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.

Charming 2BR/1BA Apt in Burlingame, Close to SFO
great apartment in a great location!

Brand new unit Heart of Alameda
Great clean and modern place. Excellent location and communication, entry, etc. There is quite a bit of street noise so ear plugs are a must, but it might not bother most people. I'm very sensitive.

Light-filled apartment in heart of Palo Alto
This a beautiful and amazing unit in a very nice friendly quiet neighborhood. The host is very helpful and friendly! The whole experience is amazing! Highly recommend it!

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!

Newly Remodeled One Bedroom with Free Parking
Exactly as the listing describes. Close to Hayward BART station, Hayward town hall, and so many restaurants and bars. The unit had a clean bathroom and kitchen. Very comfy bed. Easy access to the unit in front and back. Every time we enter, we are greeted by adorable cats!

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

Stunning Bay Area Apartment With Lots of Amenities
My stay at Matthew’s place was a great experience. It’s located in an area that’s easily accessible to local dining, shopping, highways and was a perfect distance from my daughter’s house. The apartment is nicely updated and also offered a very functional kitchen. The bathroom is very roomy with both a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub. I was also very happy with the large walk-in closet. Matthew was very responsive to any questions I had. I would recommend his place without hesitation and plan to stay there again in the near future.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary! It was super cute, with accommodations for our 3 month old. Close to local food/shops! Would definitely stay again!

Downtown Menlo Park Modern 1 bedroom Apartment LO6
Overall a great stay! Amazing area and beautiful apartment.

Garden Ocean view Apartment
Paul’s place is absolutely stunning and the view will absolutely not disappoint! He is a great and responsive host, and we really enjoyed our time there 🖤

Artist Apartment with Views
From the extensive vinyl collection to the categorized bookshelf — from the skylights to the city panorama, there’s nothing that this loft doesn’t provide. The apartment was a perfect landing spot after a long day in the city and a restful environment for simply chilling out. Looking for a delicious dark roast paired with a fresh cheese danish, check out the bodega located right down the street. As for our host, Terri was a delight to communicate with. She made checkin/out a breeze and her personal touches of decor made it feel like home. Will come back to this Air BNB again no doubt.

Cozy 1 Bedroom Flat in Potrero
Very comfortable and well laid out for a small space - with a nice back yard! When the weather is cool, as it can be in San Francisco, wear a cozy wrap and enjoy the view from the back porch. If you arrive with a car, parking may be the trickiest part of your stay. Start with the host's recommendations, then be sure to read the signs on the street where you put your car as those signs have the last word. If you see "Street sweeping Wednesday 12 - 2pm" for example, do not park during those hours. I recommend the following: data<dot>sfgov<dot>org/Transportation/Map-of-Parking-Regulations/qbyz-te2i Also, if you park on a hill, turn your wheels properly or risk a fine (squareone<dot>ca/resource-centres/vehicle-owner/parking-on-hills) But SF isn't that large, so consider getting around by walking in combination with public transportation - or call Lyft or Uber. Then when you're ready to relax, enjoy your stay at Jacque's.

Sunny Garden Studio with Parking
Fantastic spot- central on the island but felt like a you were still off on your own.

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!

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
A gem of a space, spent 6 relaxing days enjoying the sound of waves, the wind and watching Karl move in and out. Thank you Yeshi for being an amazing host and human being 🙏

Luxe Apartment Downtown San Jose w/ Gym, Pool
Lovely stay for a few weeks! Clean, fully stocked, and pictures look exactly like the unit. The complex was quiet with security staff at night/early morning. Kathleen was quick to respond as well! Would def stay again.

NoPa Garden Sanctuary ⭐️ Jacuzzi ⭐️ Walk Everywhere
It was a nice stay! Host was super responsive and room was clean and tidy.

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.

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.

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
Great stay.. kids loved the game room!

Beautiful 1 bdrm Apt with Ocean Views and Hot Tub
I loved Albina's place. It was so perfect for what we were looking for. It was cute, easy to find, easy parking and just so lovely. The highlight was the view. The bedroom window looked out to the city and the ocean. We never even turned the TV on since the view from the bed was just spectacular. We literally just watched the ocean and boats going by as the sunset before our eyes. The moon then came out and we went to bed just staring out at the sky. I hope to be able to stay here again. It was such a magical retreat.

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! :)
