Newly remodeled 3bd/2bth in downtown Walnut Creek
Everything was exactly as described and very walkable to the Walnut Creek shops. The interior was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place to stay overall.

Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Great old house, especially for families. It feels lived in by a family (and is decorated as such). That's great esp if you're traveling with your family; there's lots of useful things around the house and entertainments. Neighborhood is great as is the backyard!

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We eindigden onze reis van twee weken doorheen CaliforniĂŤ waar ze startte. Zo was de cirkel rond. Het tweede verblijf in Bills woning voelde echt als thuiskomen. Bill bood de grootst mogelijke flexibiliteit aan inzake aankomst en vertrek. Bijzonder vriendelijk. Deze accommodatie is zeer aan te bevelen.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Der Aufenthalt entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Sean war sehr freundlich, gab uns viele Tipps und stellte auch Getränke und Snacks zur Verfßgung, was eine tolle Geste war. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig und gut gelegen. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt haben wir uns unsicher gefßhlt und insbesondere die MÜglichkeit in der Garage parken zu dßrfen, war sehr von Vorteil. Daher insgesamt fßr einen Kurzaufenthalt sehr zu empfehlen.

Top Quality Two Bedroom Home Near San Francisco
Lovely, clean house with anything youâd need. Great location â a block away from restaurants, local shops and the main bus line â but felt very private. Beautiful front garden.

Marcâs place was clean and stocked with everything you need including an instant pot! Bathroom was stocked with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Love the area the house is in as you have easy access to the freeway a and the neighborhood was quite.The beds were really comfortable which made it hard to get up and get the day startedđ We look forward to returning when itâs time to visit our family in the area again!

This place was perfect for our family of 5. We all had plenty of space and fun playing pool. The host was responsive and super accommodating! Would highly recommend.

Lovely apartment in Victorian home
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
Annie and Alexâs Airbnb is wonderful! Itâs 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
We had a great week at Shielahâs place in Alameda. The 2 bedroom space was perfect for our visit with our sonâs 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 didnât 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!

Modern, comfortable Apartment, in a great location
Great location, just north of downtown. Great price. Very private. We enjoyed our stay.

Bright and Spacious Apartment by Downtown Alameda
Our 2nd booking with this listing. It meets all expectations. Very clean. Anything needed for our stay was available. A well stocked kitchen was perfect for our meal preps. The super hosts have a generous welcome basket that was wonderful for our later arrival quick snacks. The hosts, Stanley and Virginia, are quick responders to any of our inquiries.

Contemporary Apartment in a 19th Century House
I definitely recommend this place if you want to have a peaceful trip around San Francisco Had a lovely 3 week stay at Michaelâs apartment in Oakland. The place is spacious, very well equipped, comfortable and has a big garden đ on top of that, the apartment is very close to everything youâll 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 đ¸ Michael and his wife are sweet and warm, and willing to help if needed. The perfect hosts! Thank you again guys â¤ď¸

Garden Apartment in Berkeley
We had a wonderful stay at Johnâs place - itâs a really lovely spot and the photos donât quite do it justice! The beautiful garden is a particular highlight. Itâs within walking distance to BART and nice shops and restaurants but on a sweet residential road. John was super helpful and welcoming - would highly recommend!

'A Suiteâ - BANK STREET FLATS - San Anselmo
We had another wonderful stay! Alisonâs place doesnât disappoint, it is our first choice for accommodation whenever we are in the area visiting family. Always fresh, clean and comfortable with a canât be beat location.

Stylish Studio Suite in San Francisco
As advertised, comfortable and affordable place at a great location in walking distance from Moscone.

Studio Suite with Rooftop Lounge in San Francisco
Stayed at The Donatello for 2 nights! Very easy check in and check out process. The hotel room was beautiful and spacious and and the staff was very courteous. The building is in downtown SF so it's not completely insulated from noise. Overall, I enjoyed my stay!

Enjoy a Hassle-Free Stay! Pet-friendly Property!
It was a clean, good stay. A bit noisy at night.

Private Mid-Century Modern W/ Secluded Yard
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.

Great Location-Fisherman's Wharf-2 bedrooms
Great stay - special cudos to Richard at the front desk - he provided excellent service. Rooftop deck is best in SF!

SoMa 9 Residences Room 9 Private Bath
Just like it says in the description. Good value and in Soma. The other unit in this place has a window and I think is nicer.

Studio Suite in the Heart of San Francisco!
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 donât 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 !

Rare Find! 2 Relaxing Units, Pool, Pet-friendly!
Stay was comfortable. No complaints.
