Gorgeous 3-bedroom home, quiet, close to shopping!
The Home was great, all amenities were perfect, had everything we needed, felt just like home & would happily book again!

Los Gatos/Cambrian COTTAGE-HOT TUB/pvt.parking
Location was very quiet and peaceful. The room is clean and well organized. The hospitality of host was great. If I have a next chance, I want to stay again.

Tropical Oasis, Downtown Palo Alto/Stanford 655
April and her team are great! I’d love to stay here again!

Epic Santa Cruz Mountain Views in Rustic Home
This place was in a beautiful location, and our host was very responsive to the questions we had before we arrived. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking to get out of the city!

Panoramic Bay Views Sanctuary
We stayed at Danielle's place over the Christmas holidays. The view from this Airbnb is outstanding! On clear days you can see all the way across the bay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It has a very Berkeley vibe to it, with lots of interesting international artifacts. If you are an aviation fan, you will love the decor with a propeller and lots of flight oriented items. My daughter's fiancé really enjoyed having a grand piano to play. He said it was an outstanding instrument. The only negatives were that some of the furniture is somewhat worn and there were a few cobwebs. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Private Cottage near Redwood City and San Carlos Downtowns
Great experience in every way. Nico was response and friendly. Place was just as described. Would definitely stay again

Remote Mountain Suite with Hot Tub
I highly recommend this hidden gem and hope to return soon. The fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings were absolutely energizing. And I had the best night's sleep in months. My stay could only have been better if I had time to explore this beautiful property.

Gr8View-LrgDeck-BBQ-Spa-PoolTable-2xOven-Sleeps12
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.

Comfortable Whole Home on two house lot
This place was awesome, clean, we just loved it all around! Wish we could have stayed longer but he is fully booked. Everything we needed especially with a mobile toddler! Thank you Wrich for everything and all my necessities and requests, very responsive! Hope to stay with you again!

The Coach House
Really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House! If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and out of the ordinary for a weekend getaway- this is the place. Toni had clear and thoughtful instructions, both on the app and inside the cabin. I’d recommend checking in during the daytime if it’s your first time on highway 17. Thankfully it wasn’t our first rodeo and we were able to find the place at night without too much trouble. There’s a lot to explore around the property, including horses, goats, wild deer, etc. I’d recommend to anyone that wanted to stay near the Santa Cruz/Los Gators area! :)

Pet Friendly w/Peloton, Fast WiFi, Fire Pit, BBQ
Ori was a very nice host. He sends clear instructions/useful tips on locating the house as well as how to use the amenities provided. The house was perfect for my trip, felt like I has everything I needed. Would definitely recommend.

Cozy Suite, Private Entrance + Bath (Pets Welcome)
We were looking for a place where we can bring two cats and found this place! The additional charge of cats were not too bad comparing to the hotel. The spacious restroom to allow us to place a cat litter as instructed. It would be better if they renovate beds but I slept well regardless. The owner was very responsive. A desk is good for remote working, which I appreciated a lot. The place also had dedicated parking for two cars, making very convenient! The neighborhood was niec and quiet (with some cats around). Thank you, Tina.

Bicycle Shack @ La Honda Pottery
This is a super sweet lovely little gem perched over a creek… benefit of having cats and lots of nature around. Incredible location, and lovely hosts. Ideal for a base, writing, reflection and pausing.

Ground Floor Upgraded Victorian in Alameda 2BR/1BA
We had a great stay at Ramil's. Everything was as described in the listing. We were a group of four friends having a Bay Area getaway and the place was perfect for us. Plenty of space for us all. Ramil was very communicative and was available if we had questions. Check in was easy and the place was easy to find. Parking on the street was easy too. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels in the bathroom. The shower was a bit quirky, but there are clear directions on how to use it. We thought the home was a very good value for the location and would happily go back.

Cozy cabin the Redwoods - Dogs Welcome!
This is the kind of place that makes you want to go back! I stayed here with my two young boys for a couple days while visiting the Redwoods. The house is just as described - cozy and charming. This place is especially perfect for families with little ones. My boys had so much fun exploring the art room, feeding the banana slugs, and playing with the wooden train set in the playroom. Kristy was very communicative and helpful in offering tips for exploring the area. Highly recommend this spot to anybody looking for an awesome spot to call home.

G & M #1 Livermore Wine/ E-Bike Getaway (Pets ok)
Lori and Don raise the bar on how to welcome guests. This home away from home was warm and welcoming, gorgeously stocked with small kindnesses to ease in travelers showing up late. I loved seeing a small flock of sheep and goats graze the pasture behind the house in the early morning, and hearing the chickens cluck in the frontyard coop while getting some fresh morning air.

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
Always a favorite spot for us! We especially appreciate to ability to easily get anywhere in the South Bay Area. Highways 85 and 280 are close by as well as the San Jose airport. The place was super quiet, as always, and very private. We'll be back for our next visit! Thank you.

Downtown Menlo - Spacious house
Beautiful vintage California home in a quiet neighborhood within close proximity to restaurants and Stanford. Neha was very responsive to a bathroom water leak from old pipes that was fixed the day of discovery. Backyard was lovely to relax and enjoy a glass of wine after a long day.

Spacious 4bd 4ba in the heart San Jose!
We had a great stay, nice clean home.

Sunny Oakland Hills Home w/ views of SF & Oakland
Evita is a great host. We had an amazing time, this house is very well located and close to many places.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Christine's home was neat and clean, located in a nice walkable neighborhood. Christine responded to messages in a friendly and timely fashion, and she went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate us!

Alameda House Near Park & Beach
Great place, great location. the place is clean. The area is safe. Recommended to everyone.

Private Modern House: Stunning Views & Yard
Aram was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in. His home is absolutely breathtaking, offering stunning panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. The spacious living area and well-equipped kitchen provide everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Every corner of the house, including the serene backyard deck, is a true delight—offering privacy, lush greenery, and a thoughtful design that reflects Aram’s keen attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would wholeheartedly recommend Aram’s place to any of my friends visiting the area.
