Fullmoon’s house
Li’s place was great and she is a great communicator

Waterfront with HUGE Backyard
This was our third stay at this location, which says a lot about how much we have enjoyed our stays at Corria's property. She is very easy to communicate with and makes sure our stay is comfortable. Alameda is such a lovely city with great dining options within walking distance and the outdoor space on the water is really spectacular. We are tremendous "birders" and often spend the mornings spotting ducks and shore birds from the private waterfront and enjoying the hummingbirds buzzing over our heads! We are always very relaxed staying here and enjoy the easy access we have to family living in the area. We look forward to our next stay.

Modern Home in Alameda
This Airbnb was absolutely perfect! The host was very responsive and had clear instructions for check-in and check-out. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They had a good selection of books and games to keep one entertained. Kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and bedrooms and bathrooms had ample supplies of linen and toiletries. The waterfront overlooks Jack London Square and and is a safe place to go for walks. There are a variety of restaurants across the tunnel. We felt right at home and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting this area!

Designer Cozy Retreat: New & Premium
I had a great stay! The space was very clean and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. Mia was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Silicon Valley Pvt Room in a safe neigh'd
Superior host. Kind, helpful, reasonable. What a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Pleasanton Haven
The house was exactly what we needed for three people. Location is very convenient for us and everything we needed was available in the kitchen. The owners are very nice and so are the neighbors!

Oakland CA, Grand Lake, Lake Merritt, GrandTheater

Waterfront 4bd/3ba Home - Close to SF/wine/racing!
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! I was in town for ~2+ weeks for a race. The location was beautiful, peaceful & private…but most importantly SAFE! I could easily drive to Novato center to get to Whole Foods for groceries, gas, pharmacy etc as needed. Since I was in town for a race I needed some special recovery treatment (athletic deep tissue massages, Accupuncture, hydration IVs) — Novato center is so cute and has it all! Kelly was an amazing host, she recommended using the patio on a sunny day and was overall just incredibly kind and helpful. I do want to emphasize the safety of this neighborhood- several other racers stayed in different areas and had their cars broken into. This is NOT a problem in this neighborhood so given crime issues in California I highly recommend this home and area. Home is exactly as advertised: -heat (but no AC) -4 bedrooms w 3 bath: master is bath not a shower ensuite; 3 bedrooms share the 2 remaining bathrooms. -Big kitchen, living room, dock!!
Lake access apartment rentals

Come stay by the lake, Crocker Highlands rental
We stayed at Michele’s for about 3 months for our travel nurse assignment. The place has everything you could need, at an amazing price considering the area. The sofa bed is so comfy, and easy to convert. Michele is always quick to respond. She would also give us eggs from her backyard chickens every now and then! She definitely took care of us. On Thanksgiving, she even brought us some sweet potato pie. We appreciated it so much since we were away from our families. Michele would drop off our mail for us every time we had something delivered. She really would go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a great deal! Thanks for everything, Michele!

Beautiful Lake Merritt
Foremost is what an outstanding host Brian is. He was consistently responsive and helpful, and always good-natured. Whenever we needed anything, Brian was very quick to provide it. The apartment was more than adequate for our needs--I especially liked the walk-in closet and the view of the plants on the back deck. The office space was good for getting work done, and the futon couch there could have served as another bed, though the space is open. There is a step up to the bathroom, which has a nice roomy shower, and everything very clean. Also a step up to the kitchen, which can handle one person at a time. Fridge, range, microwave--all clean and of recent vintage. The neighborhood was quiet, even with a handy laundromat and coffee shop just around the corner. We also liked how close we were to Lake Merritt--good walks. We would definitely stay here again, and hope that we'll have the opportunity.

Beautiful Private Garden Apt. Nr. Golden Gate Park
An excellent place to stay. Quiet, private, clean, everything you need provided. You access the Airbnb through the garage door with a door code. Easy to do. Two blocks from the Golden Gate Park, easy access to bus lines (get a Clipper card in advance). Three blocks from a great breakfast restaurant/bakery. Reasonably close to good restaurants. Most of them have delivery. If we went to San Francisco again, we would get reservations at this Airbnb.

Small studio apartment in quiet neighborhood.
I spent a week here when my own apartment was under renovation. It was great! Very cozy, but had everything needed to live my daily life uninterrupted. I got to meet LaurieAnn and she was very kind. I will stay again if I need a place in Oakland. Thanks LaurieAnn!

Romantic - close to beach, shopping & restaurants!
pleasant decor, all the amenities you could need (Laundromat just next door), friendly neighbors, soft bed, shower has great pressure and all the hot water, even some tequila in the cupboard! 😅 Only thing I could complain about is it gets HOT in there on a hot day but just open the doors and hit the fans. Oh and such nice gardening, fragrant flowers everywhere. Thanks Kyle!

Lakeside retreat filled with art
The rental worked well for our visit to Oakland. We liked the large bedroom (lots of space for suitcases, big closet, etc) that afforded privacy from the kitchen/living area. The kitchen was sufficiently supplied for cooking though we only used it for breakfast & takeout. It was also nice to have easy access to the Lake for walks. Marie responded quickly to inquiries & overall a great visit to Oakland.

Downtown Oakland Delight
This was a great place to stay. Would definitely stay again. And the host was super responsive!

Apartment of Merritt
Apartment was clean and well furnished with many of the comforts of home including a well-equipped kitchen with coffee, tea and snacks. Adequate space for two and pet friendly. Great location, walkable to restaurants, Trader Joe's, banks, and movie theater. Adequate dining and work space. Quiet neighborhood. Host Claudia, was friendly, welcoming and accessible. Would definitely book again!
