Mission Private 1BR/BA Garden Suite Separate Entry
Bradley’s place feels like a home from home. It is both comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Everything you’d possibly need is provided! This time there was even a new radiant heater that could be individually controlled. We always look forward to returning!

Bright and Spacious Guest Suite
The house is very clean and comfortable. It is convenient to cook in the kitchen. Bill and his family are very considerate in every detail. It is a great pleasure to live in the house. There is a trail behind the house. I like to take a walk there. It is near Safeway and Wholefoods. Shopping and eating out are very convenient.

Garden Oasis Suite with Spa and Pool, Walnut Creek
Jenny was a great host. Her place was very clean and had everything that one would need. We had an amazing time here.

Entire 2BR/2BA Spacious & Clean - Private Entrance
We had a great stay at Wynne’s place. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. The home is right next to a golf course which was very nice to walk around. Highly recommended!

San Fran Zanadu: Private Garden Suite-Parking avlb
Del was a great host and very responsive, going above and beyond. The place was clean, peaceful and just what we needed for a short stay. The block itself is very quiet, but lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance make it a win-win.

2-bedroom suite in peaceful neighborhood
James's place was as described--it's a basement-level apartment. It's on a cul-de-sac on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood with some stately redwood trees in the yard. Parking was easy. The location was very convenient to Mountain View and Sunnyvale. The apartment was clean and equipped with the basics. WiFi was good. Having laundry in-unit was very helpful. Check-in was easy, and the directions for locating the place were clear. Yes, as described, the ceilings are low (6' 6" or so), and there are a couple of thresholds that are, I'd say, 6' 0" (I'm 6' 1" and couldn't stand under them fully), but I knew to expect that. It does mean the shower head is also pretty low, but, again, I expected that. The people upstairs can be heard moving about, but it wasn't enough to be majorly noticeable. Overall, a nice place to stay and a good value in an area where lodging is very expensive.

Lovely 2-bedroom suite in Sunset,by beach and park

Very beautiful place to stay!

Modern private 2Bd/I BA guest suite with patio
We very much enjoyed our stay! It worked well for our family to have two separate bedrooms which is tricky in Noe Valley if you don’t need an entire house . The location was perfect for our purposes and walkable for us. The space was very clean and a good space. James was very helpful and facilitated check in for us and provided some excellent recommendations for nearby cafes. Would definitely book here again on another visit to SF.

Modern, Bright Suite with Noe Valley Terrace Views
Susan and her gorgeous listing were an exceptional experience. I will definitely return! The space is magical and Susan is caring an responsive. Thank you so much!

Great place new point Reyes station. Very remote neighborhood and felt like a nice little getaway. Hot tub wasn’t working when we arrived so she turned on the sauna for us which was really nice. Overall great stay!

Great neighborhood! Peaceful and quiet. Will book again for sure!

Sweet home with parking

Sweet Suite w/ EV charger & Parking, 5 min to SFSU
May was a great host, always responsive & helpful. The place was cozy, comfortable, and exactly what I needed for my short staycation. The location also turned out to be more convenient than I expected. Good internet and tv as well if that’s important for your stay.

Slice of Paradise Suite w/ Kitchen-Laundry-Trails
Sara was very responsive from our first conversation. She answered any questions I had quickly. The place was as described, it was clean and she even had little extras if you needed such as an extra toothbrush and toothpaste. Having the washer and dryer was a plus I just wish there was some kind of drying rack or something as I don't machine dry my clothes. ( just a little thought) She had every bedding and kitchen amenity a person could need. The bathroom was a great size as we're always getting ready for the day together. Parking was great as well it was literally right outside. We were greeted with a cute welcome sign which was a sweet thought as well. We really overall enjoyed the place as a whole. The ONLY thing I would mention is that I know in description it says some noise and gives time frames but UNFORTUNATELY at times it was SUPER loud. I'm not sure if just how loud is noticed by the host. I still give 5 stars as we tried not to let it taint our experience. Thank you, Sara!

Great location, wonderful host

KT Home with Garage Parking
Kaiye and Joyce’s place was exactly as described and so peaceful. It was great to have use of laundry facilities as this was a stop off on our road trip. The suite is so close to the beach and the Golden Gate Park and was really easy to get around the city. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area in future

Safe area. Metro 12 mins to d'town. Park/EV charge
Very nice place to stay at San Francisco: close to public's transportation, paisible, confortable... The accomodation's description is like the reality. And Su was nice. I recommend this stay.
