Besides being VERY tiny, it was very well equipped. I was surprised how much function the tiny kitchenette had. It met our needs for the two nights we spend there. We had a great day in Napa country from this location. Great restaurants downtown.

Cute and Cozy

Loved our stay at Fair Street Retreat! The apartment was clean, kitchenette well stocked and communication with host was super easy. Loved the location, it was quiet, yet close to downtown. Really appreciated being able to bring our small dog, so much more convenient than a hotel.

Tiny Hideout

This place was small but had everything we needed for our stay. It's close to downtown but far enough away for some peace and quiet. The property managers were super responsive to our communication. Not much room in the "food/kitchen" area, but we planned on eating out most of the time any way, so it didn't matter to me. Has a nice big bathroom and comfy king bed.
