About this apartment rental
This cozy studio is surrounded by redwood trees and a paved terraced garden. Very light with a full kitchen including a gas stove, microwave, toaster, blender, electric tea kettle, refrigerator. Very comfortable queen size bed. We just installed a lovely merino wool carpet and the unit is newly painted. The studio is below our kitchen. We have added padded mats to our kitchen floor to dull the sound of footsteps above. We are generally very quiet upstairs and very conscious of our guests below - especially mornings and evenings.
All linens, bedding and towels are washed with unscented detergents.
It is located within walking distance of a great grocery store, College of Marin and there are many wonderful restaurants close by. The garden is yours to use at your leisure; surrounded by redwood trees and a view of Mount Tam. There are biking and hiking trails nearby, several movie theaters and the Marin Art and Garden Center. Only 5 minutes from the freeway and 20 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, and usually 10 to 20 degrees warmer than San Francisco, Sausalito and Mill Valley. If you want a to stay in the Bay Area and avoid the fog, this is the place to be especially if you are interested in exploring Napa, Sonoma and the coastal areas like Stinson Beach and Point Reyes.
NOTE to longer term guests of 7 days or more. You may request cleaning service for an additional fee of $75. You may use the washer and dryer free of charge once a week.

France was fabulously kind and generous. Highly recommend her place. I’ll be back
5.0 / 5.0
A haven, indeed, for a ten-day working vacation.
The studio is quiet, calming, with sunlight filtered through two majestic redwoods just beyond the window panes. An ideal work environment for a writer.
Although the kitchen is small -- perhaps the coziest aspect of the studio -- it's especially well-equipped: a toaster, coffee brewer, microwave, and a Vitamix blender.
Comfortable bed; terrific shower.
But perhaps most importantly, France is a welcoming, gracious, thoughtful host.
Kentfield Haven ranks among my top VRBO rental experiences.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a small apartment with everything anyone could want in a charming package. It is set in a lovely garden that the gracious host encourages her guests to enjoy. There is a kitchen, a good shower, a desk, comfortable chairs for relaxing and, very important, a good bed. I’m looking forward to my return.

I needed a place to stay in the Marin area while I was in-between jobs. France's studio was perfect. Centrally located between all the little towns in Marin. While easy access to Sir Francis Drake Blvd, the location has a feel of being in the woods. I especially loved all the redwood woods outside the studio. The area is quiet, relaxing and the host, France, was there to answer any and all questions.

The moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The roomy studio was super-clean, well laid-out, and had all the comforts of home. France was very responsive and hospitable. We come to Marin fairly often, and this will be our new home-from-home.
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our extended stay at France’s studio. The garden setting is beautiful, and the studio itself is well appointed- even a little larger than we had anticipated. Everything was very clean and scent free, and the sheets were so soft! The kitchen is small as would be expected in a studio, but we were still able to cook full meals for ourselves. France was very gracious, and a considerate upstairs neighbor. There are many beautiful places to walk within a few minutes drives, too!

I had a great stay here. The location is convenient. The property has everything I needed with convenient parking. Easy to get on the highway and enjoy Marin County or a trip to San Francisco or a visit to wine country. The host, France, is available and pleasant to interact with.

5.0 / 5.0
Lovely place in a great location and France was an attentive and gracious host. The studio was clean and the bed comfortable. I stayed here while work was being done at my own house nearby, and with a refrigerator, stove and microwave, I appreciated being able to cook most of my meals at "home".
As someone with chemical sensitivities, I especially appreciated that all bedding and towels are washed "fragrance free" and that all guests who do laundry are required to use only non-scented products. (It sure would be nice if ALL vacation rentals could accommodate people who can't tolerate fragrances, have allergies, or simply dislike reeking of perfumes/chemicals.
5.0 / 5.0
Very comfortable with a rustic, natural feel.
The Bay Area has changed so much, it was nice to stay in a place that reminded me of Marin County as it was when I lived there in the 70's and 80's. -- inhabited by redwood trees and nature-loving people.
A great spot for getting anywhere in Marin or San Francisco.

Very cute place :))
The space was clean and cozy, and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. France was very responsive and helpful to all my questions. My only issue is that there were a fair amount of bugs that flew in through the window, as there were no screens. Otherwise, highly recommend!!

Perfect stay
Beautiful property, very responsive host, and an incredible landscape. We used the place mostly as a crash pad, but it was lovely to have a comfortable, quiet place to rest and have our morning coffee.

Cozy little space in a great location. The owner is quite nice and attentive. Exactly as advertised
The renting experience was super seamless. I received an email prior to my stay with the info that I needed. And, I was able to check in early. Could not have been easier

3 weeks in cooler northern CA
We stayed in France’s studio for 3 weeks. It was conveniently located for us and also provided us the opportunity to explore Kentfield, Ross, Anselmo, etc.
Studio was very comfortable and provided all the essentials we needed. France was responsive to our requests during our stay and provided insights on what to do nearby.
This apartment was one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. The massive redwood outside our windows was great to wake up to. We plan to stay here again soon. And she has a fun dog named Boe.

France is very nice
The neighborhood is very quiet, and the lot is private with some cute outdoor spaces. The unit is vintage but is in good condition and quite functional.

Heat wave
Cute unit in good location ... easy access to Sausalito and surrounding areas. Was a heat wave when we were there ... high 80s/low 90s ... no a/c in unit. There was a fan, but just not comfortable. Opening windows would have helped, but no screen in windows so if we left any open, lots of bugs would fly in and that was no good. Also ... didn’t appreciate the people moving furniture outside stopping outside our bedroom window for a long chat (got pictures) ... just off putting ... wish they would have either gone back inside or gone further down stairs ... having to watch them chat while I was lying in bed was annoying.

Lovely little studio (not so little) with view of Mt. Tam.
Impeccably clean and nicely appointed. Well equipped kitchenette and clean, comfortable bathroom with shower. Giant closest with plenty of space for hanging clothes. Most of all the owner, France, could not be a more lovely, thoughtful or generous hostess. You will love your stay here, as I did.

Perfect location, wonderful host
Thank you France for accommodating our needs and providing everything we wanted. We were able to visit Point Bonita Lighthouse, Muir Woods, and Point Reyes Nat'l Seashore, as well as a local wooded lake area.

This was the perfect property for us.
A lovely studio flat, well equipped, cosy but spacious enough, a charming and helpful owner and for us set in just the area we needed to give us access to all our friends and family who live in Marin, Napa and San Francisco. Absolutely perfect.
We stayed for 16 nights and would certainly return as we conme regularly to Marin from London.
We did find the booking process unnecessarily arduous, we had to make many phone calls to what sound like the far east, but in the end it was brilliant.
We should mention that we have friends who also live in San Francisco which meant that being near the Larkspur ferry was a HUGE bonus as we never had to drive into the city.
