AndreasRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The stay met our expectations. Sean was very friendly, gave us a lot of tips and also provided drinks and snacks, which was a great gesture. The area is very quiet and well located. At no time did we feel unsafe and in particular the possibility of parking in the garage was very advantageous. Therefore, highly recommended for a short stay.

Lovely apartment in Victorian home

ChrisRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Wonderful stay at Bruce and Chris's place. lovely location, easy to find and check in. the kitchen is stunning, has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. peaceful and quiet. Only note - Street parking can be a bit tricky outside the property at night time. We always ended up finding a spot on the street to the right on the side of the property, so a couple mins walk if that. Would definitely stay again. Thanks alot =]

Charming two bedroom apartment

RuthRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great week at Shielah’s place in Alameda. The 2 bedroom space was perfect for our visit with our son’s family very nearby. The beds are very comfortable, the linens are very well stocked, and then there were those extra added touches… a basket of toiletry items in the bathroom, a basket of helpful items that you might need during your stay but didn’t think to bring… those added touches make it extra special. And one other thing… her outdoor garden areas are delightful! Spring was a great time to see her handiwork!

Modern, comfortable Apartment, in a great location

KyleRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This was an excellent apartment to stay at for my wife and I for a few nights. It was a very clean, quiet environment up in the hillsides of Marin County. Driving up the hill was a little challenging at times but that’s just expected for the area. The host was very informative from the start and had all the necessary amenities needed. Having the whole downstairs unit was very nice. However, did hear the people above us a lot yet wasn’t too much of a bother since it was just a place to stay while we went out exploring the Bay Area. Would definitely recommend if visiting for a couple days!

Contemporary Apartment in a 19th Century House

JordanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I definitely recommend this place if you want to have a peaceful trip around San Francisco Had a lovely 3 week stay at Michael’s apartment in Oakland. The place is spacious, very well equipped, comfortable and has a big garden 😍 on top of that, the apartment is very close to everything you’ll need, 3 to 5 minutes walk to supermarkets, restaurants, banks, fast-food, coffee places, and direct buses to San Francisco. The neighbourhood is cute, peaceful The only flaw to this apartment is the lack of light in it, but the garden and its squirrels compensate 😸 Michael and his wife are sweet and warm, and willing to help if needed. The perfect hosts! Thank you again guys ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at John’s place - it’s a really lovely spot and the photos don’t quite do it justice! The beautiful garden is a particular highlight.

ZainRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a wonderful stay at Ori’s place! The neighborhood is green and peaceful, making it a perfect spot to relax. The place itself was amazing—well-maintained and exactly as described. Ori was an incredibly responsive host, always quick to reply and accommodating. I requested an extra blanket, and he immediately honored the request, which I truly appreciated. One small area for improvement: I did notice some black-colored bugs that looked like a larger version of a spider. I wasn’t sure if this was due to the locality or something that needs attention in the place, but it might be worth looking into. Overall, a great stay with a fantastic host! Would recommend.

Peaceful Escape in Quiet Oakland Neighborhood

KimRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I absolutely loved Sue's quiet, adorable cottage in Oakland. It was everything I wanted and more. She adds special touches that are above the normal expectations. There were snacks for us upon arriving too tired to go to the store. The mattress was amazingly comfortable. All amenities you could possibly need in the bathroom and kitchen and all very clean. Thank you Sue for sharing your home with us.

Maple Cottage

WendyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Sheryl is a spectacular host - thoughtful, extraordinarily responsive, helpful, and yet never intrusive. She is very knowledgeable about the property and has all of the resources necessary to keep it fully maintained. She's direct and very considerate - you feel as if you're speaking to a friend and not a business partner. I've been here for two months and it's been a perfect setting and temporary home for me and my dog while we wait for our house to be available. The Cottage is charming, efficient, extremely quiet and has all of the amenities one needs. But the most valuable asset is Sheryl's warmth, competence, and caring about her guests. I couldn't recommend her home more highly.

We had a lovely stay at Andrew’s Air BnB. Location was fantastic! One block from restaurants, bars and cafes. Didn’t need our car rental so we returned it early. Uber/Lifts were a good option when the walking was too far. One was always a few minutes away. The rental is ground level which for us was great. Safety measures were spot on. Thank you Andrew!!
