My partner and I stayed here for a month and got to know the area well. It is SO peaceful and beautiful. The unit's private porch overlooks the cutest little canal - you're basically about 20' away - with ducks and turtles and a fountain, and the most beautiful trees that sway in the wind. When you lie in bed at the end of the day and the afternoon light filters through the branches outside the window and you hear all the birdsong, well, it is glorious. After a whole day in the hustle and bustle of San Francisco or driving up to Napa etc, to come back here is a huge sigh of relief. Loved that feeling of a private oasis. The unit itself is safe, clean and very well equipped. We wanted for nothing. It has all the amenities. I love a great shower with enough water pressure, and I had it here. The back porch has a couple of comfortable chairs and we'd often find ourselves sitting out there enjoying a beer or glass of wine at the end of the day, or coffee in the morning. My partner loves to work out, yoga and strength (bands), and she really enjoyed being able to do it outside on the porch, getting into her zone in the California sun and breeze. Angeline was a fantastic host and she made a HUGE difference to our stay. She gave us a ton of good advice, things to do in the immediate area and also things to do throughout the region. Advice ranging from ferry rides, to hiking, to bike riding, to places to go shopping. - everything!! She was also highly responsive. If I sent her a question, she'd be back to us almost immediately. And one final thing on the amazing host meter. We are both involved in heavy graphic design work for a living and are intensive users of bandwidth. Angeline arranged for Comcast to provide us a new modem with an ultra high speed connection so that we could both work simultaneously and effectively. That was huge. I wouldn't hesitate to return and feel like I really lucked out finding this place. Unqualified thumbs-up!

Beautiful setting

Beautiful setting

A really lovely and enjoyable place, but not a 2-bedroom unit, as advertised. It is actually a 1-bedroom unit, and that bedroom was locked off from our use, so we actually had only one HALF bedroom : a loft without a door or real closet. We did briefly look at the unit before moving in, so we are somewhat to blame for being taken by its charm and failing to realize how it wasn’t what was advertised. Gina did usefully negotiate with us over another issue, but refused to open up the one actual bedroom, so it's a gross representation to advertise it as a 2 bedroom unit that sleeps four! Because we were upset at this, we found ourselves dissatisfied with other things that otherwise we'd let slide: several of the kitchen cabinets were filled with their food products that we don’t use, the t.v. has many Asian language stations but no stations (for example, CNN, any sports station, etc.) that we watch, there is no baking pans, etc. Put together with the bedroom issue, we concluded that Gina was not focused on accommodating to her guests. With it being listed differently, people who chose to rent it would probably be quite happy with it.
