Perfectly charming
We enjoyed our stay in this very charming house in a very quiet and parking friendly street in San Rafael. Everything was very clean and the bedding some of the softest I have ever seen in a rental place. The hosts were very gracious and helpful.

Wonderful experience!
Chamin is a wonderfulful and gracious host, and maintains a charming rental property. The unit is located on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown, where there are several delightful cafes, shops, and restaurants. The unit is tastefully decorated with everything you need and the beds are very comfortable. The host went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
