Ground floor, close to freeway & SFO, one parking
Highly recommend Hansen’s place in Daly City! It’s a quick uber ride into the city, easily accessible to freeways, and the airport. This location is also very quiet, virtually no neighborhood noise. It is easy to get into and Hansen was a very responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

Modern, Art-inspired home with Parking and Patio
This is the second time we have stayed at Jide's place and we were so happy it was available. We even had to change the dates because of a family emergency and Jide quickly accommodated the change. It provided us with a clean and peaceful during our visit.

Garden house
Very sweet family, very easy to communicate with! The Airbnb was very clean and had everything we would need. I don’t have any complaints.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
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.
Recharge in a Modern House on a Quiet Street with a View
Farzad's place is a major reason that my SF tour is awesome! Very quiet and peaceful location, clean interior, modern design/renovation of the house. Various complementaries in the kitchen. EV charging in the garage. If I come back to SF in the future, I will definitely stay at Farzad's.

Rare Find* Spacious 3bd/2ba Parking & Skyline View
Canadian family who was in the area as our daughter had a conference in San Francisco and we wanted a base for our family to spend some time together. Edwin’s home made for a very lovely stay. The place was quite spacious - very nice having two bathrooms and three separate bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable. Appreciated being able to open windows, nice large space for meals, sufficient dishes, cooking utensils, and very well organized with instructions for everything. Appreciated being able to drop off our luggage before check in. Parking inside the garage was also a huge bonus for us as well. The area is further from public transport so you either need a vehicle or to Uber. Small market within walking distance. Edwin was very responsive and made us feel very welcome.

Cozy 2-BR Garden Bungalow w/ Parking and King Bed
We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. It was very clean, well located in a delightful older part of Alameda, and we enjoyed walking the neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Garden suite 2 Bedrooms 4 Beds 1 Bath Parking
Large place with a nice patio area, close enough for a walk to the beach or the park and I had a wonderful time there, grocery store within walking distance, was able to explore most of the city and the host was so sweet

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 Large 4BR Home with POOL
I can’t say enough great things about this place!!!!! Perfect location for my family. We are originally from the area and were visiting back home from Ohio. Love the place love the location. Unfortunately the pool wasn’t working which for us in the Midwest we don’t see a pool between September and May were sad we didn’t get to swim as much as we wanted but it wasn’t in the cards this trip. We will for sure stay here again!

Retreat @ Oasis Pool/Hot Tub/Billiards/Game SF Bay
I booked this home for my colleagues from overseas, and they had a fantastic stay. The host was highly professional and responsive, promptly addressing all requests and ensuring everyone’s comfort throughout their visit. Their attentiveness made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Fantastic location, just a short walk to the Castro, in a lovely neighborhood.

Perfect home with pool for family vacations!
Such a nice place to stay in Silicon Valley. Tucked back into the beautiful hills, with a walking loop through the oak trees just down the street. Responsive host. A perfect retreat.

Oakland Hills home with Pool!
This house is incredibly spacious and looks exactly like the photos. All of the linens are well organized and the kitchen had tons of counter space. The fireplace was dreamy in the kitchen and we loved the absolutely enormous television! Very, very soft beds as well.

Silicon Valley Luxury I Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool
Very beautiful place, nothing to complain, we enjoy it.

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

Charming home, Shasta-Hanchett Park, Central SJ
Ben's Airbnb was wonderful! It was clean, well kept, had the rooms and items we needed, it had sunlight, a small garden and outdoor sitting area in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants, grocery and some sights. Ben was excellent to work with - responsive, clear and readily accessible. He was proactive in understanding our late night arrival and getting information to us in a timely manner. I would definitely repeat working with Ben. I highly recommend Ben and his Airbnb. Great place!!

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
Everything was comfortable and attractive but the kitchen stood out. It is well appointed for a couple who are used to cooking for themselves. The neighborhood was attractive and very quiet. Parking was never a problem. It is within walking distance of two grocery stores and an entire shopping center. The WiFi is great. This unit fit our needs very well.

Modern 2BR in Rockridge / Berkeley, Walkable
We had an epic three days at Lolo's place and are so grateful we had the opportunity. We needed to pivot last minute to find an Airbnb during our Spring Break to visit family and Lolo was super responsive and even let us check in early so it rental car wasn't sitting out front packed with luggage. parking was easy, neighborhood is fantastic. I grew up in Alameda so I personally love the area and it felt so great to explore the neighborhood. My husband and 7yo walked to get coffee and pastries in the morning, our 2yo enjoyed the playground nearby. the Airbnb itself has everything we needed, even a nice low to the ground cot for our toddler to sleep in, kids books and dishes. Enjoyed Ethiopian food for dinner one night. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip, I wish I was still there.

3033 - Fully set up comfort studio
The suite was spacious, spotlessly clean and exceptionally neat and tidy. Although we didn’t really use the kitchen, it was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable and the unit was very quiet- allowing for a great night’s sleep.

Modern Cozy House Near Shops, Beach, Dining, Golf
We enjoyed staying here. The location was convenient and easy to find. We felt safe and walked to Target and other shops at the shopping center down the road. The house is about 15 minutes from San Francisco International Airport, 20-30 min from Japantown and downtown. The house was clean and well-cared for.

New!! Silicon Valley Charming 3B2B House Fast wifi
There were several things I really enjoyed about Danping's place. One, the views of the Bay were stunning. Clean windows had a lot to do with that. Two, the hardwood floors were in perfect shape. Not always the case. Made for a cool bungalow feel. Three, the kitchen was spotless with a new and large refrigerator. A must for a family of five. Four, the bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. I was in bad need of sleep. Five, the temperature controls were a Honeywell with four weekday and weekend settings each. I have the same at home. Made for an efficient use of heat. Six, though we tidied up quite a bit, it was nice to know that we did not need to be so anal about cleaning. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Danping was exceptionally responsive. Not so easy around the holidays, so it was very much appreciated.

My family and I spent Christmas and New Year's at Justin's place, enjoying his beautiful decorated tree, thoughtful gifts, and delicious cake from a well known bakery and the stunning views of the mountains and city lights, including a firework show from the city. Justin‘s house is just big enough that we all have our own personal space but cozy enough that as a family we were all together.

The White Rose Ranch (Sleeps 10 or 10+ with Annex)
we were working down there; the neighborhood seems very nice and safe. We end up stay an extra day, bc it took longer to finish the project. No complain on the house.
