Wonderfully relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Very private, quiet, lovely place to stay.

Very nice place. Booking and stay were so easy.

This apartment was perfect for our stay, well-appointed with interesting decorative features. The owners were attentive and thoughtful. A welcome note and snacks were waiting when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped including spices and coffee. The washer & dryer was a plus and a big bonus for us was the use of the Tesla charger overnight. Loved the original outdoor artwork. San Rafael's location makes it convenient to the city or head north to Muir Woods or wine county.

Don't hesitate to book Steve and Susan's place. It is as beautiful as the pictures. The space is very well equipped for two people. My husband and I stayed for five nights and felt very at home. If you want to cook some of your meals, the kitchen has everything you need. The bed is very comfortable. The location is great for doing a variety of things in the Bay area. My husband and I went to Napa, Muir Wood and Beach, did a tour of San Francisco (we took the Larkspur ferry instead of driving), and spent time in the cute San Rafael downtown area. We also had the privilege to meet Steve and Susan and they are great people.

My friend and I spent a few days in this lovely and very comfortable space. The setting was beautiful and it was a great central location for visiting Muir Woods, Napa, Point Reyes and Tomales Bay. The hosts have created a peaceful retreat for their guests. Highly recommend!

On the hillside among the trees was this beautiful maintained guesthouse. It was so comfortable and quiet. Special bonus was the outdoor art and sculptures.

We highly recommend this home for your stay. It was well stocked, homey and great location!! Communication with owners was great. Thank you Steve and Sue!

We stayed at Sue and Steve's suite for 10 nights. As mentioned in the other reviews, there is lots of beautiful art, stylish furnishings, large windows, and a well-stocked kitchen. The place was very clean, comfortable and peaceful. The hosts were friendly and attentive, while also providing complete privacy. We truly enjoyed our stay!

We loved this property. Everything was clean and well kept and the views were so peaceful. The metal sculptures placed around the property were beautiful. We will definitely come again to stay!

There is not enough high praise we can give to the hosts, Sue and Steve. They are so thoughtful and gracious--they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They anticipated our needs but were never intrusive. Their gracious hospitality is beyond words—I’ve never had hosts as thoughtful, gracious, responsive, and accommodating as Sue and Steve. We LOVED the beautiful space--we were immersed in nature (we saw deer walking alongside the property) and beautiful art. It is one of the most beautiful and comfortable vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed at and I've stayed at numerous vacation rentals for work and for leisure travel. We are WOW’d by all that Sue and Steve did to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. We were fortunate to meet them on the day of our departure and they were just as warm and gracious in person as they were in our email and text exchanges. Thank you, Sue and Steve, for making our stay SPECTACULAR!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful private cottage in San Rafael. Its location is close to everything in Marin County as well as San Francisco. Well stocked with snacks, bottled water and a welcome note, we appreciated the stellar hospitality.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay! It was peaceful and beautiful. We loved the big windows, the decor, the fireplace and all the thoughtful details like snacks and shampoos etc. We'd love to return. Just as a heads up, the roads to get there are a little scary (winding, size of a 1-way but meant for 2-way). But worth navigating for the stay!

We have stayed at many guest properties over the years. The home at 120 Coleman in San Rafael is, far and away, the best. The private apartment is beautifully appointed, immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully supplied. It is situated in a lovely natural setting. Sue and Steve, the homeowners, could not have been more generous and helpful - from lovely welcoming treats to their quick responses when we had a brief internet problem. Parking on site is very convenient. The location is just moments from downtown San Rafael and an easy drive to other sites in Marin. You won’t find a better place to stay.

Awe inspiring beauty in this little gem tucked away in the hills of San Rafael. The hosts were extremely gracious and non intrusive. The property is dotted with some incredible sculptural art pieces and photographs. The on line photos accurately depict the apartment. Highly recommend this magical nest for couples. Will most definitely return.

Sue’s and Steve’s home is beautiful and comfortable. The hosts were very gracious and welcoming. Marvelous views. We saw a family of deer outside our window. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful, comfortable apartment in San Rafael hills. Check-in was easy and efficient. Queen-size bed is comfy. Laundry on-site. Easy access to Hwy 101. Hosts left us a welcome basket of snacks and note with their contact information in case anything came up or provide recommendations on things to do and places to go in the area. Highly recommend!

I've rented a lot of vrbo's and this is the first one where the rental was just as nice, if not nicer, than the pictures. The great room was spacious and although the kitchen looked small in the pictures, there was actually plenty of counter space. Everything was very clean and in great condition. I loved the stylish decor and art displays - inside and outside! The couch was very comfortable and the TV was easy to use. Steve and Sue provided excellent instructions for operating everything and also a lovely snack basket. I would usually see them in the garage or driveway when I was coming and going and they always asked me if I needed anything. They do a great job of taking care of their renters without being obtrusive. This house is in a beautiful location in the hills close to hiking and walking trails and you can even walk to downtown San Rafael. Be prepared to walk down a steep driveway and steps to access the rental. The roads can be narrow and winding, so I think the best way to get there is to take Laurel Pl. to Robert Dollar Dr.

This place looked great in the photos and exceeded expectations once we got there. It was clean and had everything we needed for a week long stay. Definitely recommend it!

This apt was perfect for exploring the local area. The decor was lovely and the hosts were thoughtful. We attended a wedding in Oakland, visited family in SF, visited the Muir Woods and several wineries. Local restaurants were yummy!

I highly recommend staying with Steve and Sue if you're looking for a comfortable and convenient location near the San Rafael/San Francisco Bay/Napa area. My husband and I recently spent nine nights in their beautifully decorated, amenity filled apartment. Privacy was not an issue even though the home owners live on the upper level. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities to prepare meals (spices, appliances, cutlery, utensils, etc.) I really appreciated the choice of two coffee makers. I was able to enjoy a cup of coffee immediately upon arrival after a long day of traveling because Steve and Sue provided all the necessary supplies. The location is convenient to the 101 highway which is the main route to all destinations in the area. We spent many days adventuring in San Francisco, hiking in the hills, and visiting family. We would definitely stay with Steven and Sue again!

Our stay was lovely. The hosts were very responsive and also afforded us a lot of privacy since they are on site. The rental was great, very easy to feel comfortable in and very convenient. We would love to go back soon! One thing to note is if you have an orthopedic problem it might be difficult to manage the entryway into the rental.

This apartment had all the amenities of home, it was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and contained everything needed in the kitchen to cook all your meals. The views from the living room were beautiful, making it feel like an oasis.
