Tranquil Loft with Private Deck

EdwardRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My partner and I booked a stay here for 3 weeks. Highly recommend. There are multiple reasons why. The loft has huge windows which lets in a lot of sunlight, and has wonderful views into the treetops and beautiful hills surround San Anselmo. The off-street parking was great peace of mind to have for our rental car. The loft opens onto a huge deck that has chairs and tables to relax in, drink coffee, read etc. A fantastic grocery store called Good Earth is nearby. The neighborhood is lovely to walk around in (and of course close to many great hikes and trails). Internet was reliable and fast enough for remote work calls. If you happen to need to do laundry, a clean and friendly laundromat is 2min drive away. Very easy. Importantly, Sabrina was a very responsive and kind host, and very respectful of privacy and friendly/welcoming at the same time. We would stay again!
