WONDERFUL!!!
Iris and Ary are lovely! Their cozy oasis was the perfect fit for me. I have family in the area and this was a perfect retreat to get away and have some alone time. I was able to work remotely without incident. Great quiet neighborhood, near all things San Rafael. Great location. I will continue to book with Iris and Ary when visiting Family!

Gerstle Park Rental
Here are the pros and cons from my experience: Pros: - Iris, the property manager was very good at communications. She was very prompt in returning emails. In addition, she was very accommodating. - The rental was centrally located to everything. Cons: - I’m very noise sensitive and there was no sound deafening insulation between the house and rental. I could hear a baby screaming and crying. I will have to say that they would move the baby to the back of the house, so it would be less noisy. I could hear them walking around. Occasionally someone would drop something that made a large noise. These are suggestions and recommendations that I gave to Iris, the property manager that would make this rental better: 1. A light above the mirror in the bathroom. 2. Shelving above the toilet. 3. A hand towel ring on the wall to the right of in the sink. 4. Microwave in the kitchen. 5. A coffee table in front of the couch. 6. A nightstand and light next to the bed. 7. Adding a top sheet on the bed.
