Ground floor, close to freeway & SFO, one parking
Highly recommend Hansen’s place in Daly City! It’s a quick uber ride into the city, easily accessible to freeways, and the airport. This location is also very quiet, virtually no neighborhood noise. It is easy to get into and Hansen was a very responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

Modern, Art-inspired home with Parking and Patio
This is the second time we have stayed at Jide's place and we were so happy it was available. We even had to change the dates because of a family emergency and Jide quickly accommodated the change. It provided us with a clean and peaceful during our visit.

Garden house
Very sweet family, very easy to communicate with! The Airbnb was very clean and had everything we would need. I don’t have any complaints.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Excellent place and great host !!
Recharge in a Modern House on a Quiet Street with a View
Farzad’s home was spotless and stylish—easily the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Every amenity we could need was thoughtfully provided, and the furniture and décor made the space feel truly luxurious. The location was just as impressive: gorgeous views, a quiet neighborhood, and quick drives to all the city’s sights. Farzad was an outstanding host, always responsive with helpful tips and information. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this stay.

Rare Find* Spacious 3bd/2ba Parking & Skyline View
Canadian family who was in the area as our daughter had a conference in San Francisco and we wanted a base for our family to spend some time together. Edwin’s home made for a very lovely stay. The place was quite spacious - very nice having two bathrooms and three separate bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable. Appreciated being able to open windows, nice large space for meals, sufficient dishes, cooking utensils, and very well organized with instructions for everything. Appreciated being able to drop off our luggage before check in. Parking inside the garage was also a huge bonus for us as well. The area is further from public transport so you either need a vehicle or to Uber. Small market within walking distance. Edwin was very responsive and made us feel very welcome.

Cozy 2-BR Garden Bungalow w/ Parking and King Bed
This place is so lovely. A very cute street. Quiet but close to all downtown has to offer. Enjoyable, stylish and comfortable decor. Nice beds too. Very well stocked kitchen with high quality appliances and cookware. Lots of light and gorgeous plants around the front the house

Cozy Garden suite 2 Bedrooms 4 Beds 1 Bath Parking
Larry and Ana's place was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at! The house was so well kept, the house contained every item you could think of and the backyard was so peaceful. Check-in was very easy and Larry and Ana responded quickly to any questions we had. The location was perfect for all our adventures we had planned, Ocean beach, Alcatraz, the Exploratorium, the San Francisco Zoo and the San Francisco Aquarium. We definitely would like to return. Our family of 4 had the best time!

Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Great old house, especially for families. It feels lived in by a family (and is decorated as such). That's great esp if you're traveling with your family; there's lots of useful things around the house and entertainments. Neighborhood is great as is the backyard!

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
Was a bit upset about the pool not being able to heat up but the kids still enjoyed themselves. Overall great stay

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom
This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Corinne was very responsive. She got back to us very quickly with answers to our questions. Her place was comfortable and perfect for us. Nice, quite location. We would stay again for sure.

Perfect home with pool for family vacations!
Such a nice place to stay in Silicon Valley. Tucked back into the beautiful hills, with a walking loop through the oak trees just down the street. Responsive host. A perfect retreat.

Silicon Valley Luxury I Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool
Very beautiful place, nothing to complain, we enjoy it.

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford
We had a wonderful stay at Bill's guest cottage. We found everything as advertised, and the surroundings, especially at sunrise, were serene. The vines were lovely and the morning air fresh and crisp. The beds were very comfortable, and the living space fully accommodated our party of three (two adults, one teenager). We spent most of our daytime out and about with nearby family, so we did not have a chance to try out the kitchen, but it was well-stocked. Bill was highly responsive throughout the booking process and answered our questions. We highly recommend!

Charming home, Shasta-Hanchett Park, Central SJ
Ben's Airbnb was wonderful! It was clean, well kept, had the rooms and items we needed, it had sunlight, a small garden and outdoor sitting area in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants, grocery and some sights. Ben was excellent to work with - responsive, clear and readily accessible. He was proactive in understanding our late night arrival and getting information to us in a timely manner. I would definitely repeat working with Ben. I highly recommend Ben and his Airbnb. Great place!!

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
Everything was comfortable and attractive but the kitchen stood out. It is well appointed for a couple who are used to cooking for themselves. The neighborhood was attractive and very quiet. Parking was never a problem. It is within walking distance of two grocery stores and an entire shopping center. The WiFi is great. This unit fit our needs very well.

3033 - Fully set up comfort studio
Great studio apartment, very comfortable bed, large kitchen, quick hot water in the shower. Was traveling for work and this little place checked all of the boxes.

Modern Cozy House Near Shops, Beach, Dining, Golf
We enjoyed staying here. The location was convenient and easy to find. We felt safe and walked to Target and other shops at the shopping center down the road. The house is about 15 minutes from San Francisco International Airport, 20-30 min from Japantown and downtown. The house was clean and well-cared for.

King Suite w/ Balcony View. Work Space, Garage, AC
We had a great stay! The place is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Rick was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, especially good collection of pots and pans. We had booked the home for 10 people, but initially, bedding was only set up for 8. After reaching out, Rick promptly delivered the extra towels, sheets, and a blanket we needed—within just a few hours. That was truly impressive!

New!! Silicon Valley Charming 3B2B House Fast wifi
There were several things I really enjoyed about Danping's place. One, the views of the Bay were stunning. Clean windows had a lot to do with that. Two, the hardwood floors were in perfect shape. Not always the case. Made for a cool bungalow feel. Three, the kitchen was spotless with a new and large refrigerator. A must for a family of five. Four, the bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. I was in bad need of sleep. Five, the temperature controls were a Honeywell with four weekday and weekend settings each. I have the same at home. Made for an efficient use of heat. Six, though we tidied up quite a bit, it was nice to know that we did not need to be so anal about cleaning. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Danping was exceptionally responsive. Not so easy around the holidays, so it was very much appreciated.

My family and I spent Christmas and New Year's at Justin's place, enjoying his beautiful decorated tree, thoughtful gifts, and delicious cake from a well known bakery and the stunning views of the mountains and city lights, including a firework show from the city. Justin‘s house is just big enough that we all have our own personal space but cozy enough that as a family we were all together.

OceanBeach 2bdrm2Bath FreeParking!
Marianne was friendly, responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of during our stay. She even bought extra food to help us get started knowing we were flying in from a long distance! So generous and thoughtful! She gave us many local recommendations for places to eat and areas to explore in the area. This unit is a short walk to the beach and eateries. Having a garage to park in was a huge bonus! Please know there isn’t a washer/dryer so might be a challenge for longer stays like ours (6 days, 5 nights with kiddos). Otherwise this is a wonderful place to stay with a fabulous host. I highly recommend it!
