About this property

Cozy studio in San Rafael; close to everything the Bay Area has to offer!

We are a 3-minute drive to downtown San Rafael, 30 minutes to San Francisco, and less than 45 minutes to Napa and Sonoma. We look forward to meeting you!

This cozy studio is about 420 square feet and adjoins the house but has its own entrance.

We live in a quiet and safe neighborhood with lots of trees and walking trails nearby. The road to our house is narrow and winds around a bit, but it's only 1/3 of a mile from Lincoln Avenue, one of the main streets running through San Rafael. Downtown San Rafael is about a 15-minute walk (downhill going there, uphill coming back).

Amenities include:

Queen bed
Full bathroom with bathtub & shower
Kitchenette with apartment-sized stove, refrigerator and microwave
32" flat-screen TV with premium cable channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.)
Wireless internet access
Plenty of street parking, which is a short walk to the front door (no steps)

We provide all linens, towels, and soap. Guests staying 7 days or more may use our washer and dryer.

San Rafael is a convenient and central Bay Area location, only a 30-minute drive to Napa, San Francisco, Berkeley/Oakland, and about 20 minutes to the beach and Muir Woods. Downtown San Rafael and the transit station are about 1 mile away, as is the freeway entrance (101 north and south). The downtown area is charming, with artist studios, shops, restaurants, and a wonderful art house cinema. Sol Food Restaurant, less than a mile away, has been written up in the New York Times (36 Hours in Marin County); it has delicious and inexpensive Puerto Rican food. We're also near Dominican College, and the Terrapin Crossroads, a great new music venue owned by Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead.

We love hosting people and can guarantee you'll feel comfortable and well cared for. We have a small standard poodle who is very sweet and friendly. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Miscellaneous: We charge $15.00/night for a third guest. "Check-in" time is 4:00 pm.

A lovely stay
A perfect little get-away spot in San Rafael. Immaculate efficiency with a nice place to cook, eat, relax and of course sleep on a comfy bed. Very private with its own entrance. An easy 5 minute drive to downtown - but up a very high and twisty hill, so probably not walkable except for athletic types. We have kids grandkids in San Rafael who live in a tiny house, so we hope to be back again in this lovely space!

Stay Review
This vrbo was lovely and I would definitely stay again! It was a bit in the hills however, after driving in and out a few times I got quite used to it. It really was a wonderful little studio. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Property
Spacious, clean, and totally comfortable. Everything that anyone could need was provided, including fresh fruit and coffee. I was impressed with the friendly neighbors and easy accessibility. I will try to continue to rent this property for more visits with my children.
