Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Kensington

A gorgeous house. Our extended family loved our stay here. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out in common areas or find more private spaces. Kitchen and house in general were well stocked with whatever we needed. Many great restaurants, stores, playgrounds within a 10 min drive. The host was not just super responsive and friendly, but went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable - even mailed an item we had left behind! Many wonderful memories were made here. Would absolutely love to stay again.

Kit was a great host! She was with responses and the home was perfect for our family of four. We had no issues and will definitely stay here again when we visit our family in Alameda!

We were stuck when our rental property on another booking site was not habitable and we found Will's place and it was available. It was exceptionally clean and quiet and had a lovely, private backyard sitting area which was beautifully landscaped. Great master bedroom with views, huge bathroom and massive walk-in closet - all squeaky clean with plenty of towels. Will's house is very private despite being in a cul-de-sac and is not overlooked by any house. It was a very bright and sunlit house and we really enjoyed our time there.

We had a great stay at Caroline's Cottage while visiting our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The Cottage is just like the pictures , very nicely decorated and not much clutter . Very comfortable beds with good linens , plenty of towels too . The kitchen is fully equipped to have meals at home if you so wish to do so. The house feels very peaceful and is very quiet , we loved that ! Caroline was a very friendly , responsive and helpful host . We did not encounter a single problem the whole time we stay there. We will definitely be back . Thank you , Caroline for hosting us.

Tim’s place was clean, comfortable, and well situated. The neighborhood is quiet, but and large. Bed/s are comfortable. My one complaint would be the downstairs neighbor was a bit noisy, but only on the last night. It sounded like they were having a party down there until 1am and I could smell weed emanating from below. Otherwise, I had a very peaceful stay.

Kevin and Catherine's place is exactly as pictured. They were incredibly responsive during our stay and went above and beyond to accommodate my twin infants. The outdoor amenities for kids were fantastic—super kid-friendly! We’d love to stay again.

So cute, a storybook cottage, indeed. I looked forward to every minute we spent there. We had amazing natural preserves, restaurants, and shopping to choose from - a big draw, but we looked forward to all the time relaxing in this cottage, especially in the evening.

We had a great stay, the location was perfect between the SFO airport and a wedding we had in Santa Rosa. We were able to explore lots of different areas from this central spot. The location was easy to get to but nice and quiet. Definitely walk over and check out the civic center and farmers market—super close and cool! The host was very available and responsive. This is someone’s home, so not the place for you if you want a perfectly immaculate spot with no signs of life—however the space was very clean and as pictured. Had plenty of kitchen supplies to cook a meals at home. Definitely recommend!

Amazing home in one of the best areas of SF Potrero Hill is a gorgeous area with some amazing restaurants. Reid’s home has everything you could need and more including 4 roof terrace areas! Stunning on a nice sunny night. Highly recommend

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

Heather's place was stylish, comfortable, generous in size, and extremely convenient for visiting my daughter at UC Berkeley. I especially appreciated the desk by a lovely window where I could do some work. I hope I can stay here again!

This is such a lovely studio. Super comfy and spotless. The bed is very comfy, the kitchenette was just right for making a quick breakfast, and I loved the deck - could have lounged on the deck chairs for days enjoying the sun and the view. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Quiet but inviting, with some very impressive architecture, and several fantastic little local parks. Everything is pretty steep in the area, and it makes you feel like you're in a different world from the rest of the city. Jan was very responsive and helpful, and we had exactly the relaxing weekend we needed.

great location. Beautiful neighborhood. Nice host. Private, quite and relaxing. Had a great night sleep. Id stay again.

This was my first stay at an Airbnb ever. I spent a month here and it was great. The place is spacious, clean and well-stocked with all the necessities, including in the kitchen. The location is convenient to both Berkeley and Oakland, including the Ashby BART station, Berkeley Bowl and a local gym called Berkeley Barbell Club. I can’t imagine a better host than Joe. He usually responds to any message within minutes, and is proactive in dealing with any issue or answering any question. All in all, I highly recommend it.

I will summarize Renzo's apartment as a combination of a 5-star hotel and airbnb with the price of airbnb only. Extremely great value for money spent. The pictures didn't do enough justice to what I saw. It was super convenient and well furnished beyond regular amenities you find in an airbnb. I was offered a bottle of wine and chocolates on arrival. The heaters in the room and living room were topnotch. The bed is very comfortable Renzo was very responsive with communication I commuted everyday to San Francisco and Renzo's apartment is about 5mins or less walk to the Bart Metro Station. Super convenient

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Wonderful host! Great communication

This place was perfect for me. Very quiet and a Great comfortable High quality Tempur-pedic bed. Large Beautiful kitchen and living room and deck that is shared with the family, but they spend their time downstairs or at work mostly, so very quiet too. the host Family are very kind and friendly and respectful of the space. Two little dogs were absolutely darling and very well behaved and after the initial barking hello whenever you came home, completely quiet. And beautiful views and surroundings as well. Couldn't have asked for more.

What a peaceful retreat! Perfect for two people as a home base during a bay area trip. The view was wonderful, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything else. Would 100% stay here again.

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

A great stay from start to finish. Any issues encountered were few, minor, and quickly addressed. The unit was nice and well kept, private, and had clear, written instructions upon arrival. Everything we needed was provided, and the hosts were very polite, friendly, responsive, and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home and was wonderful for our family get a way. The home was clean and had everything you need for comfort!

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!
