A really wonderful place -- a beautiful apartment on a hillside with a magnificent view, and really the best you could hope for if you're staying in Marin! The whole experience was fantastic, from start to finish -- and the place even has a beautiful balcony, where you can see amazing birds. Kitchen is great, and the bedrooms are large and nice, and the living room is wonderful too.

This home is perfect. It was clean, everything (beds, pillows, towels, furniture) was comfortable and of nice quality. The deck wraps almost all the way around with gorgeous views and a great breeze up the hill. My kiddos were safe on the deck with a sturdy railing and ample space. The hosts are so sweet and you can tell that they care about the home and how their guests enjoy their experience. We even arrived to coffee and selection of teas, fresh fruit and milk in the fridge. What a gift! Will always stay here when visiting family. Thank you for sharing your space with us.

This was a beautiful unit, decorated with a Japanese style theme. The decor had a remarkable level of detail. The bedroom was lovely with a comfortable bed and a view from the window. Plenty of space for clothes and luggage. The living room area was gorgeous, a lovely place to sit and enjoy coffee or a glass of wine. and gaze out over the Fairfax valley. You can also enjoy the view from the balcony.Overall, the place was very tidy, well appointed and a great place to stay. Host was very nice and helped me with my luggage. They provided fruit, a bottle of wine, and butter and milk in the fridge. (Thanks!) I had everything I needed, and didn’t have to contact the host for anything after check in. A great stay! Very quiet and relaxing. Lots of local food and hiking options. I wish I could have stayed a bit longer, hopefully next trip. I would definitely recommend this site and host.

This is a beautiful property. Our hosts greeted us as we arrived and bid farewell as we left. They provided tips for quality charcuterie and offered a lovely bottle of wine and fresh, organic fruit. This property provided the perfect ambiance for a rejuvenating retreat! We hope to return if we are again in Marin.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Durrer

Host profile image
Thomas was born and raised in Switzerland where he met his future wife Anita 45 years ago. Looking for the California adventure we moved to Marin County 25 years ago and have been happy Fairfax residents ever since. We will have to be convinced of a better place than Fairfax to live to get motivated to leave it. Chances are that we’re staying!

Why they chose this property

We live in a very quiet neighborhood with as many dog walkers as cars. Our unobstructed view onto the San Anselmo hills has always been a special visual treat to wake up to in the morning.

What makes this property unique

Our place feels like a quiet retreat that we enjoy thoroughly.
