Guesthouse vacation rentals in San Francisco

Staying with Rosa felt like visiting family—warm, welcoming, and effortless. From the moment I arrived, she provided a thoughtful introduction to the cottage, along with fantastic recommendations for local spots. The cottage itself is private, secure, and beautifully maintained. The bed is incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights, and the bathroom is modern and spotless. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from some of San Francisco’s best restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, and bars, making it easy to explore. But beyond the convenience, what made this stay truly special was Rosa and Syd’s hospitality. Their kindness and warmth made my experience unforgettable, and their incredibly friendly dogs added an extra layer of joy to my visit. I can't wait to plan another trip to San Francisco, and I know exactly where I'll be staying—back with Rosa, Syd, and their wonderful pups.

Our stay at the Quail House was everything we wanted and so much more. A truly magical place. Judith was also an incredible host and a pleasure to get to know.

Such a serene location! Nestled amongst the trees, this Airbnb will have you feeling like you’re a world away without being far from amenities at all. My husband and I enjoy staying here tremendously. The place was spotless and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Lea was one of the friendliest hosts I’ve ever come across and made us feel warm and welcomed. Can’t wait to visit again!

Great place to stay at with responsive hosts. I enjoyed our stay. I’d consider staying at this place again.

Victoria’s little cottage was a comfortable and cozy hidden gem! In a great location with some incredibly cute and friendly dogs. We were in town looking for housing as it was a peaceful place to unwind after long days of house hunting! Thank you Victoria for your friendliness and hospitality. We look forward to being Oakland neighbors soon!

It was a great stay. They have a beautiful property and garden. Berkley is a great walking city. It was fun to explore. This was my 2nd time to Berkeley, and my wife and kid's first. She loved the city. Thanks for a great stay.

beautiful backyard with hot tub. very quiet area. highly recommended.

The apartment is ideally located for visiting Stanford and is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees and flowers, and lots of birds. The host is very friendly and responsive

The place was quiet, tidy, and cozy in a peaceful neighborhood. Great view of the creek in the back patio! Host provided a free bottle of wine for our stay which was appreciated. Highly recommended!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful! Very accommodating and very clean and quiet. Arthur was the perfect host! Our only issue was the parking. We were in San Jose for a church conference that took place off of 1st Street near 237. We wouldn't get back to the cottage until after 10 p.m. so had to park a block or so away both nights. But, it won't stop us from returning. We will be back for next year's conference. Thanks again Arthur!

When we entered Mary Lee’s backyard where the unit is located, we were instantly pleased with how beautiful and well landscaped it is. The studio is well built, with attention to detail and the use of quality materials. The décor was also pleasant and well thought out. In addition, we were satisfied with the fact that they provide 100% cotton towels and linen for the bed. The kitchen was well stocked with stainless steel cookware and everything we needed. Mary Lee and her husband David were friendly and responsive to all our requests. We would be happy to stay at their place again.

This spot is very well located, quiet, clean with everything you need. Very comfortable bedding. Very pleasant shaded patio. Marilynn is very friendly and responsive. An example, broken coffee maker changed within the next hour. We had a very good stay in this accommodation. Thanks again!

Overall, a very nice stay. Michelle was very responsive and quick to answer any questions I had. There was a bit of a hiccup but was all on our end and we enjoyed our stay there. Michelle and Victoria are very friendly and kind people.

Very comfortable place in a perfect location with accommodating hosts. We love the deck. Great location for walking and biking the coastal trail.

Host was super friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

Tidy, clean place with enough amenities for one or two people. The dog was able to roam a bit on a lead, as there was virtually no traffic in the immediate vicinity. Great view.

Xiaol’s place was nestled in a super quiet suburban neighborhood. It was peaceful, we didn’t hear a thing when we slept. The house was spacious enough we enjoyed daily yoga. My husband loved the bedroom mattress. I really loved the sofa bed because it was firm and even. I don’t sleep on soft mattresses so the sofa bed let me sleep like a baby. The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed. I enjoyed complete privacy while Xiaole responded our questions but left us undisturbed. The large screen TV was pristine and very easy to use as well. The house had what we exactly needed. So if you need a private, peaceful house, you can’t go wrong with Xiaole’s listings!

Charming cottage! Louis was a great host (didn’t get a chance to meet Jess!). The neighborhood is quiet and very peaceful! There’s a very nice private patio, great place to have your morning coffee and just relax

Steven’s place near Jonestown was terrific. My dog and I stayed for 10 days. There is a park just down the street. It’s a quiet safe neighborhood.

Silvia is the most wonderful host! Thoughtful and attentive. She has a welcome snack and champagne waiting for you when you arrive. She’s truly thought of everything! The Studio is also great! Private and peaceful. Very well stocked. She’s got everything you’ll need! We loved the private outdoor area to enjoy the sunshine. We stayed for a longer amount of time and she made sure we had fresh linens for the bed and fresh towels. We would absolutely stay here again.

Flora’s place was great for our recent visit to San Jose. The unit was lovely and well equipped with everything we needed. Floras was a wonderful host and provided clear instructions and assistance as needed. We would definitely stay there again.

Truly one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed at. Simply gorgeous and so spacious. Also, the host’s friend was nice enough to go through the trunk of my car to help me unlock it when I lost my keys. Best place I have ever stayed at with Airbnb.

We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—private and quiet, yet close to all major transit lines. It made it super convenient to drive in, park, and head downtown without hassle. The space is tucked behind the main house with its own entrance, which gave us the privacy we were looking for after busy days in the city. Everything was clean and well-kept. We didn’t use the kitchen, so can’t speak to that, but everything else was great. Keith was a fantastic host—very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a very peaceful, quiet stay at Andrew's place which is exactly what we were looking for. Our 2 cats also had a lovely time.
