Flexible indoor and outdoor space in Marin
chairs, from the outside, for large events. Also make available a storage area, if need be for a fee, to store chairs and other party equipment that renters might need to store the night before the event. Take care of removing the trash and not make the renter's remove...

Trendy Lounge w/ Kitchen & Breakout Space in San Rafael
Really great space! We held my son's 12th birthday party here and it was really perfect. Spacious and really everything you need, since there was a kitchen and bathroom very close by. Although the bathroom is technically for public use, I never saw anyone else using the restrooms (maybe...
