Private Studio Apartment with private entrance.

AlexRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This is a wonderful and quiet place right near downtown Palo Alto and University Avenue. Extremely convenient access to Palo Alto, Stanford, and the peninsula area. Michael’s home is very quiet and the place is extremely comfortable. If you need a quiet, clean, cozy place to stay, this is an excellent choice. I would happily return on a future trip.

Quiet Oceanview Retreat

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
If you are looking for a peaceful stay in a lovely neighborhood up in the hills with a gorgeous view of the ocean, Cory’s is the place. The property is very clean, in a modern style with all the amenities - w&d, great kitchen, large tv. My favorite was sitting on the deck enjoying the ocean views. Great neighborhood - quiet, safe and plenty of parking. Cory was a great host - responsive, friendly and helpful. Especially when I locked myself out!

3 bedroom in Pacifica, 16 min to SF, 13 min to SFO

AlexRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I had a fantastic stay! The Airbnb was exactly as listed—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The ocean views from the living room and larger bedroom were stunning, and hearing the waves made it even more relaxing. The location was perfect, with several restaurants within walking distance and easy access to San Francisco. It’s close enough to visit the city quickly but far enough to enjoy a peaceful escape. The host was responsive, and check-in was seamless. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Cozy & Homey 1BR Apartment in Westborough SSFO

UraelRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This 1 bedroom in South San Francisco was nice and cozy. Living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom really clean and well kept. It is a good stay if travel back and forth to SFO airport is important for you. Not ideal if you want to stay closer to San Francisco's popular attractions and main city area. Would highly recommend as a 2 person getaway stay.

Private Yard No Stairs! 1 bed unit @ Mid Palo Alto

AnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Angela is an amazing host, always attentive to any need you might have, always responding very quickly to any request or doubt I had. Also, the apartment is beautiful, the garden is peaceful and extremely enjoyable. Upon arrival there was a small issue in the bathroom and within the same day Angela was able to fix it. The way Angela dealt with me with a friendly, accessible, and kind way made my stay easy and it really felt like a home away from home. I definitely recommend this as a wonderful place to stay, either for short or longer term stays and I can only thank Angela for being an amazing, wonderful host.

Modern Menlo Park 2 Bedroom Apartment #1

KathleenRating, 5 stars11 months ago
I was very pleased with our accommodations. We originally had booked to stay at one of their properties in Elon Menlo and we were asked if we would mind switching to Anton Menlo to accommodate a guest who wanted to stay longer. Synergy made sure that we had the same type of accommodation we had originally booked for the same price and everything was perfect. We were still very near our son and daughter-in-law, who live in Elon Menlo. The apartment was very spacious and well appointed. We had a wonderful trip!!!
An inviting open living area includes a wooden dining table with four chairs, a cozy futon, and a comfortable armchair. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and shelving displaying various decorative items. Natural light illuminates the space through multiple windows.

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub

NelsonRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including strong WiFi, parking, and bathroom amenities. The location made it easy to get into San Francisco while still having a quiet place to return to. Also great views and near to hiking. What really stood out, though, was the host’s incredible responsiveness. We had a lock issue during our stay, and they went above and beyond—driving an hour and a half to personally bring us a key to the side door to ensure we felt safe. That level of dedication and care made all the difference, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a convenient and well-hosted experience!
