Property was listed as a two bedroom that slept four which was not the case. Upon arrival we immediately noticed that the home was fully cluttered with all of the hosts personal belongings. Master bedroom - queen bed with no place for personal belongings. Closets and dresser were full with hosts clothes, shoes, etc. Office - I assume this was supposed to be the second bedroom but it was not set up as a bedroom. It included a Peloton bike, a desk and chair, a large hutch and cabinet and a couch. When I asked the host about the set up she explained that the couch came apart and that there should be a tempapedic mattress somewhere outside UNDER the house. She literally asked me to build the bed for lack of a better explanation. Under no circumstances as a guest should this be the case. This set up should have been explained in the original listing so that guests knew in advance what they were getting into…very misleading. No space for clothes. Living room - small and full of oversized furniture which made it difficult to navigate. We wound up using the couch as a second place to sleep which is not what we paid for. Kitchen - fridge FULL of old, expired food. Dishwasher full of dirty dishes. Ants on the counter. Bathroom - vanity and shower full of hosts personal care items. No space for our belongings. Shower did not always function. Outdoors - leaves, cobwebs, and debris on all furniture. Host was informed and gave us a $250 refund and asked me not to leave a review.

Cluttered, did not feel clean. Master bedroom had no drawer or closet space available. Not even enough floor space to live out of suitcase. Owner left note to use 2 drawers and few shelves in closet in another room. Bathroom cluttered with personal stuff. Kitchen had food in frig. Air quality poor. Either animal in house or mold. We left without staying, as breathing was difficult.

Charming!

Charming, beautifully decorated, cozy space for my 2 adult daughters and me doing our stay in Marin. Outdoor patio is a lovely spot for a morning cup of coffee. Location is within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and a perfect spot from which to explore Marin, wineries and San Fransisco. Owner has a lot of her own personal items throughout, so you need to be comfortable with that. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy, clean, perfect size for 2 of us, great shower, loved the outdoor area and great location to san anselmo downtown. We did have the cottage to ourselves but the only think we didn't care for was the amount of the owners personal stuff throughout the cottage from clothes, shoes, makeup, food in fridge...every other vrbo we stayed at has been a vacation home with just a few knick knacks around the house. That is our preference.

Andrea was a perfect host: check-in was simple, her home is lovely & had everything we needed & more! We had family visiting from out of town & we're thrilled to find this place. They loved staying here; so much cozier & more relaxing than any hotel. Will definitely stay here again, thanks!

I needed a Marin base for a week and really loved this cozy little house. I used the 2nd bedroom as a closet to spread out my wardrobe, and I enjoyed the lovely enclosed patio as a workspace. I would stay again if I get so lucky.

Lovely cottage, close to Both SF and Sonoma area. Close to the Larkspur ferry that will take you into downtown San Francisco. After long days of walking around various locales it was wonderful to return to a comfortable, quiet environment. We enjoyed eating out in the serene back yard, watching the sun go down and the various birds flitting around the property.

Andrea's cottage is the perfect San Anselmo retreat. So lovely, comfortable, quiet and convenient in all respects. Ultra relaxing and beautiful property with short walk to great restaurants, boutiques, etc. Check-in was simple and Andrea was easily accessible if a question arose. Don't know when I've enjoyed a vacation more!!

Elegant gem of a cottage in a great location

Elegant gem of a cottage in a great location

As the overview accurately states, this is a beautifully furnished, elegant cottage with many of the comforts of a luxury hotel (great shower, plush and comfortable bed and living room furniture) but triple the space. The weather prevented our taking advantage of great-looking outdoor space, but we would have spent most of our time on the well-appointed patio if it had been dry—and hope to come back for another season. The experience of staying here is more like staying with a clever and artistic relative or being dropped into the midst of someone else’s life than the more typical pared-down and neutral HomeAway space. You need to be comfortable with the owners’ possesssions everywhere. The location has everything you could ask for: ease of access to services, stores, main routes to highlight but impressive quiet and privacy. Just two hints: 1) Asthma suffers and those with allergies to heavy perfumes should take note that the owner clearly likes strong scents as part of her style (incense blowers, scented candles, perfume diffuser) and they were pervasive even with big time venting. Because there are more than 20 steps up to the house and limited storage, small carry-ons are a better match than big checked bags or lots of stuff if you stay here. Finally, Andrea was easy to reach and quick to respond to all our questions.

Being our first HomeAway trip, we had questions; and Andrea was always prompt and friendly with her replies. She made it easy on us. Parking in this area can be troublesome, but her place had a driveway which solved that problem. If you have a car it's a great location as a base from which to travel into San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Pt. Reyes and all they other outdoor recreational spots in the area.

It was disappointing that we had so much to do....I would have really enjoyed just relaxing in the cottage and on the fabulous back patio. Thank you so much for a perfect weekend.

Wonderful weekend away!

We had a great stay at Andreas home. It was a weekend spent with my daughter, two nieces and my sister-in-law and we had a wonderful weekend! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and the outside patio made for nights of memories. We built a fire and sat outside in the evenings for hours during our stay. The home was so nice and welcoming! We made some great memories here and were so thankful to Andrea for the wonderful accommodations. We look forward to a return visit!

San anselmo cottage

This beautiful gem of a place was perfect for our trip to San Anselmo! We were within walking distance to the location of our son's bakery which made visiting so easy. The space was warm and inviting, the obvious renovations were done with quality, precision and class! The bed was comfy as were the towels! The only negative for our stay was the realization that we were occupying someone else's space, with little closet space or space for clothes. We adapted but it was a bit awkward. Over-all I would rate our stay 4 stars, we would definitely try to reserve it the next time we visit our son and daughter in law! Mary

Great getaway

Great getaway

The place was great for our family (wife and I, plus a 2 year old) during a weekend escape. The surrounding town has plenty in walking distance and the house itself was just cozy enough for us to relax after our time out and about. 30-40 mins from San Fran so we weren't too far and not in the thick of things either, a nice blend. We didn't need to use any of the allocated closet space, so we can't say if it was enough or would be enough. What was provided we loved and would def want to come back again. AppleTV wasn't working at the time, but we had a bevy of other things to view on TV as it was for the couple hours we had before bed. Thanks!

Andrea's house was just right for us. Andrea checked in with us to make sure everything was in good order. The garden and patio are lovely, the house is lovely too but very full of Andrea's things which might make it unsuitable for small and. curious children.

Very Pleasant and Relaxing Experience

Very Pleasant and Relaxing Experience

My family and I (two adults and a ten year-old) had an excellent six-day experience at the San Anselmo cottage. Everything was as described, tastefully done and of the highest quality (including the fully equipped kitchen). The surrounding area was lovely and quiet, and there were two supermarkets within a short walking distance of the cottage. The beautiful Marin County and the rest of the Bay Area are easily reached by car, so it was convenient that there was one off-street parking space directly in front of the property. The only problem (if it could be called that) was that it was a little challenging to find places to put our luggage and other things, given that the owner's things were already there, but we would be very pleased to stay at the cottage again.
