About this property

Cozy Studio 2 Blocks from Downtown Mill Valley

PLEASE CHECK CALENDAR TO SEE IF YOUR DATE IS AVAILABLE. I keep it current. Thanks!

NEWLY REMODELED!! Cozy furnished studio in-law unit two blocks from Downtown Mill Valley - a beautiful town a 20 minute drive north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. Restaurants, Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, cafes, shopping, trail heads, movie theater, comedy club/live theater all within walking distance. You can't beat the location.

This is a one room unit with hardwood floors, 1 king sized bed, kitchenette with mini-fridge, sink, microwave, coffee maker, and table for 2, bathroom with shower. This studio is a ground level unit in a 3 unit building with a separate entrance. Flat screen TV and DVD player, wireless internet access and street parking available. Pack and play crib available upon request.

It's perfect for parents visiting their children/grandchildren in the area, or for wedding guests attending the Outdoor Art Club. With nice linens, plush towels, it's much more welcoming and homey than a hotel room.

Easy driving access to San Francisco sight-seeing, and to beautiful Marin scenery and wildlife. 15 minutes to the Muir Woods National Monument old growth redwood forest, and to beautiful Muir Beach. 5 minute drive to Golden Gate National Recreation Area hiking trails, including Tennessee Valley Road trail, where an easy 1 3/4 mile hike takes you to the beach. Mountain biking nearby and kayaking tours of the bay available in Sausalito. 8 to 10 minute drive to downtown Sausalito - explore stores in charming downtown Mill Valley, or walk by the bay on the Sausalito marina. There are ferries to SF leaving from Sausalito and Larkspur.

A 45 minute drive takes you to wine country in Sonoma or Napa, or to the Point Reyes National Seashore.

The unit is on the ground floor (no stairs) of a 2 story, 3 unit building. The backyard is not available for use because full-time tenants have exclusive use of it.

There is a family living upstairs so expect to hear some footsteps above when they are home.

Sorry, no pets allowed.

We also require a $75 cleaning fee for the studio for every reservation.

I contacted the host about a trash problem and a lightbulb that was out, I never got an answer. A raccoon got in the can and I had to clean it up. The refrigerator was not very cold and since we ate all our meals in the room it was not convenient. Also there is no ice. You have to buy a new bag every day. But the unit was very clean and had everything that we needed. The location is super convenient. Just be aware of the two-hour parking nearby. We got a ticket the first day. Otherwise, it was a great stay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the unit very clean, well equipped, and in a super convenient location, and that you otherwise had a great stay. We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the trash, lightbulb, refrigerator, and ice. We did respond to your message through the VRBO messaging portal, and we regret that our response did not reach you or resolve the issues during your stay. We certainly understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the trash situation and the refrigerator not being as cold as expected. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention. We take guest feedback seriously and will use it to improve the experience for future guests. We also appreciate your note regarding the nearby two-hour parking and are sorry you received a ticket. Thank you again for staying with us and for highlighting the positives of your visit. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better experience.

I had a great stay at this cozy studio. The location is perfect, just a short walk to restaurants and coffee, and only about a 10–15 minute drive to Sausalito, which made it very convenient for my work week there. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. Overall it was a great home base and I’d happily stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the room did not meet your expectations. However, I do want to clarify that the photos and listing description are intended to accurately represent the space, and there was no intention to mislead or “cheat” anyone. I understand that perceptions of room size can differ, but I take the accuracy of my listing seriously. I appreciate your feedback and will continue to make the space and its dimensions as clear as possible for future guests.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Graham

Host profile image

We have been living in the bay area for the past 15 years, in San Francisco for 14 of them so please ask us for insider tips if you plan to visit SF. We got married in Mill Valley, adopted our dog in Mill Valley, and are now back living here with 2 kids. I do marketing consulting for natural food and beverage companies and love to play tennis and hike. My husband is a software engineer who loves kite surfing and playing the drums. We have two boys who love to swim, and ride around with us on our bikes.

Why they chose this property

We bought this studio so we could accommodate family and friends when they come to visit us and rent it out when it isn't being used.

What makes this property unique

2 blocks from downtown Mill Valley, 15 minute drive to Muir Woods, 20 minutes to San Francisco, 45 minute drive to Napa. Really, you can't beat the location.
