SF & Bay views, deck w/hot tub, luxurious studio

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay at Jan’s place in Berkeley. The space was great for our trip. We absolutely loved the deck and hot-tub. We spent most evenings sitting out there for hours! You also can’t beat the views of the bay! Overall, such a wonderful stay, we would for sure go back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Modern Garden Apartment

CryslineRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just a few blocks from our favorite Cheeseboard Collective Pizzeria and within easy walking distance to UC Berkeley. We were in town for a wedding and needed a family-friendly place nearby, and this home checked every box and more. The space was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. The bathroom was especially impressive—clean, well-stocked with soft towels, and featuring a beautifully laid-out shower and hot tub that made winding down in the evenings a true treat. The kitchen was pristine and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy meals during our stay. Traveling with little ones can be challenging, but this home made it easy. There was even a pack 'n play ready for our infant, which was such a thoughtful touch. The layout of the home was comfortable, cozy, and made our time there feel like a true home-away-from-home. Highly, highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Berkeley

Modern Living Steps From Downtown

SunnyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
5 stars! A Perfect Stay in Walnut Creek! Our family truly enjoyed every moment of our stay at Alexander’s place. The home was not only spotless and comfortable, but also thoughtfully stocked with every amenity you could need—from extra trash bags to toothbrushes, floss picks, and cotton swabs. Everything was arranged in such a convenient, intuitive way that it felt less like a typical guest room and more like a home someone genuinely lives in with care. We appreciated the ease of free parking right in front of the garage, and Alexander’s warm communication throughout. He lives downstairs, so he was always available and checked in from time to time to make sure everything was going smoothly and answered all questions that we had for local places. Taking out the trash was super easy, and having a washer and dryer available was a big plus for a longer stay. This place was not just clean and cozy,it was smartly set up for real comfort. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

Close to SF & Muir Woods; Walk to Cafes & Shopping

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My older teen kids and I had a great stay while visiting my sister who lives in Mill Valley. There is a nice grocery store and Walgreens a walkable distance to pick up what you might need. Mill Valley is beautiful with plenty of restaurants and great hikes a short distance away and also a quick drive into San Francisco. Stacey was a very responsive host and provided lots of information about the area and helpful hints for those that are first time visitors. Having a washer and dryer was key, so we could pack lighter and bring those layers for the foggy and/or windy days.

St. Vincent's Hill Historic Green Queen

JoanRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We stay in the welcoming arms of Linda's "Green Queen" whenever we are in the Bay Area...or I should say, whenever it is available because it is so very popular; deservedly so since it is the best, most comfortable, most beautifully appointed vacation rental we have ever experienced over many years of travels and rentals. I have taken to checking her calendar and scheduling trips around those dates to ensure it's availability and our total comfort, pleasure, and convenience. We can't thank you enough, Linda, for creating such an amazing home away from home.

Carriage House at Main Street Farmhouse!

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic time and enjoyed our stay! Judy and Tom welcomed us and made sure we had what we needed and offered suggestions on places to go. The unit was very comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed and was so charming to be in. The location is very convenient to things to do in Napa and to get on route 29 to explore other parts of Napa Valley. It's an ideal spot and we look forward to another visit in the future!

Historic Garden View 1BD Apt with great reviews!

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at this charming historic home in Vallejo was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and full of thoughtful touches. It was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. We especially loved having a fully stocked kitchen. A lovely bottle of red wine was waiting for us when we arrived. There were also complimentary snacks like trail mix and popcorn—perfect for settling in after a day of travel or sightseeing. The apartment blends vintage character with modern comforts. The space itself is beautiful, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, a clawfoot tub for soaking, and plenty of natural light. The owners, SuArra and Christopher, live on the property and are very friendly and available if you need any help. Christopher even invited us to help ourselves to fresh herbs and vegetables from their garden, which we really appreciated. This was the perfect base for exploring wine country. We’d absolutely return!

Beautiful 1 bdrm Apt with Ocean Views and Hot Tub

LennonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I loved Albina's place. It was so perfect for what we were looking for. It was cute, easy to find, easy parking and just so lovely. The highlight was the view. The bedroom window looked out to the city and the ocean. We never even turned the TV on since the view from the bed was just spectacular. We literally just watched the ocean and boats going by as the sunset before our eyes. The moon then came out and we went to bed just staring out at the sky. I hope to be able to stay here again. It was such a magical retreat.

My husband and I stayed for about 10 days. Quiet neighborhood. Rick's place was clean and cozy. When I needed to contact Rick, he was available to answer my questions right away. He was responsive and pleasant. Accessing directly from the parking lot (covered, assined space) to the apartment was very easy and quick. I would stay here again.

Your Walnut Creek Luxury Oasis Awaits

EvanRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Great location and very comfortable space. The kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils to make cooking easy. There's a dedicated parking spot right in front of the unit, if you have a tall or long vehicle like a truck it might not fit in the spot and there are limited uncovered spaces to park. The AC is in the living room and doesn't get back to the bedroom very well which isn't a problem unless it's a really hot day. There was one day that was 90°F and the bedroom didn't cool off. The living room and couch are comfortable and a nice spot to unwind.

Grand 1868 Victorian, Family-Friendly w/ Hot Tub

DeviRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Shea’s place was beautiful and spacious for our family of 5. Check in was easy and Shea was very responsive to all my questions about the home and neighborhood. We took full advantage of the backyard with hot tub and ping pong when we needed a break from sightseeing. There was a fair amount of noise from neighbors and the street in the front of the house. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Luxe N Oakland Garden Hideaway with Hot Tub

MiloRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved everything about Eurydice's space. So elegant in its simplicity, and clearly prioritizing coziness and livability. She's thought of so many touches that made it all the more welcoming: extra throws and blankets, a fan and heater in the closet in case you need a temperature adjustment, a night light in the bathroom, super comfy seating and bed. All this set in a gorgeous garden that's very convenient to public transportation and very walkable to boot. On top of all that, Eurydice was a great host: very responsive, warm, and welcoming, even though I never ran into her while we were there. This place really felt like home away from home, and the most difficult part was getting myself to leave! :)

Beautiful Cottage, hot tub, in great neighborhood

EmilyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a gem of an airbnb! The space is beautifully put together, very clean and comfortable - I almost didn't want to leave it! The location can't be beat - just steps away from Castro and a short walk over to Dolores Park/mission. Cory was extremely pleasant to communicate with, super helpful and eager to be a resource, and very proactive in addressing a next door neighbor's construction mess. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to any future guests!
