Shops nearby were helpful. Super close to a big Macy’s that had food options and in walking distance of a Trader Joe’s. The pool was under maintenance while we stayed which we were not informed about before hand. That was disappointing.

The restaurant Fairfix was AMAZING. The staff was the most fun/personable we have met and food was delicious! Cozy small town, a good distance from wineries and hiking and coast.

4/5 - Good

Paul

Old Marin town with a cool, funky vibe. Live music venues, restaurants and small shops are all around. Fairfax is also close to great outdoor recreation like the Samuel P Taylor Redwoods and the Bay Ridge trails. Also a great cycling spot.

5/5 - Excellent
