Great location, beautiful hiking trail 5 mins from apartment with a view of the San Fran Cityscape and love the grill on the patio deck. We bought beef flap meat from a local butcher shop in Mill Valley and the meat off the grill was amazing! No shade on the patio deck during the day and large spiders were in our apartment during the stay. It was pretty hectic driving up and down the hill due to bicyclist taking over the roadway during the day, felt pretty dangerous also with a tree fallen over blocking one lane on a two way one lane each way mountain road. Overall would recommend to any couple staying here. Have to be able to walk hills and stairs to stay here.

Peaceful Retreat

Fantastic spot to stay and recharge! The view from the deck is amazing and the studio is well outfitted for a comfortable stay. It is car dependent but parking is easy. Host was friendly and accommodating while offering total privacy. Highly recommend.

Perfect for short stay

We enjoyed our 8 day stay, and would do it again. For two people staying longer than a couple of days, and cooking in the studio, more small pans and microwave dishes would be helpful.

Noisy neighbor

The room had all the necessities. Needed a bit more cleaning. The owners half of the house was quiet, however, the neighbor’s construction began every day at 7:15 am. Not what I wanted to wake up to on vacation.

The apartment was basically accurate

The location was great. Lots of hiking trails with great vistas. The apt was basic and satisfactory. The bed bed was comfortable. But the apt was a dark even though there is a sunny deck. Overall it was a good home base for my trip.

Great little quiet studio up in the hills of Mill Valley. Beautiful deck overlooking the area and the bay. Cozy, but has most everything necessary. My only complaint is that it wasn't terribly clean. The area rug hadn't been vacuumed and there were cobwebs in various places. Normally, I can live with that, but since I paid an $85 cleaning fee (which I assume the previous renter paid as well), it would be nice to have it clean.

Great little studio apartment near San Francisco

This studio apartment was perfect for our needs as we stayed near the San Francisco area. We loved being able to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. The neighborhood is nice and we saw wildlife! There is no air conditioning, but the owners do provide a fan. Also, the deck is nice but there is no window treatment on the back door. That might be fine for most people, but we felt like we did not have total privacy.

Awesome Mill Valley studio!

Just the right size for my husband and I for the weekend! An amazing view of the mountains and the marshes from the deck, which we enjoyed with morning coffee. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. A great location to explore Mill Valley, Larkspur, Sausalito and Muir Woods.
