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.

Eclectic Luxury room
Roberto‘s place was excellent! Everything from the small details of decor to the relaxing space. Great outdoor balcony and excellent location. We can’t wait to stay again.

Star Studio in the Outer Sunset
The place was delightful - warm, homey, all the amenities for a comfortable stay and great location. Walking distance to beach and local rests and coffee shops. The hosts were friendly and helpful. It was perfect. High recommend!

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

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

Garden apartment with Bay View
James’ place was a perfect spot. Like staying at a cool friends’ apartment. Very clean, great design, thoughtful details, lovely deck and gorgeous plants everywhere. Quiet and peaceful. 10/10.

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!

Bright, Light & Ocean Views Apt
Excellent accommodations! We loved the location and the layout. It was sweet to have a view of the ocean while we were in the apartment. It was clean, well stocked and the host was quick to reply to questions. The central location was perfect for visiting the area.

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.

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 🖤

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!

Modern Living Steps From Downtown
5 stars! A Perfect Stay in Walnut Creek! Our family truly enjoyed every moment of our stay at Alexander’s place. The home was not only spotless and comfortable, but also thoughtfully stocked with every amenity you could need—from extra trash bags to toothbrushes, floss picks, and cotton swabs. Everything was arranged in such a convenient, intuitive way that it felt less like a typical guest room and more like a home someone genuinely lives in with care. We appreciated the ease of free parking right in front of the garage, and Alexander’s warm communication throughout. He lives downstairs, so he was always available and checked in from time to time to make sure everything was going smoothly and answered all questions that we had for local places. Taking out the trash was super easy, and having a washer and dryer available was a big plus for a longer stay. This place was not just clean and cozy,it was smartly set up for real comfort. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

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!

I hope to stay here again on my next visit! Thank you Dylan! Thank you Alex! What a great stay!

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

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.

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.
