Enjoy your Peaceful Private Room w/ Double Bed
Great!

2 Bedrooms in the Sunshine House
What a delightful stay! Leda is a fantastic host, and her home is absolutely a great find. So quiet and safe. The house backs up onto a salt water lagoon—it’s a nature lover’s paradise. The beds are the best, excellent sleep is in your future here. The location is conveniently located to jump on the light rail to the ferry building and then San Francisco, or go to the Marin coast, or Sonoma. One should not let this opportunity pass by.

Discover the Famous Sunset SF starship house
My family loved it, you feel home right away.. We have enjoyed the house as much as San Francisco 😊

Brand new, cheerful, 2 bedroom home in Oakland
I booked super last minute, and Henry was great. Very chill. His place matched the photos exactly. Neat, clean, and the w/d was a nice bonus! Close to the lake and vegan options (Vegan Mob was amazing). Although I couldn't take advantage of it, I appreciate the 3:00 check-in and 12:00 check-out. Neighborhood is pretty quiet with an occasional dog barking. Street parking was available. I will definitely stay again. 💜

Studio Mountain view/Orchard/Ranch/Working
Always a great time when staying here. Jessica is great she responds every time within 5min.. and always has an answer and the solution. It’s a great place to go to get some peace and quiet. Love it.

The Sunshine House on the Water
Leda was an incredibly kind and welcoming host. We instantly felt at home and the house was very cozy. She went above and beyond during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. We will be sure to visit again and recommend to friends and family!

Oasis:Outdoor Patios, Classic Charm &Modern Luxury
Karen is a wonderful host! She took great care of us and her home feels cozy and comfortable. I would absolutely stay again at this beautiful Oasis in the woods!

Beautiful hiking spot!
the house is super " zen". clean, neat, just sunlight and stylish. Naomi took me to hike the mountain nearby. without her, I would not hike that far and get to enjoy the magnificent beauty from top of mountain. she is super knowledgeable about tree, animal around the mountain as well. like I got private hike walk.

Private room near DT Walnut Creek
This is such a great rental! Keeping it bookmarked for future needs and sharing with friends. The house was very clean and comfortable. Ruby was very responsive when needed. It’s close to so many places, but is also on a quiet street — best of both worlds. Would be happy to recommend this place to others!

41SFSU/Lakeahore beautiful spacious masterensuite
Lois is a fantastic, generous, and very hospitable host. When we called her, she responded immediately. The place is nice and tidy and both the area and the household are quiet and peaceful. The surrounding neighborhood is walkable, and SFSU is super close, making it perfect for anyone visiting the university (and anyone else too!)

33 Acres Ranch Room Mountain View Natual Spring
Beautiful place.

CHIC & EXCLUSIVE HOME IN PRIVATE TRANQUIL SETTING
Roble Rd was the perfect place for us to land for a very long stay for a botched all house remodel. The private, gated location was perfect as we had to park bicycles and two cars and my dog had more room to run than ever. The nearby Berkeley shopping and restaurants were wonderful - it's a great location and a very nice house....

Charming Home with Warmth and Piece.
Quiet cozy neighborhood, convenient travel and comfortable living spaces.

Entire Charming, Private Ste close to shops & fwys
Lovely peaceful 1 br cozy unit w large veranda settled in the hillside. Eucalyptus scented breezes and backdrop of nearby park preserve a great refuge from hectic world below. Very accessible and convenient to get back and forth while on call at nearby hospital. Police substation at base of hill and peripheral location near Chabot Lake Park adds to feeling of secure location. Reconfirm entrance instructions, Meg is a very helpful and caring hostess.

Relaxed and Spacious 2 BR Apartment with a Patio
Very spacious home and Roland was a very kind and attentive host. Comfortable beds and couches, brand new oven in the kitchen, and the patio in back was a nice retreat at the end of the day. Roland was always available when we had questions. The house is also easy to reach, especially if arriving by taxi or bus. A corner store across the street was great for a couple things we forgot, and some ingredients for cooking. This neighborhood is pretty rough, though, and you should keep this in mind when booking. It was not a big deal for us as we used to live in this part of Oakland and knew what we were going into, but for a young family or someone not familiar with Oakland, this might be a shock. The home is a great home base for a trip, and it is very close to public transit (huge!), but this neighborhood isn't somewhere you'll enjoy exploring on a walk as a tourist. Parking is also pretty bad, you are unlikely to find a spot on the block the house is on.

Modern Home in Alameda
It was great staying at Rin and Lynn's place! I stayed here with my Dad and sister. I appreciated that the photos accurately recapitulate the home itself, and size of each room (unlike many other listings where a fishbowl or zoomed out effect is used to feign the appearance of large rooms). This is one of the most functional AirBnB's that I have stayed in too (e.g. kitchen, parking garage, guest parking, etc). Safe/nice location, and easy for us to run quick errands or commute to our family nearby, across the bridge, or south of the city. We'd love to come back!

Spacious Sunny Lake Merritt 1/1 House w/parking
The accommodations were accurately explained in the listing. The neighborhood is quiet and a quick walk to restaurants.

A cozy townhouse
Very cozy and clean. It had everything we needed. Hong was very responsive and helpful. The area is quiet, safe, and convenient.

Beautiful Cozy Cottage in a Great Location!
Had a terrific time in this little apartment just off lakeshore. Very comfortable, with lots of space and a decent kitchen. Location also terrific.

Modern Retreat near Levi’s Stadium & the Tech Hub
Juiling was extremely responsive. An excellent host

Stunning Bay Night View in Modern Style Deck 2BR
Very beautiful home. Rooms felt a little private being separate and not so close together. Definitely will be back.

3 Bed 2 bath San Mateo Home
Thomas is a great host and is great with his communication and very responsive. His place has a great location. It is on the corner of a semi-busy street, but still felt private inside. AC units were great to have on the hot days we were there. Cooled down in the evening quickly as we were close to a winding lagoon with a beautiful trail for walking. Thank you, Thomas. We'll back next time we can make it down there.
