High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
I can’t count how many times I’ve stayed at Murthy’s place. It is always a pleasure to return to a well taken care of place.

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!
Great place to stay for our group of 8! Everything was clean and there were plenty of kitchen and bathroom supplies. Linda was responsive and helpful with anything that we needed. Only thing to note is that the parking is a bit tight for two cars.

5B/3b House High Ceiling w/ Office&Baby Loft Room
Perfect place for my kids and family. We had four adults and two kids and plenty more room! Place felt cozy and we really enjoyed our stay. Blocks away from Costco and the mall including lots of places to eat. Only a few minutes from major parks and things to do. Jiayi was incredibly accommodating and very kind.

Modern 2BR Cul-de-sac Charm!
William was responsive host, the home was cozy coupled with many amenities. The back yard was a nice space, good experience overall.

Short/ExtendedStay- Cozy 3BD+FruitGarden+Sunroom
We had an absolutely delightful stay at this Airbnb property. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The house itself was immaculate. It was clean, well- maintained, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made preparing meals a breeze. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable , which was a huge plus along with the sun room which we used as our office. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique charm of the house and the surrounding area.

Elegant Home (parking, selfcheckin)
Sunny's place was clean and comfortable. The hosts was very responsive. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

The stay was very peaceful and worth every penny. There was lots to do around the area and the place felt like home. The host are very nice and responsive. I look forwards to staying there again when I go back to San Jose

The Pacific - 2 blocks to Downtown!
Shining was very responsive. The doorknob was loose at one point and she immediately came to problem solve it, skiing my permission to come inside and change it. I was very impressed

2B2B Courtyard View Apt Near SAP/Apple 415
the stay was easy and comfortable. the area was great and convenient on top of the fact our host was quick and responsive w any needs. 10/10

2 Bedroom Modern Apartment in Downtown U4
Great place! I'll be back. Traveled with 4 of us (2 couples), had a great time. Apt had everything (soaps, bags, etc) and beds and pillows a plus. Easy parking, lovely neighborhood. Great value. Thank you for a wonderful 10 days!

🌟Cheerful 2B2B in prime location 🌲Redwood Pl Apt 3
Rainee's place was exactly as described. My co-worker and I stayed here for a few nights during a work trip. Parking in the gated area was great, but finding a spot on the street was difficult after 6pm. We didn't use the kitchen but it was well-equipped and nice to have. The beds were comfortable and cozy. We had some issues with the heat during a cold spell in the area but Rainee responded fast with solutions. Would definitely stay again if I'm back there for work.

Charming two bedroom apartment
Sheila was very responsive.

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.

Townhouse Studio #1
Jim's instructions for self-checkin and parking was easy to follow. Everything was clean. The location was right around the corner from a family member's home as well as a short walking distance to downtown Mountain View. The heater on the wall was great for keeping us warm on the chili nights. Everything in the kitchen worked well (stove, refrigerator, sink) and was clean upon arrival. There was no discrepancy between the pictures/descriptions and the actual rental unit. Although there was a bus stop outside the window, it is fairly quiet between about 10pm and 8am so getting a quiet night's sleep was no problem. I would stay there again b/c of the proximity to both downtown Mountain View and family. It's a great location and Jim is a friendly, welcoming host!

Comfortable, Modern, Bright w/Patio
Elena and Alberto were wonderful hosts. They home was very comfortable and welcoming, with friendly touches like welcoming chocolate and water ready. Check-in/out was a breeze and they were incredibly responsive with any questions. I'll absolutely look to them first when I'm traveling there again.

Efficiency close to SJSU & SJ Convention Center
this is my second time at the stay and it was just as pleasant as the first time; thank you!

Private Entrance Studio with in-unit bathroom
Great place, and great host. Very enjoyable stay at the studio. Also, Henry is very responsive to communication and an easy, friendly host to work with.

Entire Guest Suite Private Entrance Kitchen & Bath
Had a 5-day pleasant stay at Summer's place for work purposes. The surrounding neighborhood was busy but didn't disturb us too much. The bnb was well stocked with essentials, perfect for a stay like ours. BTW, a 15 minute walk or a 3 minute drive will take you to a nearby bagel place -- so good! I'd love to come back here and book again if my work calls for it. Thank you!

San Jose, Downtown, Cozy Craftsman Duplex
This 1918 craftsman home was just what I needed for a week long getaway. It had all the charm of an older home and functionality of what we come to expect in our modern age. Alicia was very helpful with parking and even offered her private driveway when street parking became a problem. She was also very helpful with negotiating with Airbnb for a one day credit when I decided to changemy stay duration. I love the small one bedroom apartment feel and the furnishings were very eclectic as well.

Private studio in downtown
Eugene is the consummate host and it’s the perfect place to stay for anyone visiting Silicon Valley. The neighborhood is safe, walkable and private. The accommodations are very comfortable and feels like home. Great place.

Walk to Santana Row + Valley Fair | 6min drive SJC
Flying into San Jose for a wedding at Santana Row, this was the perfect place to stay. After arriving, it was so nice to have space to get ready and only need to walk 12 minutes. Also, Thao was very communicative about details when getting close to arriving. I also appreciated that the door code was clearly set for the stay and not kept the same for years.

Stylish, Light-filled Cottage
Absolutely lovely, comfortable and peaceful. Super easy check in, very nice space with everything we needed. Thoughtful amenities and great overall hospitality/hosting. This place is a gem.
