Off-street enclosed parking. Pets welcome. This funky and eclectic 600-square-foot apartment is attached to the main house where the hosts live. It has a private entrance as well as a fenced yard and is totally self-contained inside the unit. We're glad to offer this option for those who like to read, work, or simply hang out outside. And of course, it's ideal for those with dogs.

HBO and Showtime are the premium channels (you can watch TV in bed). The kitchenette is small and fully stocked. Suitable for light cooking only (heating up take out--morning coffee and tea). Due to zoning regs, there is no stove. There is a sink, under-the-counter fridge/freezer combo, and microwave/convection oven that works very well for simple cooking and heating up. 3 types of coffeemaker (1 is a 12-cup and one 4-cup as well as a French press), plug-in kettle, and toaster included.

Cozy unit with a nice sized bedroom and bathroom, and a walk in closet. The private fenced in area is really cool. Be sure to read the host's notes regarding suitability for your stay.

This unit is in a beautiful neighborhood. It’s quiet and just what we were looking for. The breakfast goodies and snack basket were an excellent plus. We were pleasantly surprised to see a coyote on the hill the first morning and deer in the driveway later.

Great location. Spacious accommodation. Because of where it is situated in the house, the rooms are rather dark. Fridge and toaster but no cooking surface. Friendly, helpful hosts.

We felt very lucky to find a place to stay within walking distance of our sons home in San Anselmo. The hosts were very easy to communicate and work with. The area that we stayed was clean, friendly quaint, and perfect for our three day stay. The host left breakfast goodies, snacks and fresh flowers on the tables. It was a wonderful place to rest at night, and we will certainly be back the next time we visit our son.

It turns out I know Amy and Edgar from 24 years ago. It was wonderful to bring each other up to date. Life if full of surprises. This was one of the very nice ones.

Edgar and Amy are the nicest hosts, I appreciated the snacks they left out for me after my morning flight. They provided adequate privacy, were very kind and welcoming throughout my stay. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a short-term rental close to San Anselmo.
