Lovely 3 bedroom with lots of light and character! We loved staying here and walking out the door to shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails. It’s a fantastic place.

A vase of fresh flowers and some snacks greeted us, which was such a kind gesture. The location is superb - walking distance to restaurants, the venue, and photo spots. Having a parking space was nice so we didn't have to street park (although keep in mind the driveway is long and narrow - slow and careful is best). As the listing mentions, a flight of stairs is required and we highly recommend the more comfortable exterior flight. We had carloads full of decor boxes and did ok with the steps. The decor is just as charming as pictured and was a great background for getting-ready photos for the bridal party. Washer/dryer was convenient.
We had the unique experience of staying during a July heatwave, and Mill Valley, like much of the Bay Area, doesn't do air conditioning very well. It was unfortunately uncomfortably hot inside during the day but cooled down overnight and mornings were lovely. There is a window AC unit in the living room, so likely we would have had the same experience in any VRBO in the area. Perhaps another unit in the rear bedroom would be helpful for future summers. We are still glad we booked this spot for the cuteness and location!

The apartment is clean, easy to find and close proximity to multiple sites & great restaurants.

The location of the property was amazing. Walkable to every wedding venue in town. Mill Valley Inn, Depot Café and Bookstore and the Out Door Art venue. It was great that the VRBO had a designated parking spot.
Easy to get to from SFO and a pleasant drive once we got over the Golden Gate Bridge!
We were also close to Muir Woods which was a beautiful half day excursion.
Great restaurants near by and Mill Valley Market was convenient and good for any forgotten goodies.
Gary was a wonderful host, He not only answered every email but also in rapid time. His detailed house guest book gave us great insight to the area, eateries and places of interest with detailed info on hikes walkable from his VRBO. We took a couple of them while we were there. The place was spotless when we arrived and there were no expectations about clean up; we didn't even have to strip the beds-which helps when you have to catch a plane!!
We live in Central California and look forward to another visit to Mill Valley and hopefully Gary's VRBO.
Thank you Gary for your hospitality.

We rented 2 apartments from Gary. The studio below for my wife and I and this 3 bedroom for my 2 daughters, their family and 3 young grand Children. Both places were immaculately clean, spacious, thoughtfully appointed, and perfectly located since we were hosting a wedding at the Outdoor Art Club 2 blocks away. Gary was very available and accommodating, although we had few needs since everything was taken care of in advance. Don’t hesitate if you need a place in Mill Valley, studio, 1 or 3 bedroom, I would highly recommend Gary’s places. All of Mill Valley restaurants, coffee shops, markets and venues are within 1-3 blocks.

Had everything we needed, short walk to local restaurants. Interior stairs are a little arduous, outdoor stairs are easier with bags. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean.

Great rental right in the heart of Mill Valley. Loved the walkability and proximity to other fun cities/things to do.

Gary’s adorable apartment was perfect for our visit to the delightful village of Mill Valley. Best part was the location! Open the door and in seconds you are sipping coffee at charming cafes and strolling in stores and boutiques. You are close by to great walking trails. The apartment itself is super cute and clean. Loved the gas fireplace to take the chill off in the mornings. Bathrooms are very “cozy” i.e. tiny, but completely functional and clean. Gary was immediately responsive to my texts. Great place!

You cannot beat the location of this apartment, just steps away from everything. The apartment itself was very nice and cozy. It was the perfect place for us during our stay. I would stay here again if I needed to be back in the Bay Area for work.

Well maintained property, located smack dab in the middle of downtown Mill Valley. Overall we enjoyed the property. Several items to be aware of: 1) Garbage trucks come early in the morning almost every day to service surrounding businesses; 2) Need to climb a short but slightly steep staircase to enter apartment level; and lastly, 3) NO TV. Owner informed us that they had removed their TV the day before we arrived! Not a deal breaker but it was included as an amenity in the pricing of the property when we booked it. Fortunately, there is lots to do in the surroundings area but we were not informed in a timely manner to give us the opportunity to make another reservation.

The apt is like no other vacation rental. It features 3 private comfy bedrooms! A private bedroom is a dream for single travelers.Usually singles are crowded into two beds in one room. Here you can sink into the most comfy mattress ever and rest in between your adventures or scheduled workshops. You will have luscious comfort, privacy and convenience as well as a beautiful living room or outdoor space to reunite with loved ones.
The apt gives you access to many shops and restaurants as well as a home kitchen stocked with everything you need to eat at home or to prepare lunch for the next day's trip to Point Reyes or Tennessee Valley for an inspiring hike.

Loved this location and place. It is a stone's throw from The Outdoor Arts club and just perfectly situated in town. We were really happy with the place and the basics in the kitchen too! Thanx for a wonderful stay

Mill Valley is one of my favorite places on the planet. The apartment was located in the heart of downtown. It was the perfect size for my family. Was super nice the cupboard had all the basics needed for cooking: spices, olive oil, ect. And coffee filters. Check in was super easy so was check out. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. If you want to go into SF, it's only about a 20 minute drive, but there's plenty to do in surrounding redwood forests and Marin County.

We initially booked this as the map showed it was in the village centre.However, it is a good 25 mins uphill from the centre. A lovely place but not convenient for the village. A car is needed for shopping etc.
would stay again but bring the car.

Great small town
Walking distance to almost anything you need, like market, movie theater, great variety of restaurants, and small shops to get to see. Place to park so we never worried about the time we stopped for the night..

Excellent stay in Mill Valley!
Gary's home was absolutely perfect for our stay in Mill Valley! We were in town for my son's wedding at the Mill Valley Art Center and the location of the property was 1 block away. The home is in the ideal location of town so you can walk to restaurants, shops and grocery store. Also, Gary is a super star
host, if I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!

The Perfect Stay
I rented this apartment for myself and my family during my intimate wedding at the Outdoor Art Club. It's located down the street from OAC. My wedding planner was blown away by the apartment and the location and will recommend it to her other brides.
It's beautifully appointed and decorated and has an abundance of natural light. It was perfect for my getting-ready photos!
My family loved the apartment and location! Comfortable, well-appointed with plenty of space for six adults to enjoy! Easy to walk to eateries, a grocery store, and cute shops.
Communication with Gary, the landlord, was welcoming, clear, courteous, and prompt. Very much appreciated!
I highly, highly recommend this apartment! It was perfect for me and my family.

Perfect location for wedding weekend/tour area
15 minutes from a wedding at Cavallo Point - then lots of sightseeing (15 minutes to Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods) (20 minutes to Sonoma Wine Country). Gary's place was very comfortable for 3 couples (all family). The location could not be better - 3 coffee shops within 1 minute walk, lots of stores, restaurants. So quiet and equiped with everything we needed.Thanks Gary for your hospitality!

Fantastic Spot!
Our family of five (including our 24, 22, and 20 year olds) had a wonderful time in Mill Valley. We arrived after a short trip to Yosemite and a wine tasting in Napa. We used it as our launching point for trips to SF, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, etc. When we came home, we had an incredibly comfy home for relaxing and unwinding.
The living spaces were beautifully decorated and big enough for the five of us. The beds and pillows were perfect for an afternoon nap and a good night's sleep.
We enjoyed the coffee shops, breakfast place across the street and several restaurants within walking distance of our Mill Valley home.
The kitchen was nicely equipped and we appreciated the coffee and fresh fruit which Gary left for us. The shampoos and soaps were a very nice touch.
We appreciated having a dedicated parking spot, too.
This place was a bit of a splurge for us, and totally worth it!!

Great location and place with a more than super host
After reading great reviews on our host Gary, we can say the he exceeded our expectations by far always trying to give the best experience to his guests. After many communications with Gary, I can say that he is a genuine, honest and generous person by nature and always trying to help. He really goes the extra mile for others and that shows in his place with all the attention to detail and as a result, we felt at home. My family (Spouse, young kid and mother in-law) really enjoyed living there for nearly 2 weeks and appreciated the location as it is at a walkable distance to everything (downtown, groceries, restaurants, parks and trails), the cleanliness of the place with all the equipment necessary and even a fun backward with picnic table and BBQ. Looking forward to get in touch with you in the future. Thanks again Gary! Dominic

Great little place in Town
Gary was great with all his communications and all questions were resolved asap:). The apartment is clean and comfortable and located right in town. Access to all restaurants and shopping are steps from door. Husband and adult son worked remote from apartment and each had plenty of space. Lots of hiking trails and biking right out the door. Gary's recommendations were spot on. We hope to be back in the future. Thanks Gary for all your help and also mailing back my husband hat:)

Perfect location in Mill Valley. Close to absolutely everything; great restaurants, shopping and market. We are MV residents and so happy to have found a perfect spot to rent for visiting family and friends.

Gary was very helpful and his apartment is exactly as advertised. There was nothing that he hadn’t thought of and all five of us were very comfortable in the apartment. We had everything we needed and we loved the location, with a short walk to shops and restaurants. Mill Valley was a really nice town, close to Muir Woods and a short drive (about 15 minutes) across the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco. It was also nice to escape back to Mill Valley after spending the day in San Francisco. It was a rare find to have an apartment where we could park our car off the street. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone interested in a visit to the Bay Area and would stay there again if we had the opportunity.
