Waterfront with HUGE Backyard
This is my second time staying at Corria's place. It is just wonderful. The place is beautifu, spotlessl, nice and cozy but the best part is the view of the ocean in the backyard. The disposition of the 2 bedrooms across from each other and not next each another is so strategic you can't help but love it. I highly recommend that place.

Designer Cozy Retreat: New & Premium
The home is freshly renovated, clean and modern. One parking spot available on the driveway. Street parking also available but a bit crowded. Basic necessities were generally well stocked. Hosts were communicative.

Perfect home with pool for family vacations!
We had a great stay. The home was very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. Good pillows and towels. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the park down the road. Thanks so much.

Long stay deal/ Google/ BBQ/ BIG yard/2 free park
This was a great little spot near San Jose / San Francisco. Very private and quiet. The house was nice and clean and had many amenities that most hosts don't provide. Belle was a joy to rent from. I never had to worry about anything in the house and we had great communication throughout. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and cozy place near San Francisco.

Pleasanton Haven
Lovely property. Peaceful and clean. The home is located on the edge of a housing development where it is quiet. The house provided easy access to the area we wished to explore. The host was friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home and would rent the property again if we return to this area soon.

Romantic Resort style lakeside house/ hot tub/fire
Wendy was a fantastic host and her home is absolutely beautiful. The location is perfect as a peaceful and safe retreat and equally, is so close to all amenities. Can’t wait to revisit!

Oakland CA, Grand Lake, Lake Merritt, GrandTheater
It was just what I needed for my getaway -- a clean, bright space with a solid kitchen, a great bed, and easy street parking. I loved being able to go for walks in any direction, and I stumbled upon a rose garden I hadn't known about.

Waterfront 4bd/3ba Home - Close to SF/wine/racing!
We were in the area for a wedding and wanted a place that our family (8 of us) could be together and hang out but also with areas to rest if needed. This home provided that and more! Plenty of options for us all to gather inside and out. So many TVs and a nice assortment of games also. We all enjoyed sitting outside to chat and enjoy the peacefulness of the water and surrounding area. The kitchen was wonderful, easy to prepare meals and we enjoyed the surprise in the fridge. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - loved the fans in every room. Plenty of sparkling clean bathrooms that we could all get ready without any issues. Would highly recommend this home if traveling to the area. Easy access to the highway and shopping center.

Come stay by the lake, Crocker Highlands rental
We stayed at Michele’s for about 3 months for our travel nurse assignment. The place has everything you could need, at an amazing price considering the area. The sofa bed is so comfy, and easy to convert. Michele is always quick to respond. She would also give us eggs from her backyard chickens every now and then! She definitely took care of us. On Thanksgiving, she even brought us some sweet potato pie. We appreciated it so much since we were away from our families. Michele would drop off our mail for us every time we had something delivered. She really would go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a great deal! Thanks for everything, Michele!

Peaceful 2 bd Sanctuary by Lake Merritt w Parking!
Belinda's place was worthy of all of the 5 stars I just submitted. We were entirely pleased with all aspects of her home and our stay. If it matters to future travelers, there are 45 steps from the sidewalk to the front door. We managed these steps, but there is no getting around them.

Beautiful Lake Merritt Too.
Great place in a beautiful neighborhood. Just what we wanted. Among other things, the kitchen was great and well-supplied, including coffee, fruit, bottled water, and a bottle of wine! We felt very welcome and will certainly try to rent it again when we're back in Oakland.

This is a nice apartment that is well-located in Oakland. Ally is a great host

Small studio apartment in quiet neighborhood.
I've stayed at LaurieAnn's several times and this continues to be my first choice whenever I'm in the Bay Area. LaurieAnn was very responsive to all my needs, as always. Perfect for a mobile single senior traveler. Highly recommended.

Romantic - close to beach, shopping & restaurants!
Kyle is an amazing host. Friendly, reasonable and super prompt. It felt like he was right there with us. We definitely felt like this was a great place for us. Kyle was truly invested in us having a good experience and it showed in all our messages. The place has everything for a short and long term stay and is close to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. Great spot overall!

Bright Mid-Century studio near Lake Merritt
Absolutely gorgeous space! Felt like a 5 star hotel tucked away in this airbnb. The location is in a lovely residential part of the lake that is quieter and still walking distance to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and central heart of Lake Merritt. The cleanliness of this place is top tier and loved the sweet note, gifted snacks/water, and all the personal “you may need” amenities provided in the bathroom too. Alisa is so helpful, kind, & clear with communication. So grateful to have stayed in your jewel of a sunshine home. The design is a mix of modern, retro vibes & everyone about this space is top tier. Thank you so much Alisa :)

Bright and Spacious 2 Bedroom Apt. Family Friendly
Perfect place for a visit for a wedding. Lots of walkable access to stores and restaurants and lake Merritt. Hosts are very responsive and helpful.
