Frank's townhouse was a lovely place to stay in Petaluma. We really appreciated the bottle of wine and chocolates, and the home was clean and well laid out. We were able to cook a few times, and it was great to have pots and pans at the ready. We would definitely recommend.

This property was in an amazing location to downtown Petaluma. The host left a kind gift for us and check-in was a breeze. My only cautions are that you are actually sharing the house with people who live downstairs, thus limiting your privacy. The entire living space is up a steep flight of stairs and the temperature was quite uncomfortable although there is a stand alone air conditioner in the master bedroom. There are no black out shades in the master, so be prepared for the sun to awaken you before 6:00 AM. The temperature inside the space in the afternoons was very uncomfortable, but evenings and mornings are nice and cool with the windows open.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, historic home over the Christmas holidays. The house has great character and charm, and its location is ideal as it just a short walk to the downtown area with shops, restaurants and local attractions.Our host, Frank, was terrific. He was responsive, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Additionally, he provided us with welcome snacks!

My wife and I had a relaxing 10 day stay in this home in Petaluma, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind and explore the area. The location is ideal. It's in a quiet neighborhood with only a 10-15 walk to great restaurants and shopping. And Petaluma is an ideal home base for exploring wine country, redwoods, and the coast. The home itself is great too. Loved the large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Frank is friendly and responsive and keeps the home clean and maintained. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Frank

Host profile image
Father of three adults, I have lived in Petaluma for over 20 years and feel this is a wonderful part of the world. I enjoy hosting meeting new people and working on improving my home.

Why they chose this property

This location is hard to beat. Just close enough to walk downtown but not to close to the noise and congestion a popular town like Petaluma will bring. Public transportation is 4 blocks away and close to boutique shopping, theater district, are all walkable and wineries are located in and around Petaluma/ Sonoma County.
