Our family of 3 enjoyed our 2 night stay at Stacey's apartment- we were in town for a wedding, and it was easy to get to/from Sausalito from the apartment. Only a 15-20min drive to Muir Woods and Muir Beach overlook too! Beds were comfortable, and our teenager enjoyed having the "loft" area all to himself. Space heaters worked great to keep the rooms the right temperature. Street parking was easy and right in front of the apartment.

Cute place, Amazing Location

Very cute property, clean, easy check in and check out. The location was incredible in relation to Muir Woods, and additional amazing hiking trails and beaches. The house had everything that we needed to cook most of our own meals. The fresh coffee beans were also such a nice touch. The wifi was the only thing that was bit tough/slow, but we understand that is an issue on Mill Valley in general. :)

Perfect for a Marin County vacation

Loved our one week stay - convenient drive to Muir Woods, Muir Beach, Mt Tamalpais hikes, Mill Valley, Golden Gate Bridge, Point Bonita Lighthouse, The Marine Mammal Center, Sausalito board walk, Bay Area Discovery Museum for little kids, Slide Ranch & Stinson Beach. Easy enough city drive from the San Fran airport and close parking on the street (it is on a narrow street on a hill but welcome to Northern Cali so easy with a small suv). The stairs to the basement unit are common for Northern Cali and for me part of the charm. Kitchen made making dinners and breakfast a nice break from eating out. The beds were comfortable and we travel with white noise so overhead door traffic was no problem and less then you'd get at a hotel. Backyard view is full of vegetation and peaceful. Super safe neighborhood! Rules were all very reasonable with easy checkout. We have seasonal allergies so the wall air filter in the bedroom room was so very appreciated and quickly cleared the air. It is small but exactly as described; painted white to brighten with thoughtful decorations. Great price for the area for a small family, we would gladly stay again - thanks Stacey!

This was a perfect place outside San Francisco! It was easy to get to and allowed great access to Muir Woods. It is the bottom floor/deck of a home but was completely private. It was stocked with kitchen essentials including basic cooking items like oil, seasonings, coffee, etc.

Excellent location with a beautiful view.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The property was extremely clean and crisp and the beds were quite comfortable. Our teenager loved the loft bed, he had his own space! The view outside was wonderful. It's difficult for me to say what was my favorite part, the sunshine in the morning or the twinkle from the lights of the houses on the hill in the evening. We will certainly check to see if this property is available the next time we are visiting family in the Bay Area.

Cute and cozy

My friend and I stayed here for 8 days for vacation. Booking was great and easy, Stacey was very communicative. Expect a cute, cozy space with two full/queen beds. Pillows were flat. One bed is in the living room with curtains for privacy and the other is the main bedroom. Kitchen/table/living room are basically one space. Some basic kitchen items weren't there like a can opener or saucepans for cooking for yourself, but there was a toaster, microwave, kettle, coffee pot, and pans. It was a good size for two of us, but may be tight for more. Not a lot of comfortable seating options for more people. Couch was small and not super comfy. I will say that if you are a light sleeper, either look elsewhere or bring earplugs. Upstairs noise wasn't overly disruptive/loud but there were a few times when it was. Mostly day to day happenings above us were loud and made it hard to sleep for one of us. If you are a heavy sleeper, it’s not a problem, the ceiling just seems thin. The walk down to the apt. is several small flights of stairs so if you aren’t physically able, it wouldn’t be a good idea to traverse these. Minimal number of towels so if you like a lot of them, you’ll be doing laundry. Also detergent/soap is limited unless you ask her for more. I think overall, we really enjoyed the place for the price and the area was clean, quiet and nice. I think a few more extra touches would have been exceptional and would’ve bumped me to the 5 star. Easy check in and she even let me borrow her slow cooker! Thank you for a nice stay, Stacey.

Clean, cozy apartment with gorgeous view

This compact apartment managed to have everything we needed - the kitchen was well equipped to cook full meals (it even includes kid-friendly cups/dishes/cutlery!). Beds were comfy, location was quiet and the view off the deck is lovely - and comes with the occasional hummingbird visit. We stayed at several places during our vacation, and this one had the best kitchen setup and the best bed setup for a family of four. We never met the hosts in person but they were responsive and gracious. One thing to be aware of is that the road the house is located on is quite steep and narrow. We had no problem parking, but good to be aware if you are not used to the Bay Area's hills and curves. Would come again!

Great location with minor issues

Our family of four stayed here for 2 nights. Much was made of how quiet we needed to be to respect the neighbors, yet the owners above us woke us up in the middle of both nights chasing a child or dog around. The noise was unreal and went on for quite a while both nights. Overall, the place was small but decent for the price, parking was on a very narrow street and very limited. The location is really convenient, but don't expect a quite night of uninterrupted sleep.
