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.
