I love, love, loved the decor specifically in the kitchen and bathroom. Very homey and nice stay. It’s within walking distance of a pretty park as well as restaurants and things to do. I loved it! It was perfect.

Michael was helpful from as soon as we arrived. The unit was very clean and had a private patio space for us to spend time outside. We enjoyed the the rustic but renewed vibe of the space. The old stove was a big hit with the family. His family was also very accommodating with our dog and high energy son.
