This is a very nice apartment. It has a huge window in the living room looking out into the bay. You do have businesses and a highway between you and the water, but your view is really nice. Night is even better with all the lights of the city and bridges. There is a highway a few blocks away, but you don’t really hear it.
There is really only one bed in the apartment. I guess the couches could be used for sleeping maybe, if you had pillows and blankets. The one bed is nice and provided a good nights sleep. There is a window in the bedroom with a nice view as well. There is a door out of the bedroom that leads to a balcony, but since it was rainy a lot I didn’t go out there. There are closets, but some of them are kind of unique because this is an attic apartment.
This apartment really did have a complete makeover. The kitchen is nice, but it could use some more stuff like knives, spatulas, etc. to make it more usable. There is a nice breakfast bar and plenty of counter space. It’s all laid out nicely, and well lit. The whole apartment has great lighting, but there are a lot of switches that might need to be labeled.
I was recovering from a surgery, so I was in a lot. As such, the TV is really nice and large. It’s a smart tv, so you have access to a bunch of content. I think the whole house might be on the same WiFi as sometimes content was buffering, but that might have been an ISP issues.
This is an upstairs apartment. If you have mobility issues, you might want to rethink your stay. There are handrails on the stairs. The washer and dryer are in the basement.
Parking is easy, checking in and out is easy. Having a book or more guidance on the listing might be handy. There is recycling in this area, but you only have a small trash. So separate your stuff, keep extra grocery bags to do so.
I guess that’s it. It’s a really nice place to stay, the owner David is real nice and helpful. They’ve been doing VRBO for about a year, so I think it takes a bit to fine tune things. Overall I was happy with the apartment and the location. You have easy access to groceries and restaurants in San Rafael. Lots of stuff to do nearby. It’s beautiful when the weather is nice. I’d stay here again for sure.
Oh, there is a sauna, it’s a small unit, but I never used it, but it’s in the sun room in the second floor.
