Gary's condo was a great choice and a good value. We stay in 3-5 HomeAway properties a year and this one was especially well appointed. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the bathroom and butter, coffee, sugar, syrup, olive oil, foil, storage bags etc. in the kitchen. Appreciated the washer/dryer too. So nice to not have to buy EVERYTHING. I'm not sure that this is the best choice for families with children. Seems like the noise in the second floor travels easily to the first floor tenant if they are going to run around. Also, the unit is nicely updated, but understand this is an older home. Bathrooms are tight and you will need either/both the windows and fireplace to control the temperature. Fans and heaters are well located and we were very comfortable. The dining room was a great size and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Mill Valley was a cute and quiet town, close to Muir Woods and Muir Overlook and we really enjoyed eating at Playa...practically across the street. The ferry out of Larkspur was a great way to avoid weekday traffic but we found it fast and inexpensive to drive in on the weekend. 20 minutes and plenty of meters available.
