Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

Pool, Hot tub, Napa, SFO Clean
The place was clean and beautiful. We needed a home away from home while construction was going on at our place. And found it here.

Unreal Beachfront Marin Getaway!
A group of lifelong friends and I meet once a year for a long weekend to catch up, decompress, and spend time together. We chose San Francisco this year and after hunting on AirBnB we stumbled across this estate on JAR Farms. The host Nikki was proactive, helpful, and responsive. We arrived on Wednesday and drove to thru the gate into a lush oasis. The pictures on the listing didn't do the property justice. We arrived at the guest house to a welcome gift of wine, local honey, and snacks. We were a group of 6 adults and the guest house was cozy yet a perfect size for a reunion of friends. We were given a tour of the property showing us the boat house/beach, grand staircase to the bay overlook, the pool house (pool and hot tub), gardens, bee hives, and the many trails on the property. The mornings we hiked Monahan Trail at the adjacent Old St. Hillary's Preserve. In the afternoons we enjoyed the hot tub and a nice bbq dinner. Perfect weekend! HIGHLY recomended. Will be returning!

Cactus House & Suite: 4 bedroom 3 bathroom
Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

Hill Top Spa Retreat
Job’s place is a true gem. The pictures dont do the place justice. Its beautfully decorated with excellent amenites both in and outside the house. The view is unbeatable and the locaion is so peaceful. The pool house was one of the top highlights. Job was a very helpful host and super responsive to our requests. I would definitely come back here. Thank you Job for sharing your place with us

MCM Waterfront Pool/Hot Tub between SF and Napa
Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

Bay Area Refuge- Waterfall/Cave Spa, Amazing Views
The Treehouse was a perfect getaway for a family of 8 adults and one child. Surroundings were beautiful. Nature was plentiful. The place had great amenities, kitchen well stocked, and the pool and hot tub one of a kind of !! We all had a great stay !!!

Modern NEW Remodel Home with Bridge View
This is a very conveniently located house, near the restaurants and shops of Solano Avenue and the Albany Hill Park, and very close to the Albany entrances to the freeways. The front of the house looks over the freeway to the bay with vistas to Marin, the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco. While it is very close to the roads, the house is well sound-proofed. The bedrooms are especially quiet. The house is clean and recently renovated. All in all a good value.

Cozy Urban N. Berkeley Studio
My daughter and I loved our stay in this space. We found it very cozy. It’s within walking distance to so much while also being in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I would gladly stay here again on a future trip back to the area.

Wake up to SF & Bay views in cozy two-story house
Was a beautiful home to spend our trip to San Pablo. The house was warm and cozy and it wasn’t too far from SF or where we needed to go. Was a great neighborhood. The house was easy to find and we enjoyed our stay a lot!!!

Modern Vintage Garden Bungalow
Loved our stay at this charming and contemporary home! Walking distance to everything: restaurants, boutiques, bars, Cal. And fun to come home to: great beds, kitchen, living areas and cozy backyard! Hostess provided alllll the little things to make us feel at home from the moment we settled in: coffee, tea, snacks, fully stocked kitchen and linens. Just awesome after a long day of traveling! Hope to stay here again on our next Bay Area getaway!

Mid-Century, Stunning, Views
Worked for a family with three adult sons having a bit of time together. Nice combo of indoor and outdoor space.

High ceiling, clean&private, near Berkeley+SF+Napa
We loved staying here! First, the place was extremely comfortable, spacious, and beautiful. It had everything we could need for a longer stay and felt like our own space due to the privacy and easy access with coming and going. The location was great. I was commuting regularly and enjoyed being just a few minutes walk away from BART. We were also near some great bike rides. Sonha and her husband were exceptional hosts, always ensuring we had what we needed, plus more. I felt like we could easily get in touch with them whenever. We felt particularly lucky with how welcoming they were, even inviting my husband on a bike ride after discovering that was one of his interests. I feel like Sonha’s communication was perfect and always at the same level we brought. Overall, this was one of my best Airbnb experiences and Sonha’s place is definitely our first pick next time we’re back!

El Cerrito Hills Retreat
We had an amazing stay at Kathleen’s listing. The views of the city and bay were simply incredible. Clear views of the Golden Gate and Oakland bridges on a clear day. The pictures don’t do it justice. The back patio was our favorite spot on the property. My kids enjoyed watching the hummingbirds flying thru the garden. A very peaceful place to enjoy the views. The beds were very comfy with plenty of bedding and pillows. Good street parking and a private parking spot in front of the garage. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Fresh Renovated 1 br in Albany by Plaza and BART
I have stayed at Puck’s place quite a few times and always find it clean and neat. The location is convenient for restaurants, grocery stores, BART and freeway. Puck is easy to reach and very helpful and I definitely will stay there again. I recommend Puck’s place if you are in the East Bay.

Walkable mid-century 2BR w/views & rooftop deck
Amazing location and lovely home! We are so grateful to have stayed here with our dog and son while he attended a UC Berkeley camp. So many great places to walk to. The office was a huge plus as we worked remotely while there. We will be back!

My stay at Brigitte’s was pleasant. My daughter and I enjoyed the hot tub plus very quiet and comfortable nights. Brigitte always responded and communicated promptly. Absolutely anything that was needed was there. No need to look any further. We will definitely book again if necessary.

Bay View Beauty with Fireplace
Elke is a wonderful host. The house was perfect for us. 2 nice bedrooms and bathrooms and a great living space and kitchen. Good location, close to great hiking. If you are looking for something in the East Bay near Richmond/El Cerrito, Ekle's home is wonderful.
