Lovely apartment in Victorian home

ChrisRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Wonderful stay at Bruce and Chris's place. lovely location, easy to find and check in. the kitchen is stunning, has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. peaceful and quiet. Only note - Street parking can be a bit tricky outside the property at night time. We always ended up finding a spot on the street to the right on the side of the property, so a couple mins walk if that. Would definitely stay again. Thanks alot =]

North Berkeley Garden Private Apt

TamiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Annie and Alex‘s Airbnb is wonderful! It’s in a great location, well designed, clean and modern, and equipped with all of the items you would want in the kitchen. You have access to a beautiful outdoor garden with dining table and chairs. Location! While you can walk to the best shopping for fruits and vegetables, there is free street parking as well. BART is a quick 13 minute walk! Lastly, Annie and Alex are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. We would highly recommend their AirBnb for either short or longer stays

Charming two bedroom apartment

RuthRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great week at Shielah’s place in Alameda. The 2 bedroom space was perfect for our visit with our son’s family very nearby. The beds are very comfortable, the linens are very well stocked, and then there were those extra added touches… a basket of toiletry items in the bathroom, a basket of helpful items that you might need during your stay but didn’t think to bring… those added touches make it extra special. And one other thing… her outdoor garden areas are delightful! Spring was a great time to see her handiwork!

Contemporary Apartment in a 19th Century House

JordanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I definitely recommend this place if you want to have a peaceful trip around San Francisco Had a lovely 3 week stay at Michael’s apartment in Oakland. The place is spacious, very well equipped, comfortable and has a big garden 😍 on top of that, the apartment is very close to everything you’ll need, 3 to 5 minutes walk to supermarkets, restaurants, banks, fast-food, coffee places, and direct buses to San Francisco. The neighbourhood is cute, peaceful The only flaw to this apartment is the lack of light in it, but the garden and its squirrels compensate 😸 Michael and his wife are sweet and warm, and willing to help if needed. The perfect hosts! Thank you again guys ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at John’s place - it’s a really lovely spot and the photos don’t quite do it justice! The beautiful garden is a particular highlight.

The stay met our expectations. Sean was very friendly, gave us a lot of tips and also provided drinks and snacks, which was a great gesture. The area is very quiet and well located. At no time did we feel unsafe and in particular the possibility of parking in the garage was very advantageous. Therefore, highly recommended for a short stay.

Private Mid-Century Modern W/ Secluded Yard

LaurenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I have just one complaint: This apartment has ruined other AirBnBs for me! It's my favorite place to stay in Oakland, by far. The neighborhood is lovely - a quiet street near a commercial hub, very walkable. The apartment blends the thoughtful touches of a dear friend's guest room with the spacious privacy of a high-end hotel. Every corner is appointed with love, from the artwork's playful geometry to the linen's comfy textures to the drawers' soft close. After a long day, the secret succulent garden is a quiet, whimsical retreat. John and Lauren put great care into this place, and it shows.

VenkatRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Kalven was proactive and reached out to me as I booked to let me know about the place and also watch out for the hotel to try to sell timeshare. Overall really great value for money paid right near union square. Lots of places to go eat and place was safe at least until 11 as long as you don’t head towards tenderloin. Super close to the union square cable car which takes you directly to fisherman s wharf, Lombard etc - buy a day pass and take the red cable car and save money ! Room was spacious, bed was comfy and bathroom delivered comfy showers! Will stay again !
