About this condo rental
Located in San Rafael, this lovely condo for $119 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. 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 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!

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.

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.

It was perfect for us! The place was nice, clean and spacious. Comfortable as well. It had everything we needed, especially coffee! The location was very convenient. We were able to easily drive to San Francisco, Berkeley and Sonoma. Two thumbs (way) up!!!!
5.0
The kitchenette is really nice, but ventilation is dependent on opening the window. We were happy with the place except for the dining table and stools. We found them challenging- uncomfortable and hard to get in close to the plate.

Perfect, private studio
My week long stay with these VRBO hosts was exceptional. The studio is clean, bright, private and surrounded by lush vegetation. Everything you need to make your stay comfortable has been thought of. The kitchenette is well stocked, and many small touches such as a clothes brush in the closet and a night light in the bathroom Have been added to the studio.
The studio is situated at the front of the main house located. It’s minutes from down town San Rafeal in a unique and beautiful wooded mountain side which feels more like your staying in a private oasis rather than an urban city area. There are stunning nature walks and views right by the property.
The hosts we incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about what to do in the area and where to eat and explore. I found the room quite, the bed comfortable, the space clean, warm and inviting.
This VRBO stay was an excellent experience, one I highly recommend it.

We stayed during some very wet weather. The place was dry, warm and comfortable. Nicely equipped kitchen with stove and microwave. The only thing we had issues with was the rain dripping off the roof, next to window, behind the head of the bed. Very loud and hard to sleep. Other than that, the place was easy to find and close to San Rafael.
The property owner welcomed us and was very nice. We would stay here again.

Nice studio in the hills
Nice studio, better suited for two than three people, but we had 3 and it worked out fine. Great attention to detail as far as including everything you're likely to need in a small space. I would give five stars except that the bed was not particularly comfortable.

Perfect for two
My husband and I stayed four nights and found the studio very quiet, clean, and comfortable as promised. The location was very convenient for us whether visiting friends who live in the area or to get on a highway to San Francisco. We were pleasantly surprised to find a basket of snacks on the table and two bottles of water and apples in the refrigerator upon our arrival. Very thoughtful. We will definitely consider staying again.

Convenient and comfortable
I was surprised at how roomy this studio was, and how functional! The owners have taken the time to make the kitchen perfect for a short stay and I loved the deep sink all the amenities. Additionally, you are not far from San Rafael and San Anselmo and only a short drive to Petaluma.
I would definitely use vrbo to reserve this studio in San Rafael again.
