Guest suite in San Quentin
Unique, artistic retreat space along the Bay
Private room, private bathroom, private entrance. Single occupancy. No kitchen access. Large room with vaulted ceilings at the back of my Victorian home, newly renovated with Mexican traditional tile and maximal natural light. If you want a quiet retreat setting on a longer journey, or are simply passing through for work and need easy access to the throughways in all directions, this is a perfect Marin rest stop. Located across the street from the Bay with stunning views, beach access close by.

Apartment in San Rafael
Modern, comfortable Apartment, in a great location
This modern Apartment in the hills of San Rafael is a total gem. If the spacious and well equipped modern kitchen doesn't sell you. Then the super comfortable bed will. With its own private and enclosed garden space. This clean and modern airbnb is super comfortable. There are shared access to washing facilities. This is a very quiet neighborhood apartment, but only a 10 minute walk away from downtown San Rafael. 25 minutes from San Francisco and Sonoma too. We do live above.
