My family (young kids and husband and I) stayed at Patti's house for about 8 weeks. The house is even nicer than it appears in the photos: new, modern bathrooms and kitchen, beautiful artwork, very clean, comfortable beds and sofa, beautiful and comfortable decks. Patti was a very responsive host. We had a minor problem connecting to the internet upon arrival and Patti and her husband responded immediately and we were able to sort it out very quickly. Other than that we needed little communication with her because everything in the house functioned properly and was easy to find. The area is about an 8 minute drive from grocery stores and restaurants but the abundance of beautiful hiking trails and beauty of the fog rolling in over the hills makes the drive worth it. It is quite close to San Francisco, Mill Valley, and Sausalito, and not too far from Sonoma and Point Reyes. We would definitely stay at Patti's again!
