My boyfriend & I stayed at Faustin's place for 3 nights while visiting the Bay Area. It was both of our first time using air bnb & it ended up being such an extraordinary experience, well exceeding our expectations. As Faustin puts it, "your not staying at a Marriott here." The house itself is a bit aged, which adds to the mystique, & the scenery is second to none. This location sits on a hill & is surrounded by crisp fresh air & beautiful majestic redwoods. The stairs weren't nearly as intimidating as I expected after reading some other reviews. It's centrally located so we were able to drive to Muir Woods within 15-20mins one day & another day drive into the city of San Francisco within 35-40mins depending on traffic. The room was equipped with wifi & an iPad for entertainment. She had snacks, oatmeal, fruit, coffee & tea ready in the room for us along with maps of the area. We had open access to the kitchen upstairs in the main area & the living room as well which were equipped with a fireplace & tv. We dipped in the hotub the first night & it was magical to say the least. Natural redwood tub & natural water throughout the property. The first morning, Faustin made a delicious breakfast of spinach & poached egg soup (now my new favorite dish)! We also had the pleasure of meeting with her for dinner at a delicious Indian restaurant one night, where we enjoyed lovely live music played by one of her good friends. Our last morning there was filled with great conversation & we all chipped in & cooked a breakfast of eggs, bacon & coffee. Overall this was the type of experience that travelers live for. Much more intimate & memorable than staying at a hotel. Faustin's home felt very welcoming & enchanting. We are sure we will be back here soon for another visit!

This wonderous space amongst the trees is a must for any adventurer. Faustin's hospitality is rival to my mama's and being from down south that it the ultimate compliment. The room was comforting, with it's down feather comforter and pillows. There are maps for exploring the area as well as plenty of fresh fruit and snacks to munch on. Faustin invites you into her home with no reservations. For the coffee lovers out there like me; you must ask Faustin to fix you her Bullet proof coffee! ;) I hope you enjoy her company and her home as much as I did.

Place was awesome and so was Faustin! I did not spend much time there but wish I would have. A lot of steps up to the rooms so bring everything up with you but worth the hike up.

This was my best AirBnB experience thus far. Faustin has a very cozy, bohemian kind of a place, with a whole lot of character. The room I was in was the only room on the floor and has it’s own entry door, so it was pretty private. Spiral stairs lead upstairs to the living room and kitchen area which I was welcome to use freely. Just outside the entry door is a balcony of sorts with a chair and lots of flowers and other plants…a great area to sit and sip some coffee, maybe do a little reading or contemplating. The bed (I believe a feather mattress) was very comfortable, and the internet was fast and reliable. The shower is a bit cramped and, as others have noted, there is a pretty steep climb from the parking area to the room so if you are a big person, and/or out of shape (and not interested in the exercise) that might be something to consider, although I should note that there is a lift for your luggage. Beyond the room itself, Faustin was a great host and, beyond that, just an super person. Every thing about this place was great. If I ever return to SF, I know where I'll be staying.

quirky but totally comfortable room with a super soft comfy bed guaranteed to give you a good night's sleep. Faustin is very helpful and hospitable.

This was my first Airbnb experience. I picked it based on the description, price, location and reviews. There are numerous steps and a dirt path to get to the room, so be prepared for this. There is an elevator available for luggage/items if needed. Upon arrival, Faustin provided a meal which was a pleasant surprise after a long car ride

This was my first time using Airbnb and everything was great. Faustin was a caring and hospitable host. The room was perfect and the bed was very comfortable. I had a great time and loved my stay. As mentioned in other reviews, there is a walk up some steps and along a trail to get to the room, but that didn't bother me. For those who would be bothered, this may not be the place for them, but for everyone else this room is a great value. I plan to stay there again whenever I go back to San Francisco.

Such a one-of-a-kind experience! Loved every minute of my cozy stay. This is an adventure not to be missed!

Marilla 's cottage by the creek is a dream! Lauren & I spent three magical days in this lovely getaway, exploring the quaint town of Mill Valley & nearby Muir Woods. Marilla is an absolute gem!! We cannot wait to return. It is our new tradition. Thank you Marilla! It is an experience we will always treasure & we can't wait to see you again soon. :)

I spent several wonderful days using Marilla's Cottage by the Creek as my home base during the Mill Valley Film Festival. It's a comfortable and cozy room in a stunning location – inside a redwood grove, just a few minutes walk down the creek to downtown Mill Valley. Marilla herself was a perfect host and wonderfully welcoming. I hope to have a chance to return.

The cottage is such a wonderful, peaceful place. The views from the window and back are amazing! Clean with a comfortable bed and a great shower! Marilla is an amazing host, very friendly and informative. The cottage is a short walk to downtown Mill Valley and just perfect. Thank you so much. We will be back.

We loved our stay in the cottage and was at a perfect location for a wedding we were attending at the Ralston White Retreat. Did not meet Marilla when we arrived but met her the next day and she invited us into your home and offered us homemade chocolate cookies. Due its location and climate of the area the room was more humid than we were used to.

We loved our stay at the Cottage by the Creek! Marilla was such a gracious host and even though we arrived quite late the first night, she was up to show us around the Cottage and show us where was everything was. The location of the Cottage is in a beautiful area with amazing views. It was also nice and cozy especially during the cold weather of our stay. Marilla left us some fresh fruit as well which was a nice surprise. We would not hesitate to stay here again during our next visit to Mill Valley. We highly recommend it.

Marilla is very welcoming and a great pleasure to talk to. The place was great, even better than I expected with extra amenities. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs an escape from the everyday life.

Marilla provided many nice treats and fresh flowers. The description was accurate and the location was in a very quiet part of town.

Marilla was very welcoming and friendly. The setting of her cottage was superb and we really had not expected to be nestled amongst the famous Californian redwoods - what a treat! We found the cottage to be as promoted but had not anticipaed the extra little treats that Marilla provided for us - fruit, chocolate and even flowers during our stay - how wonderful.

Great cottage. As advertised. Lovely touches like chocolates assorted coffees. Beautiful garden and no roosters.

Leslie's guest cottage is beyond charming! It is so comfortable and relaxing that I didn't want to leave! The cottage is clean, quiet, and furnished with a lovely simplicity. It was easy to find and parking was convenient as well. Leslie is an excellent communicator and was very friendly and helpful. I usually stay in an Airbnb when I travel, and this has been my favorite by far!

Leslie's place is a spacious, quaint place to stay. The apartment was ready for check in right at 2:00. Leslie greeted us a bit later and was very kind. We weren't in the apartment much as we were visiting family, but the location made it very easy to access the main downtown Mill Vally, Tiberon, and Saulsalito in just 10- 15 mins. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle any of your basic cooking needs, although we didn't need it. Internet was accessible, but a little slow, if you need ability to download things it may be challenging, but we were able to use whatever we needed while there. We didn't get to see the chickens...maybe next visit. Great place to stay, clean, easily found and accessible. No TV to watch, but we enjoyed our quiet time reading before bed. Bed is in a loft which was easy for us, but if you are challenged getting up and down a ladder you will need to consider that. We will stay again!

Leslie was a wonderful host. She was easy to coordinate with before and during the trip. Really appreciated her restaurant recommendations for the trip, as well as the fresh eggs and beautiful roses from her garden.

Very welcoming and kind.

Leslies place was just as described. Very clean and comfortable. I've stayed in many Airbnb's in the area and rarely are they this spacious and nice. I would certainly recommend this spot.

It was great staying with Leslie on the Farm. The place was very clean and comfortable for my stay in Marin!

This is a very lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. We felt welcomed and I would recommend it.

Thomas' s cabin is located quiet between Redwood trees. It is a very peaceful place and we felt very comfortable. Thomas is a perfect host! He helps wherever he can. We definetly would stay here, if we come back in this area once a time.

Tom is a very good host. He is there when you need him. Very responsive, and treated us like house guests. I had called to ask about coffee and cream. He went and bought the cream and put it in the frig just to be nice. The place is private - not a shared space - which is great. How much you like it will depend on the purpose of your visit. If you want quiet, scenic, private, romantic, etc you will just love it. If you just need a place to rest at night after hiking or sight seeing or visiting friends it will be perfect. It is just a block from downtown Mill Valley - with all of the beauty and character that goes with that. Part of our trip included getting dressed up formally for 2 separate events. This posed a little bit of a challenge for us. It's not a hotel room. It's far better, but for getting ready for something formal it's a little tougher. We loved it and would be happy to stay again!

A great little treehouse vibed space literally tucked in the redwoods at the top of a few staircases. Very quiet and nice. A little fire pit and great shower pressure! Tom was an awesome host and easy to communicate with! I look forward to returning when I am in the SF area.

We really enjoyed staying at Tom's cabin in the woods! It's in a beautiful area on a side street in Mill Valley. We were able to walk just a couple blocks to many shops and restaurants. (Bungalow 44 has $1 oysters everyday from 5-6pm and they were amazing!) Tom was a a great host. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we could have needed, including toothpaste, soap, drinks and even candy! Tom was readily available for any questions or concerns we may have had. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area!

Tom was a great host. Easy communication. We appreciated the early check-in. We enjoyed the record player in the cabin. Place was a short walk to town with great restaurants and shopping.

This place is in the woods and yet so close to town. You could walk into Mill Valley and SF was a short drive. It's almost like camping but without the tent and hassle. The host was so nice. It's not a 5 star place but we loved it.

Has a funky cabin feel nestled in amongst the redwoods, within easy walking distance of downtown shopping and eating -- can't beat the location. Thomas was a great host... good communication and attentive without being intrusive, and has stocked the place with lots of extras to make it a fun experience. Our kids really enjoyed it, though with younger kids you'd want to keep an eye on them with the loft. Unit is very much as described. Price is right. Thumbs up!

so first, the cabin: if you're looking for a place that feels remote but is actually minutes away from civilization, this is the place for you. we made a fire in the fire pit at night and felt like we were camping, then walked to a coffee shop in the morning. it's literally nestled in the redwoods... but only a short drive and you're in SF. the cabin itself is fun and unique. hot water and a fridge and a grill for cooking. the loft bed and ladder were an adventure. and thomas stocked the place with water and wine and beer and candy and plenty of towels and toiletries. there's a kitschy record player to play tunes. it was like a camp getaway with all the creature comforts. which brings us to thomas. what a thoughtful and generous host. so attentive and kind. he literally left midway through the trip to go help with hurricane harvey relief. one of my favorite Airbnb's ever.

Michelle was a perfect host. Very accommodating and friendly. The house has an amazing view. The room was cute and cozy with a comfortable bed. I would highly recommend Michelle's place. You won't be disappointed.

Michele's place is her beautiful home located in the woods above Mill Valley. It has an air of calm and peace, and the view from the balcony across the woods to the mountains is spectacular. Michele is a welcoming host, and the room very clean and tidy with storage available. Note that Michele may have other guests staying and that the bathroom is shared (as described). This however was not an issue for me during my visit, and indeed it was good to meet and talk with other guests too. Some tips: The drive to Michele's house is up hilly, narrow and winding roads. A sat nav is a must to find it. The location is great for access to Muir Woods (must see) - about 10-15 mins drive; Stinson Beach 30-40 mins; Sausilito 20-30 mins and Tiburon 20- 30 mins. I really enjoyed my stay and would love to return

Michelle was great and her house was beautiful up in Mill Valley. We had a view of Mt Tamalpais and were able to hang out with her adorable pets. I only regret that we couldn't stay longer as our flight from SFO was early that morning and we had hiked around teh Muir woods all the previous day.

Michele was an exemplary host. She provided me with one of the best experiences I have had with ABNB.

This home is lovely and easy to find. Great views. I got to meet the dog and cat. They are aloof- like oh hi and then go away. The host was out of town so I was alone most of the time. The weather was cold and my room was cold as well even with the heater on. The home smelled a bit like dog (I have dogs too and work on keeping my home clean of pet hair and smell). I think maybe the host makes the experience better but I didn't get to meet her :/

Nice space. Only problem was her dog. Lovely lab. But barked through the night.

What a beautiful place to stay. And Michele is such a wonderful person to be around. We spent time together in the evening talked about health and life... I hope to make time to be back there and spend more time.

We spent two nights in Michele's home. It was wonderful and peaceful. Michele was very nice and made us feel at home. I really enjoyed her pets as well. We will most definitely stay there again if we are ever in town.

Great place with kind and helpful hosts. The room is private, comfortable and very quiet. We had a great time!

Great place to stay! It was cute and had all we needed. I would definitely stay here again. The neighborhood was really quiet, which is really nice to come back to after exploring the Bay Area.

Easy access to the major roads and attractions in and around Mill Valley. Close to Muir Woods, Saucelito, and 1/2 hour or so to San Francisco. Small but very quiet and very clean. Our first stay in an airbnb and it was a very nice and easy experience.

Angela's place is close to bike trails, hiking, running, etc.. great restaurants and short stroll to downtown Mill Valley.. The place is simple, quiet and very clean.. Parking on Premises

Angela's home was perfect for my trip. The rental unit was very clean, well-furnished and nicely decorated. It includes a mini-fridge (in a room separate from the bedroom, which is very nice if you are sound-sensitive) and a comfortable bed. I appreciated that the rental is separate from the main house and located in a quiet neighborhood. Angela was very responsive with communication and she and her family were kind and friendly. Shopping centers with a market and a bank are nearby.

A great place to stay - quiet, attractive, all as advertised, with lovely host. I highly recommend to stay with Angela!

Base Camp was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. After two long days of backpacking in the Redwoods, this spot was incredibly refreshing and comfortable. In a nice little neighborhood, it's right by San Fransisco and everything you would want to do there, and even closer to Sausalito which has a great bay area with so many great restaurants and shops. We had a very relaxing stay.

My Fiance and I stayed at Angela's place for our vacation. Everything was as described and perfect! We loved how everything was thought out. Base camp has everything we needed and more! The place is immaculate. I loved that there are assorted tea's, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, etc..we brought our mountain bikes with us and Angela provided a safe storage for it. The place itself is very safe. The bed was very comfortable! My Fiance loved thar there is a driveway where we can park our car. This was our first airbnb experience and Angela set the bar high. We will definitely stay at Angela's place again! And hopefully soon!! Thank you !!!!!! Angela!! :)

This was one of the most delightful Airbnb's I've stayed in. Marsha was engaging and warm. She had a lot of terrific information to share. We had a Hawaii connection in common and the Airstream was sheer perfection. Breakfast noshes (fresh raspberries, yogurt, Fiji water), muffins and everything I needed including outlets and chargers was at my fingertips. The location is central to everything and the Airstream is a story unto itself. The yard is gorgeous. The privacy impeccable. Her husband and her son were also equally warm. My only wish is I had more time to spend on the gorgeous deck and in the yard. Definitely an all time favorite. Thank you Marsha for the incredible experience.

What a cute airstream! This retro wonder has everything -- free parking, lots of windows, electric fireplace, TV, big shower, funky red kitchenette and so much fun style! The Heckmans are wonderful hosts. Their instructions are clear, their response time is fast and they're very nice. Mill Valley is a quick drive to San Francisco. We will definitely stay there again! Cheers! Annie

The Airstream was just as described - comfortable, spotless and very private. I was in the area on business and checked in late and left early. Did not have much time to enjoy it. I will be back again when I can stay longer. Wonderful place to stay. The organic yogurt in the fridge and organic berries and muffins on the counter were fantastic! Thank you.

This place is remarkable! Marsha & Floyd have paid so much attention to detail in restoring their AirStream, not only by decorating the place with period-specific pieces but also by creating a very comfortable environment. My wife and I loved the place and will try to stay here again next time we're in the area.

Our stay at Marsha's airstream was wonderful! Our hosts were welcoming and helpful! The airstream itself was such a special place to stay at!

This place is truly one of a kind. So much, that my instinct is to keep it a secret. The attention to detail and the mid century mod decor/design is just special. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. Even the yogurt and berries that Marsha provided were perfect!

While we only had one night at Marsha's, it was wonderfully relaxing. Mill Valley is just full of treasures and the airstream is definitely one of them. The work that Marsha and her family have done with the trailer is amazing: it is fun, cozy, and full of little flourishes to make your stay extra special and comfortable.

Delightfully unique, custom place to stay with wonderful hosts, all geared to make your stay as pleasant and as comfortable as possible.

The place is very beautiful with a nice front patio area. Great quite neighborhood to go on morning walks/runs (our pup loved it!). Very close to a local Safeway and restaurants near by. We ended up walking to the shopping center a couple of times (only about a 15-20min walk). We will definitely be coming back! Cheers!

Liz's place was wonderful! It was exactly how it looked in the pictures, the shower is huge, and the water pressure is great. The studio was clean, smelled good, and even tho its pet friendly (we had our kitty with us too) we were really surprised to not see any pet hair that didnt come fom our girl, not that we would've minded :). Check in was super easy despite us getting there late at night, and the beds were both very comfortable, which was a huge plus since we'd been on the road 10 hours. It was a little hard to find in the dark not being familiar at all with the area, but once the gps got us close the mailbox was clearly marked with the address, and Liz left lights on for us so we wouldn't trip coming up the stairs. The neighborhood was beautiful and my sister and I felt safe. I never met Liz in person, we were in and out the 2 days we were there, but she responded very quickly to any questions we had. I'd love to stay again if we ever make it back the San Francisco area!

Extremely comfortable & welcoming place with everything you need!

Unfortunately, we cannot share the same glowing review that others have posted. The good: The lower flat was clean and well kept. The washer and dryer were great. On short notice, Doug let us borrow lawn chairs and even put them at the door for us. The bad: As others have mentioned, you can hear every step and sound of the owners in their house above the lower rental. You can hear the dogs nails as they run across the floor (which happens OFTEN). The dogs barked some our first night but it was short-lived and no big deal. The second night, Doug left town and had a friend stay over to watch the dogs. The friend left to "get some food" and the dogs (one in particular) barked non-stop for hours. It was after midnight when the friend returned and got the dog to stop barking. The barking started again around 8AM and continued, NON-STOP, until we threw in the towel and checked out at 9AM. We have a dog and two cats and we all consider ourselves animal lovers but we've never experienced anything like this. We've never heard a dog bark non-stop for hours. It completely ruined our stay there and we will likely never use Airbnb again. We could have stayed at the SF Hilton for free using points but we didn't want to vacation out of a hotel. BIG mistake! I should also mention that there are a number of steep exterior stairs that need to be maneuvered to get into the rental. It was a challenge with the luggage. You also have to navigate a number of steep, blind hills and corners to get to the rental. The driving is not for the faint of heart. My wife was a nervous wreck an she was in the passenger seat! Although this rental is advertised as quiet, it is not. I would avoid it unless you confirm that they've gotten rid of the barking dog.

I spent the better part of 2 months staying in Liz's charming lil cottage space w/ my 2 sons & our dog. It was a perfect haven for our needs - quiet, comfortably appointed, well located to all of what's great in Marin & stays amazing cool in heat of spring/summer as its tucked into the hillside. I highly recommend this place & the fabulous hosts.

The stay was very nice. Thank you Liz !! :-)

Loved Liz's place! Located in a beautiful little town so close to great cities. Decorated beautifully. Equipped with anything you might need (including dishes, toiletries, washer/dryer, board games) for an amazing vacation!

Liz made sure our stay in Mill Valley was perfect. It was a great location to get into SF and out to Napa. Comfortable and relaxed, just what we needed. Easily fit 4 people!

The place was so cute and perfect for our stay! It was even nicer in person than the pictures portray. Christopher and Robin were so hospitable and gave us tips on local spots to visit during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Chris and Robin were very helpful and really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Robin & Christopher's as it was a lovely neighbourhood and we were made to feel very welcome.The accomodation was as described.

Not true to pictures. Dirty!

This fit our needs well. Centrally located to experience both SF and recreation areas like Muir Woods and Bonita Headlands. It was easy to find and easy to get in and out of. No mountain roads needed to access which was nice. 5 minutes to highway into SF across the stunning Golden Gate Bridge.

Robin was really really friendly and accommodating when we needed to arrive a bit later. The apartment section was lovely, felt really private and had everything we needed.

It was a great stay with Christopher & Robin . House was clean , peaceful and very quiet . I'd highly recommended.

Christopher and Robin were wonderful hosts and had great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Great location!

Beautiful house an location, very comfortable bed and mattress, everything new and clean. Nancy a very helpful and welcoming host. I definitely recommend this listing

Nancy was very welcoming and open with her home. She was easy to talk to but she also knew when to let us just relax. Overall great host. If she has a spot open, book it!

I booked this listing based on the pictures of the bed and the room. The room in the pictures is not the same room that we were given from the simple fact that there are no windows above the bed itself. My husband has asthma and therefore needs fresh air so we leave a window cracked. That was impossible in this room. Next the bed was nowhere near half as nice as the bed in the picture even though it is described as being "new and much nicer". My husband is 6'5 and I am 5"10, the bed pictures looked nice and high, perfect for us. The bed we came to was grossly misrepresented. It was practically on the floor it was so low, no box frame at all. The "new" bed frame was so creaky we literally couldn't breathe without the bed making a ton of noise. It felt like the entire frame was going to fall apart, thus causing my husband to sleep on a cold wooden floor since he was so uncomfortable in the bed. This was the worst sleeping accommodations I've ever experienced from an Air B&B. Next, we wanted to watch some tv. Then noticed that the tv was glued to the table and there was no power cord for it. It literally was a fake tv for stage homes. When I texted Nancy about it she never replied to me. The day of checkout after we had already left in the morning she replied saying thanks for letting her know about the missing cord. Yet she never texted me the same night of our stay to even address the issue. Odd... Then, the next morning we were attending a retreat which we had to be up early for. I hopped in the shower first and then my husband was going to get in directly after, however the bathroom was immediately hijacked by someone for over 20 minutes after I came out. My husband had to leave without even brushing his teeth or face. As we were leaving, we saw someone come out of the bathroom with cleaning supplies in their hands.. Also as we passed by we saw a towel in the sink indicating that it had been wiped down. Its completely rude and uncalled for to immediately jump in and start cleaning when the second person has clearly not even used the facilities. Beware of the shared bathroom situation if you are considering this place and need to be somewhere in the AM on a time schedule. Its a great area and house is nice, just was extremely misrepresented in terms of the room and actual bed which is important when people choose a listing.

I was cordially received and we exchanged our experience as we knew as a long time. Goin in and out of the house is straightforward and the room as well as the whole location is very nice and clean. There are plenty of things to do and see around Mill Valley (Muir Wood, Muir Beach, Stinson Beach......), so it's a perfect spot to explore the northern part of SFO.

Nancy is very kind and welcoming! My fiancé and I stayed at her beautiful home for the weekend to check out the Mount Tamalpais State Park and Muir Woods. Her location was accessible to both places with a less than 30 minute drive that is full of scenic views. Her home is so comfy and became a very memorable weekend! Plus adorable pets :) My only recommendation is to have the directions to her home before you travel because service is very limited. Nancy provided very detailed instructions that was super helpful in navigating to her place! We would love to visit again!

Comfortable mattress; beautiful back yard; sweet dog and cat; spacious kitchen; busy but responsive host. Easy to find, but Mill Valley is subject to high tides and street flooding (who knew?), so GPS saved us as we had to take a long, circuitous route!

We stayed at Nancy's place for a short time overnight, basically stopping for a shower and bed on our way through town. Overall the place was just fine for our stay, very clean and had everything we needed-towels, very comfy bed, beer in the fridge! There were just two issues we had, one being that when we arrived, there was no guidance on which rooms were which, or which was the bathroom. All doors were shut, and it was a little late so we weren't sure if we would be walking in on someone... The other issue was that the house was kept at a low temperature, which Nancy did warn us of, but after we had booked and were on our way. Just something to note, you'll want to have warm clothes for the house. Other than those two things, our stay was fine for what we needed. I'm sure it would have been great if we had some time to meet Nancy and use the hot tub :)

Nancy's home is beautiful and in a beautiful location. Great value, clean room, and she was wonderful about giving local hiking and eating suggestions. Thanks, Nancy!

As a friendly convenience, the hosts allowed me to come into the home before the normal check-in time, and offered to let me stay a bit beyond checkout, and offered to allow me to leave my bags there until I could pick them up later in the day...neither option became necessary, but was a nice offer on their part...also allowed me to eat their fresh apples from trees in backyard...delicious!

Very nice place to stay. Great hosts really nice people. Extremely clean and very safe. Would highly recommend. Exceptional value. Great location!

Beautiful bathroom and nice room. Lots of public parking available on street. Easy to get in and out of the room and house.

Sandy's place was great! She and her husband were friendly and accommodating, the room was comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend staying here, and hope to again in the future!

Sandy and her husband keep a very clean and comfortable space. The ensuite was recently redone and is very attractive. They are conviently located for hiking, Uber, local walks and easy access to San Francisco. Sandy was very friendly and helpful while also providing for my privacy. I came and went as I pleased and overall this was an excellent choice for a private bedroom/bathroom for a short stay in Marin County. Thanks Sandy!

I had a wonderful experience at Sandy's place. Sandy and Mike are very welcoming and wonderful (enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, too!) I love Mill Valley and Sandy has a beautiful place. I enjoyed having the en-suite private bathroom with the stay as well. I was only there for a few days and was gone for most of the time but truly enjoyed exploring the neighborhoods of Marin County! I look forward to returning soon! Thank you for your hospitality, Sandy!

Convenient spot for visiting the Muir woods, with a nice private bathroom and easy access to downtown Mill Valley. Sandy and her family are really friendly and have lots of suggestions for the area.

Lovely place. Friendly hosts. Looks exactly like the pictures. It's like your own private apartment inside the house.

Chris was amazing! We showed up and he walked us through the place, which was super cute and cozy! He also was so helpful letting us know what areas we should visit and the best places to eat. It was super close to the small town which you could walk too. There's a small coffee shop right there which we went to often. Was amazing! Thank you again Chris!

Very comfy, quiet apartment. Only a few minutes walk from town with several restaurants. Chris is very friendly and has lots of great recommendations for food and activities. Short drive to Muir Woods (wake up early if you want parking). Would definitely return.

What a charming place! This little unit has everything you need. It's tucked away in the back of the house with a totally private courtyard. It's literally one block from downtown Mill Valley. Even though it's so close to downtown, parking was a breeze and plentiful. Chris is a truly lovely host and made sure my stay was perfect. I would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable accommodations...great bed, clean room, coffee and anything else you may need was all there. Very Short walk to downtown and it was a perfect location for our schedule. Chris was available with info and advise. I hope to come back!

Great place, great hosts, great location. We will be back!!

Great location, very central to Mill Valley village and walks in the woods. Very neat and tidy unit at the back of house. A few stairs to navigate make it tricky if you have heavy luggage. Responsive host (Chris).

Great location. Great host.

This airbnb was a little treasure located a stone's throw from downtown Mill Valley, which we fell in love with. Chris was a terrific host who made us feel welcome and could answer any and all questions. The room had everything you could possibly want. The building is a little funky as you walk up several small flights of stairs to the rental.. but there with it's own terrace and comfy bed, tv and all the amenities awaited our home away from home. We'll be back!

Great host, convenient location

I was on a road trip with my sister and my friend, heading toward San Francisco. The stay at James' place was the first night we arrived in San Fran. James' place is very nice and cozy. When we first arrived, James was not home. Instead, his fiancé and their super lovely dog welcomed us. We all LOVE dog! Their big brown dog is super cute and quiet, and very easy to be with. James misread our request of booking and thought our group was only with two people, but he made the sofa bed for us right after he realized we were actually a group with three. They really made us feel at home. :-) It was a short one-night stay but we had a good sleep. James was very communicative and always responded to my messages timely, which made us feel very welcomed and warm-hearted. Parking was easy as well, which was very important to us since we were traveling by car. And also, it only took around 15 minutes drive to get to downtown San Fran. James' place was really the perfect choice for us! Thank you so much, James! :-D

James was personable and easy to communicate with. His dog was very mellow and friendly and we enjoyed our stay. His place is just down the road from a couple of nice breakfast places and a grocery store, which was also convenient.

What a great spot! James and Patricia are warm, relaxed, welcoming hosts. The room is spacious, clean, and quiet. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, with easy parking. And their dog is gentle, sweet, and exceedingly well-behaved. Plenty of eats and services within walking distance. Unbelievably wonderful for the price. Can't go wrong.

James and Patricia were very welcoming. Chinook, their dog, let me pet him and then retreated to his bed. Their apartment is very nicely furnished and very clean, as was the bedroom I stayed in. Their place is right off of Route 1--Shoreline Highway--and on the way to Muir Woods, Mount Tamalpais, Stinson Beach and Point Reyes, so they are in a great location.

The room was pleasant, the atmosphere as well. Checking in went smoothly and we even got to have an interesting conversation in the one eve wing I stayed for. Would come by again if in the area. Thanks James

James was great and made everything really easy for us.

Great!

Staying at Sylvia's place was a wonderful experience. The place is beautiful, nestled in a lovely Japanese garden with places to eat or relax outside. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. They had put some staples in the kitchen and texted us occasionally to ask if we had everything we needed. The house is within walking distance to shops and amenities in Mill Valley and the walk there is spectacular beside a creek and beneath tall trees. You can easily hike to Muir National Monument from the house. I am looking forward to returning for another relaxing and interesting stay.

Perfect stay! It is places and people like this that make Mill Valley so special! The location is perfect! We walked into town for coffee and then walked up Mt. Tam. The place is exactly as described and Sylvia and Alan are such gracious and thoughtful hosts! We hope to be back in the area so we can stay again!

First of all I wish we had had more time in this area - Mill Valley alone have so much to offer. It's a very easy and casual drive 10-15 min drive to Sausalito, and after having spent time here I'm so glad he stayed overnight in Mill Valley rather than right in the touristy hub of Sausalito. It's quite an idyllic small town and Sylvia's home had a quaint and homey cabin like feel - with a charming garden. It is right in the middle of the redwoods and you can smell the fresh pine in the air as soon as you step our of your car. They were so friendly welcoming and helpful with suggestions of places to go and anything we needed. The bed was really comfy too! We cannot wait to return.

Sylvia's place is exactly as described and has plenty of charm and character. If you want to get away from the busy life and noise of the city, this is the place to stay. The place is nicely tucked away in Mill Valley surrounded by forest. The studio is separated from the main house but share the same entrance door/hallway. The hallway leads to the beautiful private garden. You can easily walk into town for dinning and entertainment. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Fabulous place! The photos don't tell the full story. Picture yourself in a neighborhood that is like a redwood park, where you can walk to coffee, restaurants and movie, drive 20 min to golden gate bridge and have great hosts. The suite is private, quiet and beautiful with hand made fixtures. Lovely! Will come again.

Sylvia and Alan are the best of the best. They made us feel so welcome, and their place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable! We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary in their lovely Japanese garden/patio! We loved the scenic walk downtown to the local shops and restaurants.

They were so wonderful and helpful! Such a beautiful place and I look forward to visiting again

I absolutely loved my time at Sylvia's place! Hopefully, I will get the chance to stay there again next time I am in Mill Valley. Their home, the bamboo garden and the attached, but private suite, has so much character. It is an enchanting and tranquil place set among the redwoods. I truly enjoyed spending my down time there. The walk into town along Cascade Drive and through Old Mill Park is like taking a short nature hike and is a great way to start your day. There is so much to see and you will probably want to walk the whole area. After my long days exploring Mill Valley and the nearby parks, trails, mountains, waterfall, etc., it was so nice to have such a comfortable bed waiting for me. Fortunately, I got to spend some time with Sylvia in the bamboo garden, we had some very nice conversations. She is a gracious host and a kind person. She went out of her way to make sure that I had everything I needed and gave me lots of good recommendations for restaurants and nature trails. Everything about this place is amazing!

Nice cosy spot. The heat worked great when it was cold. Well located place. Good sized bathroom. Excellent communication with host

Easy location off of the main highway. Safeway, juice bar, restaurants less than one mile away. Made it easy for a one week commute to SF. Dan was easy to communicate with and responsive.

Dan was incredibly nice to meet and hosted an even nicer suite for my wife and me to stay in. Everything was incredibly clean and organized. The bed was incredibly comfortable and often caused my wife and me to avoid the city just to sleep in a little more! Definitely a must-stay place if you want to stay away from the city!

At the tiny house everything was at hand and showed thought on the part of the owner. Dan met us when we arrived. We shared a common interest and had a very enjoyable conversation. The location is convenient to the expressway and also to Strawberry Plaza and the center of the town of Mill Valley, convenient to markets, stores, coffee houses, parking. We would definitely enjoy returning again.

Neighborhood was residential and next to freeway however road noise was minimal and relatively quiet. Very convenient for jumping on and off freeway in any direction. Listing and pix were accurate. Only negative was lack of seating other than metal folding chairs. Dan answered all questions promptly and offered great recommendations for restaurants. He also gave us a token gift at departure. Overall, we were quite pleased with our stay at Dan's "tiny house".

Perfectly little home.

Fantastic quiet place close to San Francisco, 10 minutes to Golden Gate bridge. Everything is very clean and high standard, very like the stay.

Great value, great place. Only a few miles from the Golden Gate Bridge!

If you want a pleasant basecamp for San Francisco, wine country, Pt. Reyes and points in-between, this is a good way to go for a single person. It is basic but nice (plus good company if you want it). From here, you drive north, south, east or west.

Susan's home is in a beautiful and very walkable area of Mill Valley. I was staying for business in northern SF, and the commute via bus and car was easy and straightforward. The room is quiet and clean, and street parking is straightforward. Susan gives a thorough tour upon arrival. Overall, a good place to crash for a few nights.

Susan is a wonderful host and the room and space is quiet and beautiful. The view from the room of the garden and mountain is stunning. Highly recommended.

The place was very cozy and had everything we needed. Susan was friendly when we checked in and respected our privacy. Felt totally unattached to the main house other than the sound of coffee brewing in the morning. If you're aiming to sleep in you will be woken up by the sun but it is a beautiful view to wake up to. Would definitely stay there again!

Susan's place is in a nice area of Mill Valley with a good layout and lovely garden view. However, I did not have a good experience, as there was a serious mold smell due to water intrusion issues I was not warned about. Moreover, this room was not private as it was represented. I found Susan's ex-husband in my supposedly private bedroom doing his laundry, with all my belonging lying out and about, without any notice, without my permission and no explanation. I thought it was inappropriate and worrisome. I left early due to these issues.

Susan's place is just lovely. It's a comfortable stay for two and a short ride to downtown. Plus the best host ever - Susan is so warm, thoughtful and responsive. Would recommend her place to anyone who visits Mill Valley!

It was a pleasure staying at Susan's place. The room was luxurious and very agreeable, with large windows giving out on one of the most beautiful garden's I've ever seen. The flowers were in bloom in the early spring when I stayed there, and the pictures don't do justice to what an idyllic place this is. Sue was very accommodating, making the check-in easy, and she had made sure before I arrived that the room had everything I could possibly need. The room is very private, with its own entrance on the garden and a bathroom of its own. I love Mill Valley, so it was a pleasure to be there with the mountains on the horizon, the stars bright at night, and any number of hiking and bicycling paths all around. Susan't place is also a couple of blocks from a Whole Foods and a number of good restaurants, so the practicalities were easy. Overall one of the most beautiful Airbnb places I've stayed at.

Though I only have the opportunity of briefly meeting Susan, she was a thoughtful host. The room is spacious, bright and welcoming. Susan provided all relevant information on a typed sheet that was waiting for me in the room. It was appreciated having my own private bathroom in the suite. All spaces were immaculately clean. Susan was responsive with all communication. I recommend staying in Susan's home to anyone traveling to the area.

Ben & Rachel were excellent hosts. Not only do they live a our-home-is-your-home ethic, but they invited me to view (with grace, and no pressure) and share both their creative efforts and their food. I had a lovely time exploring the woods, creeks and hills around their "treehouse," and felt ever-welcome when my wanderings were done and I arrived back at their house. These two really embody a healthy lifestyle in all their doings, from their welcoming & grateful attitude, to their interested outlook. Already, I'm entertaining the idea of my future returns.

Ben and Rachel were excellent hosts and very kind. The space was exactly as advertised, and we enjoyed our stay very much. I highly recommend this space.

I loved my stay with Ben and Rachel. I would definitely recommend to those who want a relaxing stay away from society and to be immersed into solitude and nature. -Cozy, comfortable, and super relaxing -Location: perfect for what I wanted. In the middle of the woods next to really nice and easy trails that have beautiful waterfalls. I wanted to get away for peace and quiet. This was the perfect place to do so. Worth every penny. :)

What a dream home. My partner and I had the most amazing day eating a picnic by a waterfall in Cascade Falls, napping in the hammock right in front of the treehouse, and spending an amazing night in such a peaceful and truly nourishing home. Thank you for everything Ben & Rachel. I know we will be back.

Ben and his fiancee were sweet and gentle hosts. The place is very Zen and yoga inspired. Very peaceful and regenerating. Room is upstairs, very comfortable, quiet with beautiful views of Redwoods. Bath and shower are downstairs. Would recommend for any soul looking for a respite from the world's hectic pace.

This place is very special. So close to a busy, metro area and yet so isolated and secluded. To go from 5 lanes each way on highway 101 to 1 lane on Cascade Dr is quite a contrast. In some ways difficult to reconcile but, overall, a very rewarding visit. Unfortunately, we had to leave before we had planned. Hopefully, we will get a chance to continue our exploration of Mill Valley soon.

It was a great time to live Ben 's house. Nice and beautiful. We really love that. And they are very friendly people. Hope someday could come back this wonderful place

We very much enjoyed the seclusion, and the small stream running right past the window. Beautiful space! Will definitely be back when I am back in the area.

Mary's studio is just as advertised -- private, cozy, convenient to downtown Mill Valley and a great starting point for exploring Marin County and beyond. You get a parking space in the carport and the studio is right underneath it. I found the bed (there are actually two single beds put together) to be exceedingly comfortable. For the price and location, a no-brainer.

This was our first air bnb experience and we were really nervous and didn't know what to expect. Mary greeted us and explained everything. The space was beautiful (inside and outside), clean, and she was a very accommodating host. Construction was going on in her neighborhood but she was quick to provide alternate directions without us even asking! She responds quickly to messages as well for any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience to open our eyes to this wonderful world of air bnb.

My friend and I had a wonderful stay in Mary's studio. The studio was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The redwoods that surround this studio are so beautiful. They really took our breath away every time we stepped foot outside our door. We loved that this studio offered both the seclusion and peace of the red woods while being only a 5 minute drive or 15 minute hike from downtown mill valley. Mary was super sweet and was there to welcome us in and gave us great pointers about the area. Thank you, Mary for a wonderful stay!

Mary's studio was a perfect option for me during my stay in Mill Valley. The studio was exceptionally clean and organized with everything I needed for a 5 night stay. I enjoyed all of Mary's tips not only verbally, but what was written out for me on the manual upon my arrival. This facilitated me exploring much more than I originally planned. The bed and pillows were perfect fore me and I enjoyed the quiet nights the neighborhood offered for sleep. I found the neighborhoods enjoyable to walk and explore. I look forward to another stay at Mary's studio for a future visit to California!

Mary was a kind, gracious, and lovely host. Her "treehouse" in the redwoods was everything we thought it would be. She left helpful instructions and maps that really allowed us to explore and feel like locals for a few days. We hiked in Muir Woods, visited the beach, and shopped in town. The studio space was just what we needed to relax at the end of the day. Can't say enough positive things about this experience.

Mary's b&b was a quiet, comfortable space that allowed us to explore Marin with ease. It's blocks from the Dipsea trail and minutes from downtown Mill Valley. Mary was very communicative and accommodating throughout our visit.

Mary's place is very cute, quaint, and peaceful. Plus it's only a short walk to downtown Mill Valley or Muir Woods, meaning this Airbnb has a perfect location. I look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful accommodation. Highly recommend. Wonderful host and fantastic value
