Entire Villa - Retreat - Refresh - Relax
everything was super nice, only thing was the charger didnt work which was very bummed out, but overall house is super spacious and nice, plenty of room for family and friends! mason was helpful & communicative!

“Alameda Island Hideaway”- Clean, Safe, Modern
Unit C was exactly as described. The bedrooms upstairs are spacious, with plenty of closet space and a nice dresser in each room. The bathroom upstairs is a standard 70-80's bathroom with a shower/tub , one sink and toilet. The kitchen downstairs is well equipped with pots and pans. Nice washer and dryer in the unit. Everything was impeccably clean and well organized. The sofabed feels cold because it is not fabric so I would suggest putting a few blankets under the sheets if you intend to use it. There are extra blankets at the place. The unit is at the very end of a driveway so it is very quiet and peaceful. There is a nice fenced in yard if you have little ones. A great benefit is that there is an excellent bakery and well-stocked supermarket less than a block away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heather's place and would rent it again in a heartbeat!

Private Pool Villa for family getaways
What to say. It was so peaceful we kept taking naps. It is a beautiful home nestled in a rolling hillside. The design is spacious with enough room to congregate with or separate from your travel companions. The backyard garden provides beauty and a home for a variety of birds, squirrels, and lizards. You might even spot a few deer at the top of the hillside. Sean and Wendy were great hosts. They responded to my requests quickly and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests. This is a definitely a home to return to.

Cozy Garden Unit with All Amenities
We loved our stay at Michelle's. The AirBnB is everything that you'd hope for in an AirBnB - the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and everything was well thought through. There was enough closet space, amenities, a small kitchenette and a washer-dryer (although they did warn it was not as large). We loved being able to just use the small toaster oven on nights that we didn't go out. We loved that the bathroom had a bidet (something you don't see in the US a lot). The area is lovely and peaceful too. It was a bit chilly so we didn't really use the outdoor patio / seating but it was a nice, private space that we could call home for a week while visiting San Francisco. We would love to stay again when we're in the city.

Noe Valley entire guest suite overlooking downtown
Very comfortable apartment, Veronica was available and responded quick for all queries

2 bedrooms house with sauna
Peter's Airbnb was even more beautiful in person than on the listing! It has a very relaxing, cozy, and calming atmosphere with beautiful decorations. There are trails to walk around on the property that have beautiful views and beautiful plants. I had this Airbnb for a work-trip for only 3 nights, but wished I could've stayed much longer!

Modern beach bungalow - 1/2 block from ocean
Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this place. The home is lovely and well equipped. Excellent location. I have zero complaints! This place is something special and you will not regret booking.

Sunny, Quiet, Separate Studio in Private Home
This is a great place to stay. The room is connected to but secluded from the main residence. located under a couple of magnificent seqoia trees. 10 min walk to Menlo Park small center, cycling distance to the university.
House rentals in San Jose

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
Bill was the most gracious, proactive host. We loved the house and he communicated with us throughout the process. The only 2 things we didn't love was the really windy, narrow road. And we expected a huge walkable garden which definitely wasn't the case. Its on a steep hill with no walkable garden. The upstairs balcony has great views and so do most all the rooms. Great home. Great host.

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
We are repeat guests at Murthy's place. It is ideal for a couple who wants to easily walk to 2 great grocery stores plus Bevmo and hang in or wander out and simply walk to numerous restaurants, shops, etc. That said you are located on a very private and quiet street. The kitchen is well stocked with appropriate ware. The bed was super comfortable and the couch in the main room converts to a bed or just a get spot to watch the numerous channels available to you. Murthy and Rima are such kind hosts! We got a personal welcome letter and a number of treats they left. They are great communicators and offer lots of information and guidance about the area if needed. One of our favorite parts about the unit is the great skylight in the bathroom. Its fun to shower with that as your only light!! There were lots of towels, nice soap and shampoo too. There were a ton of amenities we could have used but our trip was short. Things like the little washer / dryer in the unit are a great hit. Awesome!

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Excellent place and great host !!

Spacious 4bd 4ba in the heart San Jose!
Great place.

Modern 3 bedrooms 2 baths private flat on 2nd FL
Shaun's place was exceptional and fitted our needs perfectly. Appliances and bathrooms were the sort I wish I had at my house. Kitchen was fully furnished., even with snacks and coffee. It was quiet, secure and the private driveway much appreciated. Communication was within minutes even in the late evening. A gold standard against which all other B&B's might be measured. A short drive to Golden Gate Park and many other attractions. Beds and linens were also exceptionally good. Internet worked fine. A few stairs up but not bad.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Great place to stay with everything you need. Would stay here again. Thank you!

G & M #1 Livermore Wine/ E-Bike Getaway (Pets ok)
Don & Lori are such incredible hosts! Our trip ended up being shorter than anticipated, and I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. I was traveling with my dog & foster dog and the park across the street was so perfect! The neighborhood was so peaceful and walkable and we had such a peaceful night’s rest. The home felt like staying with a family member and had so many great touches of home and the hosts communication was exceptional. I arrived late in the dark & they put out a welcome sign for me so I knew I was in the right place. Highly recommend and will def stay here again when I come back for a longer workshop!

Cole Valley Casa
Our stay at Caroline's place was wonderful. We have two kids so the private outdoor space was great. The location was wonderful with restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery, etc. Also walking distance to Golden Gate Park. I would definitely recommend.
Condo rentals in San Jose

Lakeside Retreat (w/ private parking)
This is a great listing with a private bedroom, spacious living and dining areas, and a fully equipped kitchen. For San Francisco, the rent is quite reasonable. The place is clean and well-organized, with a washer, dryer, and everything you need for daily life. There’s also indoor parking. We stayed for four nights and often brought food back for dinner—having a fridge and microwave was super convenient. The neighborhood is generally quiet, though the ceiling isn’t soundproof and you can hear footsteps from upstairs. Earplugs helped. Kirk was very responsive and warm, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Twenty minutes to SF, one block to beach, fire pit
Beautiful condo only a block and 1/2 away from the beach/pier. The home was fully stocked and the beds were very very comfy! Loved the outdoor patio area with the fire pit.

Your Oasis Awaits - Downtown PA, Stanford 657
Great place. Exactly what we needed. Conveniently located, quiet home base for our visit. Will use this place again if we come back.

2BR North Beach - Perfect for Business or Leisure
Perfect stay in a perfect place in SF.

⭐️On Santana Row! NEW Entire Condo! Self-check-in✅
This is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting the San Jose area. All the action is just downstairs! It’s a very safe and elegant area. The place itself has a spacious, welcoming feeling and will make you feel at home. I highly recommend it!

Santana Row Properties #1 - Silicon Valley Getaway
This was our second stay at this property and I'm sure we'll be back. They are so responsive and helpful, and always get back to you right away. The place itself is just so perfect. Located right above Santana row, but it feels private. The space is big, and the 2.5 bathrooms really help! They have every amenity you could ask for and then some! you feel right at home. They make checking in and out very easy. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and anyone else interested!

City Lights and Sunset Views Stylish 2bed Condo!
Good deal, quiet and clean. Host very communicative, would stay again.

Spacious 1 bedroom condo w/ roofdeck in Nob Hill
I was in SF for a conference that was taking place in the financial district, but my husband and I wanted to stay in a more central area with character. Ehson's location was an awesome home base. We explored lots of the city on foot and uber'd when needed. He needs to update the photos - the updated furniture and decor is really cute and comfy. Giant TV. The decor is not cluttered (I despise cluttered Airbnb's). The view from the living room window is incredible. You would have to pay major money at a hotel to have that bridge and bay view - so this Airbnb is a great value. We felt 100% safe around the apartment and in the surrounding neighborhoods. The neighbors in our gated area were SUPER quiet and we only saw one other person in 7 days. *The only suggestion would be adding black-out curtains to the bedroom window. Overall, Ehson was super helpful and gave us lots of restaurant and general city recommendations. He responds faster than any other host we've had. 10 stars for Ehson!
