About this apartment rental

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.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Lovely little suite with kitchenette and private entrance in the walkout basement of the host's home. The main part of San Rafael is very close with lots of cafes and shops. There is also a park/open space area with lots of trails very close to the home that we didn't know about and was a pleasant surprise. The host was very communicative and accommodating. We very much enjoyed staying here.

Jessica was an awesome host, being very welcoming and available the whole time. The studio is beautifully appointed with an understated elegance and artistic flare. All natural and earthy tones. The place was wonderfully organized, supplied and very fresh and clean. Great bed with nice linens. We appreciated the big walk-in closet that was not shown in the photos. More spacious than expected. Although there is a stretch of a very narrow hillside road leading to the house, once we got there, the parking was very easy. Fabulous place to stay. We felt really lucky to be there!!! Two thumbs way up from us!!!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2025
This studio is well equipped with all things needed. Welcoming fruit and chocolate a nice touch. Bed comfy. Barely could hear upstairs’ neighbors. Location is up usual windy roads in Marin which is getting harder for us as we get older but parking was a snap. There is a step up into bathroom.. hostess communicated often . Lots of hangers and storage space.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2024
This little studio worked great for me. I was in town for a week-long class, and wanted an affordable option, close to downtown that allowed me to prepare my own meals. This place checked all of those boxes. The owner was easy to communicate with, and even though the parking was on the street, I never had issues getting a parking spot right next to the home.
