RickRating, 5 stars1 week ago
David’s place was well appointed, clean and thoughtfully furnished and organized. There were power strips with electrical outlets and USB ports wherever they might be needed — a nice touch. Coffee was plentiful and the kitchen well supplied. David and Goldie went out of their way to make us feel at home. We will definitely return.

Wine Country Gem - Sonoma Cottage with Pool Oasis

QuincyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

It was a great stay. They have a beautiful property and garden. Berkley is a great walking city. It was fun to explore. This was my 2nd time to Berkeley, and my wife and kid's first. She loved the city. Thanks for a great stay.

Cozy backyard cottage

ChristianRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This apartment has a lovely garden, which makes a stay very special. People should know that the apartment does not provide much space for cooking and clothes, especially for two guests, since it is just a tiny house. Raquel is very supportive, friendly, helps where she can very quickly and is flexible with the check-in and check-out times, which helped us a lot. It also great that a washer and dryer is included.

Flower Bed Cottage. A private garden paradise.

BernadetteRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Stacey and Ravi’s place is ‘THE BEST’ Airbnb!! Returning for a fourth stay, it is always a pleasant surprise after opening the gate and entering the “Flower Bed” to find more surprises than the last visit. Always squeaky clean, inviting and comfortable. Plenty to do around Auburn or venturing out to other near by towns. Comfy lounge chairs, shade canopy’s and umbrella let you enjoy the outdoors. As their place is nestled up in the hills, it is also cooler with a nice breeze. I love staying here and always look forward to returning. Impeccable service and the kindest hosts a guest can ask!❤️

Sonoma Wine Country Haven

KaylaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My husband and I stayed in Anita’s home for a few days while in the area for a wedding. The photos of the private patio space and well equipped, modern interior were what drew us in and they didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed including small touches that go a long way like bottled water (and miniature chocolates— a necessity for me personally). The home is well lit with natural daylight, while still being very turn-down friendly with nice shades and window treatments. We really enjoyed the patio space and the (gated) private entry. It was safe, clean and cozy, a very easy place to make home for several days+. While there, we even got a few glimpses and interactions with Anita’s PRECIOUS dog, Oisin and frankly wish we got to see more of him as we were missing our own dog at home (though he is much quieter, and we never heard a peep). Location was great, just a short distance from one of the top rated lunch spots in Sonoma. We’d definitely stay here again!

Private garden retreat

RayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
When we entered Mary Lee’s backyard where the unit is located, we were instantly pleased with how beautiful and well landscaped it is. The studio is well built, with attention to detail and the use of quality materials. The décor was also pleasant and well thought out. In addition, we were satisfied with the fact that they provide 100% cotton towels and linen for the bed. The kitchen was well stocked with stainless steel cookware and everything we needed. Mary Lee and her husband David were friendly and responsive to all our requests. We would be happy to stay at their place again.

Sausalito Garden Stay

Linda And AndrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago
David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous Guest House with a Farmhouse Flair

ElviraRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a great 2-night stay at this cozy house in the Bay Area. The place felt super homey and welcoming—like a real home away from home. One thoughtful touch we really appreciated was how the host set out everything we might need right at the door, which made settling in easy and stress-free. There were no issues during our stay, and everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-prepared stay in the area!

Alexander Valley: Wine Lover and Cycling Paradise

KatieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My family (me, my husband, and our 9-month-old daughter) stayed here for a few days to attend a friend’s wedding at a nearby winery. What a cozy gem! The inside of the guesthouse was plenty spacious enough for the three of us. The kitchenette was perfect for making coffee and simple breakfasts in the morning. The outdoor spaces were so peaceful. I can tell that a lot of thought and care went into creating this little oasis. The location and proximity to tons of wineries was really perfect. Communication with the hosts was very responsive and friendly. I have nothing but positive things to say and would absolutely stay here again!

Silvia is the most wonderful host! Thoughtful and attentive. She has a welcome snack and champagne waiting for you when you arrive. She’s truly thought of everything! The Studio is also great! Private and peaceful. Very well stocked. She’s got everything you’ll need! We loved the private outdoor area to enjoy the sunshine. We stayed for a longer amount of time and she made sure we had fresh linens for the bed and fresh towels. We would absolutely stay here again.

Downtown Campbell Executive Cottage

JaneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I felt at home the minute I entered this handsome studio. The layout feels spacious and peaceful, with window and door looking out to a beautiful backyard shared with the hosts (who I never ran into). From the personalized welcome sign with my name on it, to small helpful notes around the unit, I felt welcomed and cared for. (Vs. last place that greeted me w/ list of rules to control my behavior). Very comfortable bed (w/ blanket wrapped in sheets like an upscale hotel--thank you!). Kitchen had everything needed for cooking a few meals. Loved the options for soft lighting in kitchen and bed reading lights. Loved being just a block away from downtown Campbell, with all its restaurants and shops. The whole neighborhood is peaceful and walkable--one of my favorites in the San Jose area. I look forward to staying here again someday!

Private unit close to Santa Clara University

ShoaibRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is our first Airbnb experience and we were glad we chose this place for our first stay. Rahil was a very-very responsive and kind host. We had a tiny bit of trouble first entering the property due to the locking system. I messaged Rahil and he quickly responded and fixed the lock and we were good to go for the rest of our stay. The place was spotless and very clean when we first entered. It is like having your own mini house with all the amenities you need even for a long stay. Everything was professional, instructions were clear, bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The area is super nice and private. It is like a 5 minute drive to Santana Row, Valley Fair Mall, and multiple restaurants. I had no problem keeping my car parked in front of the property and never felt like it was going to be a problem. Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this Airbnb and you are in good hands with Rahil.

Studio at Surfers Outlook

Surfers outlook is a beautiful spot. The studio had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and Carey was a fantastic host. The view was amazing, we loved exploring the town, and had a great vacation. All the five star reviews and photos still don’t do it justice - you really just have to see for yourself! Highly recommend.
