Charming furnished studio
I stayed at Dana's place for 10 days while working nearby. The place was perfect for my needs and in a great neighborhood. Would definitely consider it again for other trips to the area.

***3 Blocks to CAL & BART*** Mini Hippie Haven
I stayed in the little studio for 2 months while on a research visit, and it was truly a home during this time. It's walkable to the university and excellently connected with public transport. It's in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of activities. The house has a beautiful back garden. It is not super-well insulated and you can hear your neighbours, which was a tiny drawback. The studio is tiny, but extremely comfortable and cozy. I appreciated the access to laundry and the host's responsiveness whenever I needed something.

Dazzling Modern Home Near DT Palo Alto & Stanford
Adela is amazing! She made us feel like family. I am so happy we chose her home as we felt safe and comfortable in a city we have never traveled. My daughter is starting her medical residency in the area so we will definitely return. Adela had all the details covered. We are grateful for her hospitality! Highly recommend!

Lovely Gorgeous View Walkable Location!
Comfortable, attractively furnished, and spacious for our vacation stay as a couple. The views are truly lovely.

Hip hideaway steps to DT w/garden patio & W/D
Chase’s place was exactly as described. I really appreciated all the thoughtful touches, like labels for WiFi, extra toiletries and even a few office supplies. I was very happy & surprised to find two luggage racks. Chase even accommodated an extremely late check-in, due to my train being delayed four hours. There’s no question that I would stay here again. I wish I could’ve stayed longer!

Comfortable, newly remodeled private Studio/Apt
Great place for my 1 year old and I to stay while visiting friends and family in the bay.

Ground Floor Upgraded Victorian in Alameda 2BR/1BA
The place was very nice. We have kids & grandkids in the Bay Area and like to visit as often as possible. The place was clean and comfortable but most of all very welcoming. And Ramil reached out to make sure our needs were met. If the need arises we would definitely stay there again

Private Suite in the Redwoods with a View
This is a lovely place in the trees. The space was as pictured and described in the listing. Everything was comfortable, clean and the host was quite welcoming. I would recommend this space to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the trees.

Downtown San Jose Cozy Studio Free Parking
Nice, clean and well-equipped apartment within walking distance of convention center. Cecilia is very quick in responding to any small issues there might be.

SF & Bay views, deck w/hot tub, luxurious studio
We loved our stay at Jan’s place in Berkeley. The space was great for our trip. We absolutely loved the deck and hot-tub. We spent most evenings sitting out there for hours! You also can’t beat the views of the bay! Overall, such a wonderful stay, we would for sure go back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Park Place North | Inner Richmond
Barbara was one of the best hosts, if not the best, that I have encountered over my many years of travel. She was responsive to messages and was just so polite and friendly with recommendations and tips for navigating San Francisco. The little touches of snacks and special drinks were really appreciated. The room decorations with the wine histories / business books and mid-century furniture and lighting made for a wonderful space to relax in. The bed was very comfortable.

Charming two bedroom apartment
Sheila‘s place is exactly as advertised. Very clean and includes everything you would need. Very quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Modern Living Steps From Downtown
Very clean, welcoming place. Alexander’s apartment was very comfortable for 3 adults, with well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Alexander answered my questions super promptly, he is a great host. We highly recommend his place.

Beautiful Private Garden Apt. Nr. Golden Gate Park
We had a wonderful stay! Toni and Philip were so kind and helpful. The apartment was perfect for my spouse, myself, and 17 month old. There are great restaurants within walking distances and perfect access to different sites around SF. We stay at a lot of AirBnb’s and this was a great experience. We hope to return. Thank you, Toni and Philip!

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

NoPa Garden Sanctuary ⭐️ Jacuzzi ⭐️ Walk Everywhere
I am so grateful for my stay in Dylan And Alex's place! It was clean, safe, quiet, easy to check in, and easy to check out. I was able to walk everywhere - grocery, restaurants, and all types of stores within walking distance. Dylan and Alex are so friendly and proactive to be helpful. I hope to stay here again on my next visit! Thank you Dylan! Thank you Alex! What a great stay!

Luxury Top Floor Apartment
Great location! Apartment was spotless and location very convenient to restaurants and shopping. Hosts were very responsive. We had a bit of trouble with the app that provides access to the garage , but we were generally able to piggyback with someone else entering the garage, so it wasn’t a significant problem. Would happily stay again.

Your Walnut Creek Luxury Oasis Awaits
Great location and very comfortable space. The kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils to make cooking easy. There's a dedicated parking spot right in front of the unit, if you have a tall or long vehicle like a truck it might not fit in the spot and there are limited uncovered spaces to park. The AC is in the living room and doesn't get back to the bedroom very well which isn't a problem unless it's a really hot day. There was one day that was 90°F and the bedroom didn't cool off. The living room and couch are comfortable and a nice spot to unwind.

Claremont View
The location and space was perfect for our needs! Clean, and larger than we expected from the photos. We especially enjoyed the hot tub/gazebo and the balcony.

Spacious Luxury Apartment in Heart of Bay Area
Book this home for my boyfriend and I while we were visiting family and it was great! The hosts were very friendly and were very helpful as well. Would definitely book a stay here again next time we visit SJ!

Cozy Luxe N Oakland Garden Hideaway with Hot Tub
We absolutely loved everything about Eurydice's space. So elegant in its simplicity, and clearly prioritizing coziness and livability. She's thought of so many touches that made it all the more welcoming: extra throws and blankets, a fan and heater in the closet in case you need a temperature adjustment, a night light in the bathroom, super comfy seating and bed. All this set in a gorgeous garden that's very convenient to public transportation and very walkable to boot. On top of all that, Eurydice was a great host: very responsive, warm, and welcoming, even though I never ran into her while we were there. This place really felt like home away from home, and the most difficult part was getting myself to leave! :)

Grand 1868 Victorian, Family-Friendly w/ Hot Tub
Shea’s place was beautiful and spacious for our family of 5. Check in was easy and Shea was very responsive to all my questions about the home and neighborhood. We took full advantage of the backyard with hot tub and ping pong when we needed a break from sightseeing. There was a fair amount of noise from neighbors and the street in the front of the house. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
