Charming Cozy Cottage in Eco-Garden Oasis
This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

Sunnystay: Bright Garden Palo Alto Studio Cottage
Superb location for walking to Univ Ave restaurants. Lovely neighborhood for walking. Quiet. Short drive to med ctr. Personable hosts.

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis
Amy's place was wonderful - one of the few places we've ever stayed that was even better in person than in pictures. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for the 2 of us. The outdoor space was amazing, plenty of quiet spaces to lounge in the sun and walk around. The area was great as well, quiet but close to downtown, and Amy was a thoughtful and responsive host, we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. The one thing to note is that the Wi-fi could be unreliable - we both worked from the Airbnb, and made it work for the week, but something to note for future visitors. We'd definitely recommend this place and plan to come back next time we visit. Thank you Amy!

Little Cottage on the Hill
This was an EXCELLENT Airbnb. Great value, beautiful property, plenty of privacy, exceptionally good instructions form the hosts. I can not recommend highly enough. Great place to recharge.

I was surprised when we arrived that the space was a converted Garage. I was a little worried when we drove up but the space is beautiful. They did an amazing job it was spacious , clean and safe. The neighborhood is peaceful and serene. My girls and I loved walking through the neighborhood in the mornings and evenings. Communication was great the host was very responsive.We will absolutely be staying here again.

Private Cozy Suite Los Gatos - Saratoga
Had an absolutely lovely stay at Rezan’s place. She was the utmost in hospitableness and thoughtfulness The property is absolutely gorgeous, filled with birds and trees and flowers and the sound of frogs, statuary, walking paths, places to sit and enjoy the environment, a little pond with fountain, and just minutes to downtown Los Gatos. I had the best stay.

Orchard Cottage in convenient countryside location
Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

Newly built stylish guesthouse
We really enjoyed staying at Yao's place! It's located in a quiet, safe neighborhood while also being conveniently close to many great restaurants and other parts of the South Bay. The space is spacious, superbly clean, and has all the amenities one could ask for. Yao was a friendly and responsive host, and we would definitely stay again!

Delightful Hideaway in San Carlos
Marilynn has been great and very responsive when we have stayed there. The place is well-stocked and maintained, and San Carlos is a friendly town with good restaurants and boutique shopping.

Boho beach bungalow- walk to Poplar Beach
Very cozy and private. I brought my family of four and we had a lovely time. The only tricky part is figure out how to lock the door, but if that’s the worst of it, then I’d say it was pretty amazing. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the beach along nature paths and side streets. Definitely worth it!

Palo Alto Cottage: Privacy, Comfort & Convenience
Thanks for the stay! The bed was very comfortable, and the space was private and quiet. The room is quite large and nicely divided into the sleeping area, sitting area, and eating area. And parking on the street was aplenty.

Charming, modern, restorative, private studio
Julie's stay was everything an airbnb should be - peaceful, clean and reasonably priced! Conveniently located by Palo Alto and Mountain View, it's a superior option to many of the outdated hotels. Would absolutely stay again!

Guesthouse in Monte Sereno
This is my 3rd or 4th time staying at Pedram's place and every time is perfect. Pedram is super easy to communicate with and responsive. The place is exactly what I want and has excellent appliances and layout.

Silicon Valley Oasis
We felt right at home in this cozy Air bnb. The garden areas surrounding the property are beautiful. We had everything we needed and more in the kitchen where we made breakfast every morning. Lots of cookware and cabinet full of spices. Super clean. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to downtown San Carlos was about 23 minutes. The host checked in regularly with us online and we appreciated the attention. Was sad to leave when our time was up. We hope to return as we have family in the area.

Evergreen Valley Hillside retreat
Christina’s place was perfect. Everything was as described in the listing. The views of San Jose were amazing. This is a very good location with security, inside a gated compound. We totally loved our stay here and will recommend Christina’s place to friends. We will definitely be back. Thank you Christina and Chris for hosting us!

Cozy Private 1B1B Cottage near Japantown
Stayed at Arthur’s to attend a SAP Center event. Planned to Uber but found the neighborhood very walkable. Place is nicely tucked away and quiet away from the street and main house. We only had trouble street parking on our first night which was a Thursday after 5pm. Otherwise it was fine. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Adorable renovated guest cottage near downtown
First off I want to publicly say Thank Betsey for everything!! Great location, easy freeway access. Very close to downtown for restaurants and entertainment. For extended stays it is the best!!

The Casita is a wonderful place to stay - everything is sparkly clean, nice layout (love the separation of the dining area from the bedroom), easy to get around. Highly recommend!

Our stay was excellent. The place was very clean and well-maintained. Communication with the host was quick, and they were always available for any questions or recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers and would stay here again in the future.

Tranquil and Charming 1-Bedroom Guest house w/bath
David and Margaret were wonderful people! They stayed on top of communication and they were very kind. We only stayed for a night but their backyard is beautiful, the room and interior had everything you needed and it was private. For the area, the room, and the scenery- definitely a great place to stay. They also had a nice fan and wall AC which was so nice with the warmer weather kicking in during the day.
