Good place a bit far from san fran no shower. Really nice room though.

Host is very friendly, and place is neat and clean... And a nice heater kept it cozy on a cold night. Very nice neighborhood, and easily accessible. Thank you so much for accommodating a very last minute booking!! Much appreciated!!

A simple and clean room. No shower bathroom but great price.

Great value

Phillip is a great guy and very friendly. The room he provides is very large and clean. You really cannot ask for more. I would definitely stay here again.

A great place , phil is a excellent host , he was always watching us ; return without hesitation.

It was a very nice stay. We spend there 2 nights and I choose this room to be close to the airport. Nice and clean room for very good price. The only thing is the loud music during the night but we were so tired that it did not even bothered us that much. Thank you.

This is my go to when I'm in the Bay! Thanks Phil!

This was literally the best air bnb experience I have ever had, and ever will have. They provided me with a 5 star PLUS++ experience that I never could have expected. Not only was the casita beautiful and amazing in every way, (they also have hulu with no commercials!) they provided us with the best food I have ever had. Restaurant quality, three course dinner that started with me simply asking the host if they knew a place that i could order pizza from. He then make us pizza with homemade everything, including the herb dough and sauce, pie and cocktails. Breakfast was provided to us in the morning as well, and it was perfect. Thank you again!!

If airbnb ratings could go as far as ten stars I would rate Dejan and tims place 10 stars all around. They are the ideal airbnb hosts who want you to have the best time in their lovely abode. I have never gotten breakfast or the same hospitality tim and Dejan have shared to me and my girlfriend. They are an amazing group of people who do nothing but make sure you are comfortable and having a great day whether it be a joke or even a cup of coffee in the morning. I highly suggest this airbnb to everyone who visits the Oakland SF area as it is conveniently close to the city and many hip restaurants Don't miss out on an airbnb like this, just stop reading my review and just click book, you won't regret it.

If there were bonus stars, Dejan and Tim would get them. Perfect host, beautiful decor, comfy bed, great communication and thoughtful kind people. I was greeted with coffee, breakfast, homemade pie and joyful smiles this morning. That was a great way to start a day. It is the little things that make our stays special, and Dejan made sure there were plenty of them. What great souls these two are. I am grateful to add them to my "great people I have met in my life" list.

Had a wonderful stay. Everything was exactly as described and super clean. Bed was very comfortable and shower relaxing. Dejan helped us with navigating the BART. Wonderful host!

I love their chateau in the back of the house. It's new renovation, clean, and HUGE ... with all of the amenities. So quiet at night. Your own heating/cooling unit or sleep with the window open and catch the wonderful breeze. The only bad part is Dejan books up fast!

Dejan was a wonderful host! He provided us with amazing food and smoothies! Definitely made our stay very plesant!

Amazing!!!!!! They treated us like more than guests, friends. I felt at home! Everything clean, tidy, smelly, organized .. We do not even have a reason to complain. We even had breakfast, barbecue and snack .. all with great care! Thanks for everything!!! We certainly had a wonderful experience !!!! I'm going to miss San Francisco, but I'm going to miss this house too!!

I am going to break this review into several parts. 1.sThe Property - A lovely bungalow located in the rear of the host’s main house. The bungalow is very tastefully decorated and appointed. The photos shown in the listing do not do the property justice. The artwork hung in the bungalow, done by one of the hosts, is truly amazing. The amenities in the bungalow are first class, including high speed Wi-Fi access and a smart TV with premium stations available. Parking on the property is secure. The bed in the bungalow was a dream to sleep on. While the bungalow is only about 500 square feet, the manner in which it is furnished and decorated makes it seem larger. A huge walk-in closet was a plus. Never felt safer in any property we stayed in. 2.sThe Area - Very convenient to downtown Hayward and access to major highways. A short ride (<5 minutes) to Hayward Bart Station. Hayward has many fine restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines. 3.sThe Hosts - Dejan and Tim are the by far the best hosts we have ever encountered in any vacation rental property. Because of flight issues we were delayed in arrival and did not arrive until the wee hours of the morning, but unit was ready and cold bottles of water were waiting for us. During the delays in arrival Dejan stayed in touch with us. Staying in this property was like staying in a high end hotel. During our time with Tim & Dejan, we were treated to homemade pie (twice), homemade ice cream, latte’s, homemade yogurt, and some truly outstanding homemade calzones. The interaction with our hosts was great, they have a wealth of information on the area and California in general. And if you want to know anything about the Sonoma area ask Tim. The interactions were not intrusive and they showed a complete respect for our privacy. Having spent time with them was a highlight of the trip. Both Tim and Dejan welcomed us like family. Our next trip to this area cannot come soon enough, this is a must stay at property. If Airbnb has a hall of fame or a top 10 host list these hosts should be at the top. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Is. Thank you Dejan & Tim..

Super kind host, nice experience.

It's a great place to be there in SF!

The pass very well the house is comfortable and clean style of 80s. The neighborhood is very quiet to walk or sleep peacefully. Mark is a very cool person and gives you the freedom to do whatever you want in your home and help you in whatever you need. You have near several restaurants and shopping malls as well as Bart. Definitely go again.

Convenient place to stay if arriving late or departing early out of Oakland airport. Mark is super friendly and helpful.

Mark is a great host and took well care of us. Very friendly, helpful and welcoming! We recommend him.

Mark is a great guy. Easy to get along with and very welcoming. Great place to stay.

Mark's place was a perfect first stop in our road trip, arriving at the international airport of SF during the evening and wiling to hit the road right away to visit Californian national parks. We enjoyed Mark's friendliness and simplicity, who offered us a beer and a delicious pasta plate (he is a chef, but don't tell to everybody ;-) We highly recommend Mark's place.

Wonderful stay! Mark made me feel right at home. The best part was the flexibility with coming and going -- I was out working late nights and early mornings and Mark always assured me I was never disrupting them. Freshly ground and brewed coffee in the morning at the touch of a button was so lovely!

Tim is a good host. Doesn't bother you, just let's you live.

As always, Tim is great host and has a really nice location.

As it as been since January, outstanding.

Stay was as great as it has been since January.

Great

My stay, as it's been for a few months now is awesome. Tim is an great host.

He is a terrific host.

My stay has been great. Tim is an excellent host and has a lovely home.

Cute little to be in the east bay, very comfy, clean and convenient. Definitely was a challenge to try to stay quiet because I had plans for the night and I didn't want to bother the tenets next door. Overall, great host and stay, will probably do it again.

Excellent place. It's attached to the main house but feels like it's own unit-very spacious for a studio and very quiet. I would love to book again.

Very kind host. Gave us privacy. Space was clean, open, and comfy.

Very spacious studio with bathroom, kitchen, and beautiful view. TV with basic cable. Close to Lake Chabot, 14th St business commercial district, and Castro Valley. Good freeway access. Recommend Frodo Joe's for breakfast crepes, and excellent brewries Drake's and 21st Amendment.

Mi's is a very special, artistic host that makes you feel at home in her very comfortable oasis. Thank you! And until we meet again!

Very quiet, clean and comfortable. Have a nice view.

This has been one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed at! Its a great sized studio thats completely private. The host made sure the place was very clean and I felt like I was at home. This home also had a nice view of the city at night. Parking was decent. The price was a steal given the quality of the place. I would suggest this place to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in the East Bay.

Everything all rights

Vala was extremely helpful with anything we asked. She was able to give us different ideas for places to visit and was very quick with her responses. Thanks Vala!

Safe area. Easy to check in. Cozy house! Five stars to recommend!

Vala provided a very comfortable and private experience for us. The room and bathroom were spotless and lovely. You could really see the hardwork she put into setting the atmosphere of this space. It felt very homey and inviting. Thank you for an extremely pleasant stay, Vala! We will be back. (:

Vala, Thanks for having us. The stay with you was good and we enjoyed San Francisco.

Wonderful host and place, room is exactly as described and seen in pictures. Location is good too. Would recommend without any hesitations. Thanks Vala!

Shower products also have lots of towels I think more so cold haeteotneunde Nice to do use heat fans in the room weak joteulgeot tuned, we hasyeoseo too good too kind

Vala is a very friendly host. Her place is very spacious and clean. The neighborhood is quite safe and quiet. We did appreciate the Wifi, the microwave and the parking space. We had a very pleasant stay and we recommend staying here.

This place is very close to the bart station and close to pretty much everything else. I stay here because it was close to the Oakland Airport and I needed to spend the night for an early flight. Also, the internet is extremely fast too.

This place is one the best ones I have stayed at. Almost hated to leave the clean comfortable queen size bed and the modern kitchen. Sak has done everything possible to make this your home away from home.

Very good location. Close to Bart station, shopping mall, movie theatre and 24h fitness.

He is a good guy

Great spot to stay while I was looking for more permanent housing - right by the BART, clean and quiet. Thanks!

Sak was very correct and all the information regarding the house and its location is correct. S. Lorenzo does not have any attraction for the tourist but it is his communication with S. Francisco, half an hour in the Bart. Everything consists of comparing quality and price of one area with another. The trip of the Bart supposes 10 $ round trip. I was very agusto in house of Sak. Great service for washing and drying clothes in own house. The most successful for the traveler.

Great place, a little noise because of the traffic, but it is acceptable.

This is a great place for anyone who needs access to BART or to the city by simple highway system. The house is a great value, very clean and comfortable. Overall I would recommend this place to any business traveler.

Nice and quiet place. The interaction with Zhenhua is on a friendly and short base. I can nothing but recommend this place if you are looking for a big room with a nice modern bathroom on a quiet base.

Nice host,brand new room,you can have a good sleep after a tired day.

Zhenhua and his family are wonderful hosts! Zhenhua has been working on the house so there is brand new wood flooring, in the room and around the house. The private bathroom looks to be new, I imagine it was remodeled within the past year. There is a huge closet with a great amount of space for your stuff! Really, like this closet is huge! Zhenhua will respond in a very timely manner to any inquiries or concerns. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would totally consider coming back to stay in this room in the future!

The hosts are very responsive. I like the stay very much. You kind of have private entrance from backyard. The place is roomy and the private bathroom is great!

The place was really good, it was a pleasant staying there for a month and the family was really nice

Zhenhua's room was really nice. He had brand new carpet, the bathroom looked recently remodeled, and overall it was a great experience. The neighborhood was very quiet while also being close the local freeways and the BART. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Place was very clean and nice. Everything was as described. Zhenhua and his family are very helpful and nice people.

The suite is an recent extension of Mr. Hua's single family home in the big backyard. It is clean, smart, bright and spacious for two. The Hua family members are friendly and the place is very quiet (by the way, if the picture of the chicken that you see in the description worries you, it is not a problem. They are very quiet too). Access to the kitchen is easy.

Jose is a great host. I didn't pass long time at home but he helped me a lot. I arrived early but it didn't problems because he helped me. The house is really cleaned and the bedroom is to good.

I'm very glad that i decided to rent this room. The room is amazing! Very neat, comfortable, clean and cozy. The house is really nice with great housemates. Jose is a very nice, friendly and interesting person. I have felt here really like at home.

Jose lives with 2 other guys (maybe 3) in a beautiful house in San Lorenzo. It's about a 20 minute walk to the BART and a mall. The house itself is very clean and usually really quiet. Jose is accommodating of most needs and is generally just a text message away from meeting. I stayed at Jose's place for a month.

Jose is a fantastic host. His house is clean and well equipped. The room has basic cable and a comfortable bed. Jose is well setup for hosting with dedicated, fidge, freezer and cupboard space. The BART station is truly a 10-15 min walk or $4 Uber if you are feeling lazy! Thanks Jose for an enjoyable stay!!

The place is a great spot for a professional, especially those new to the area. Plenty of space, and José was kind enough to clear out full shelves in the fridge, freezer, and pantry for my use; made me feel right at home! José himself is a wonderful host! Very respectful of privacy, and very considerate of his guest. This is technically my second stay (I extended my first stay). I would have stayed longer, but somebody beat me to it. I can't say it enough: thanks, José!

José is very accommodating and considerate, and a pleasure to speak with. The room is a quiet retreat from the city, and was such a good spot, I signed up for another month!

Beautiful home. Very comfortable.

Jose is a very friendly guy,his house is super clean and he makes sure that you have everything.

Great house, even better than the pictures. House in the Mid-levels, very unique detached, master bedroom and guest room are upstairs, downstairs, and do not disturb; elegant room decorated living facilities; out is a very beautiful garden, in the garden , panoramic view of the Bay Area. Owner is very considerate, even casually asked our coffee machine, the owner will be very careful to buy a new one in the kitchen, people really touched. The family has two dogs, very, very cute, is then more. Before leaving the night before, just met a large moon, beautiful, Mid-shot at the door for an hour, take a lot of good photos. Also drove out to San Francisco for an hour. Travel to San Francisco, the Bay Area in particular, if the car, then definitely consider renting.

Beautiful views! Lots of space, very pretty patio and the house is very clean. Olga and her daughter are wonderful hosts!

Very pretty and clean home! Really enjoyed myself!

Olga was great on communication. She checked with me to make sure we were coordinated on arrival time. Her daughter gave me the key and showed me around. Olga and her family were very friendly - there was a note within the unit with info needed for WiFi and a restaurant recommendation (that I didn't have time to check out). The unit is huge! It has a washer and dryer right inside of it. They had a coffee maker available, plus stocked the pantry with coffee and tea. That was a welcome surprise The neighborhood is a quiet, residential area. I was able to walk my kitty when I got home early enough from the work (she walks on a leash, no kidding). The unit itself has great view of the bay. It faces the backyard so you can hangout and enjoy the scenery.

Nice place. All perfect

Olga's place is very cozy and well equipped, everything was exactly like we expected.

Our first experience with Airbnb. Without limiting a very positive experience. Everything was as described for us, nice functional chosen wisely means, clean and comfortable. Thanks Olga

Olga and Katerina are amazing hosts, vey thoughtful and flexible. They accommodated my in-laws who arrived late from the airport, everything went extremely well. The place is very clean, with an amazing view of the Bay Area. The hosts were very respectful of our space, they still checked in with us but were never overbearing. She responded promptly to our emails. Olga's place is in a central location that's very close to the freeways, it was very easy to get to and from. We liked that it was quiet and truly felt like 'home away from home.' Its exactly as described, very roomy with a private kitchen, bathroom and access to common areas. We definitely highly recommend Olga's place to anyone visiting this area.

My stay was awesome. Art's cabin is very private and easily accessed. It's close to the highway and surrounded by eateries. Art' s quick responses coupled with the cleanliness of his listing made my time there superb. I would most definitely recommend using him for anyone looking for lodging in the area.

This comfortable place is exactly as advertised. The host is welcoming and attentive to guests' needs. I also enjoyed walking through the neighborhood.

Art is a fantastic host and his home is in a safe, quiet and extremely peaceful neighborhood that is close to downtown San Francisco and various bars, restaurants, and other scenic destinations. The apartment itself is clean, quiet and cozy. I had everything I needed and enjoyed staying in such a fantastic location. I never met Art in person but he was incredibly communicative and made sure I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. I would 100% stay with Art again during my next trip to California.

The unit is very clean, lovely and cozy. Convenient location. Close to the market and freeways. Art gave very detailed and good instructions for the check-in, stay, and check-out process. I would love to book at his place again in the future.

Everything about this place is great! Very beautiful and cozy. Art is also such a kind and helpful person and so are his parents! You will fall in love with this cute little getaway

Art was a great host. He was very quick to respond and clear in his communications. His place is in a very quiet neighborhood and offers great privacy. You can come and go without disturbing anyone thanks to coded locks. I loved the neighborhood and would stay here again given the opportunity.

Loved staying at Art's cottage! The location was perfect for us as we were only minutes away from family. The cottage was private and in a family friendly neighborhood. Ideal location for being outside of the hustle and bustle of San Francisco and Oakland yet only a short trip away. Simple amenities (water bottles, extra towels, tea, water boiler, soap, shampoo) were a nice touch. The BART and a shopping center with food options were close by. 10 min walk to food. We liked the coded entry, as it made checking in and out easy. Any questions we had were quickly answered by Art. Didn't get a chance to meet, but definitely seems like a nice and cool guy! Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a great stay at Art's in-law unit. It gave us everything we needed for a short weekend visit home to the Bay Area. The style is simple and beautifully old fashioned with the exposed wooden beams.

Elina was easy to contact and was available for questions or concerns. The place is great for someone looking to stay close to BART and on a budget. Perfect for a solo traveler. The water doesn't get super hot and the room can be a little chilly but overall a pretty good value.

Elina responded quickly and was a great host, definitely recommend and I'll no doubt be back in the future

First off let me start off slowly so you understand Ive been in the Navy since I was 18 I have seen almost everything...I got there later as she stated she needed more time to clean". When you turn onto her street if you have a low car you will bottom out and she makes you park on the side walk/road making any type of movement on this street will bottom out your car if you dont slowly take the turn on an angle(youll see) As for the place Im not sure if the cleaning fee is for advanced cleaning as in im paying for the room to be paid after me because the room was filthy cobb webbs hanging clear as day not to mention dust every where. No garbage bag empty pail, No toilet paper on arrival, or Hand soap so dont expect a hand towel. The bed was just sheets but I did find a comforter in the closet along with the can of raid ant killer and cardboard. The room is a door locked from her side so the Security doesn't feel to safe as I heard someone close up to the door numerous times as if someone was trying to put their ear t to the door. Also not to mention the door is cut about 6 inches high off the ground.I was woken up 1 morning to saw dust shooting out from under the door as early morning construction was under weigh without any warning..I would have appreciated a heads upbis all I'm saying I did not care too much I just covered the 6inch gap uder the door with the raid blanket and went to get an early jump on my day.lol she must have gotten the $ I paid for this shack. My main problem with this place was the Hot water or lack thereof. This was extremely frustrating as after a long day of work all you want is a shower to have this alertered drives me nuts makes me feel like I was back in the Navy. Cold showers to start your day and end is not worth any price of admission. Fix that water problem maybe get central air system and some hospitality it wouldnt be half bad.

This airbnb was for a friend, not for me. He found it satisfactory and was willing to stay here again. Elina was very communicative and helpful for such a last minute reservation. Thanks!

Elina's place is great for a short term stay for one or two people visiting the area. The place was quiet and in a convenient location for accessing what the east Bay Area had to offer. BART is just a few blocks away. The space is one small room with a separate bathroom. It has basic amenities (towels, hand soap, microwave and mini fridge.) I initially had some issues getting ahold of Elina during check in, but after that she was very responsive and checked in on me several times to make sure my stay was going well. I would recommend for a short term stay.

EIina was really responsive to my text, provided me a microwave and help me for the check in. I was a bit surprised when I arrived by the room, as it's not corresponding with the pictures. The walls are thin so you can hear all of the movement in the parts of the house right next to the room. But if you are looking for a small affordable place to stay, that's for you. The area is nice, a bit of walk to the Bart station, but close to supermarket/restaurant. And the place is safe and quiet.

This space was a life saver and is ideal for anyone moving to the area in need of temporary accommodations! Castro Valley is a safe, quiet area with plenty of amenities and easy city access options. There are many food and grocery options as well as a small neighborhood park. Easy off street parking and a large, tiered backyard. The room was a nice size and included a large close for storage. My only complaint is that the walls allow noise to carry but some background music or Netflix helped to mitigate the noise. Overall a great stay!

Bridget is a wonderful host. Friendly, kind, educated, bilingual (she speaks excellent Spanish). The house is in a quiet, safe, leafy neighborhood close (by car) to freeways and shopping centers. The back yard is a lovely place to relax with bees providing honey and chickens eggs. Couldn't recommend the place and its family higher.

Very nice house, spacious, clean and well located. Everything was ready and beautiful when we arrived. I highly recommend this rental !!

the house is very nice, well clean and cozy, we were 8 we found a few towels, but Liya has provided them the next day, in the kitchen, however, missing some tools it is very equipped with oven, refrigerator and coffee maker.

The house is very well decorated and in good conditions. However, it is quite far from San Francisco. When we arrived two of the beds had dirty linen and we didn't have enough linen for all the beds (we had specified we would be 11 and only had linen for 9 people).

The place was staged and decorated beautifully! The house had proper amenities such as iron, blow dryer, coffee maker and dishwasher. It accommodated our large family just fine we added a blow up mattress (which was provided) and used the couch bed in addition and it was just fine. I loved that each room had a trash can which helped us keep the place clean too. The washer/dryer was clean to use. My only suggestions were to add a bath mat when getting out of the shower because it's really slippery and to add some more 'regular' drinking cups and more pots and pans as this made it difficult to cook for a large family we made it work but would have been easier with more. Communication was good and clear and check in/out went smoothly. She even accommodated a special request which was nice. The drive to tourist places such as golden gate, alcatraz and piers is like 45-50 min out which wasn't too bad especially since I was told ahead of time and she was honest with me, but would have been nicer to be a little closer. Over all the stay was amazing and ended our vacation on a good note. I would definitely recommend this home and book it again. Thank you for hosting a wonderful home and experience!

The house is great! Lots of spacious rooms with great new couches and chairs. Garage was big enough to park our large suv inside. Liya was great, she replied to all of my questions under 5 minutes regardless of the time. Will definitely rent from Liya again!

great house - very nice to stay in for a few days of business travel

Overall our stay at the house was fine, it served our needs. The house itself is fairly big, good for large groups or families. The beds were comfortable and clean. The garage can fit one large vehicle, maybe two compact. The furnishings in the house are basic but look new. A few things we were not thrilled with would be the plumbing and cleanliness. Even with just regular use and only flushing toilet paper, we ended up with a clog in the upstairs master bath. The house needs a DEEP clean in order to be up to my expectations of cleanliness. On the surface things looks clean, but when you pay attention you start to notice where it lacks. There are spider webs and spiders throughout the house. Underneath of furniture is very dusty. Floors had dust and hair throughout the house. Like I said, overall the house served our needs. And for the price, compared to others in the area, it really is a fine place.

Furnitures and fixtures are new. Our family of 8 are comfortable here. Will highly recommend for big groups

I would recommend Nathan's place to everybody! The house is in a good location, it's very clean and nice. Nathan helped us with everything and made sure we had all that we needed. He is the most caring host I've met. I would definitely stay at his house again :)
