Sparkling Clean Private Sunny Beach-Hike-Golf-Bike

JianRating, 5 stars6 days ago
I stayed here for a night on Saturday and had a really lovely experience. The host, Helaine, was warm and welcoming, and the place itself was super clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The backyard was a beautiful bonus—peaceful and nicely kept, a great spot to relax. I’d definitely come back if I’m in Monterey again.

Simplistic Crocker Suite

ReedRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Five stars all around. This was my wife and I's second time staying at Mai's place (the first time being one year ago on our honeymoon!). We love SF, and Mai's place is the perfect respite from the city while remaining relatively close to most areas of interest. Mai is so kind and accommodating, and her place surely does feel like home! We look forward to staying here again and again in the future.

RickRating, 5 stars5 days ago
David’s place was well appointed, clean and thoughtfully furnished and organized. There were power strips with electrical outlets and USB ports wherever they might be needed — a nice touch. Coffee was plentiful and the kitchen well supplied. David and Goldie went out of their way to make us feel at home. We will definitely return.

Guest House in the Woods

MaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

La Casita - a quiet studio, Crocker Amazon area!

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Wir haben 5 Tage in SF verbracht und waren begeistert von Lindas Tiny Haus. Das Auto stand sicher in der Einfahrt und es gab 3 Buslinien in der Nähe, um zu allen wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu kommen. Das MUNI Tagesticket kostet ab 1.7.2025 5,70$. Das ist supergünstig, die Fahrt dauert ca. eine Stunde. Ein Laden für die wichtigsten Lebensmittel gibt es in Laufweite. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, so dass wir dort frühstücken konnten und auch einfache Gerichte gekocht haben. Das Essen am Tisch neben dem Bett ist eng, aber ok. Alles war super sauber und funktional eingerichtet. Sogar Klima und Heizung. Das Duschen in dem kleinen Bad ging auch sehr gut. Leider war es zu kalt, um den Sitzplatz draußen zu benutzen. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig. Vielen Dank für die Snacks, Linda :-)

Artsy & private 1 bedroom beach-side cottage

HaleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I cannot say enough nice things about Kim and her Queendom. The Airbnb grounds are like the Garden of Eden, nestled near the Moss Landing Harbor. From Harley the tortoise to overflowing succulents, the grounds were so peaceful and beautiful. The cottage included a cute outdoor space with a picnic table and hammock. The room, bathroom, and kitchen supplies were all neat and tidy with thoughtful touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable. However, most importantly, Kim was the hostess with the mostest and I absolutely recommend you eat at the Haute Enchilada. The food was divine. Cannot wait to return for all my Monterey Bay Adventures.

Cozy Private 1B1B Cottage near Japantown

KathleenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Boho beach bungalow- walk to Poplar Beach

MoeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our stay at this Airbnb was fantastic! The space is beautifully decorated, very clean, and thoughtfully equipped. One of the highlights was the bed, it even has a built-in massager, which was such a relaxing treat after a day of exploring. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook or just enjoy a cozy night in. If you’re planning a trip to Half Moon Bay, make sure to stop by Sam’s Chowder House, it’s an absolute must. The food there is unbelievable! The only small issue we ran into was with the shower. The water tends to splash out, even reaching into the bedroom area. It wasn’t a deal-breaker for us, but just something to be aware of. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back. Highly recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Dipti's place! She and her husband are both very friendly and were helpful with a request we had when checking in. The unit was very clean, comfortable, spacious for 2 people and enjoyable to be in. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Would definitely stay here again if available.

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.

Downtown Campbell Executive Cottage

JaneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I felt at home the minute I entered this handsome studio. The layout feels spacious and peaceful, with window and door looking out to a beautiful backyard shared with the hosts (who I never ran into). From the personalized welcome sign with my name on it, to small helpful notes around the unit, I felt welcomed and cared for. (Vs. last place that greeted me w/ list of rules to control my behavior). Very comfortable bed (w/ blanket wrapped in sheets like an upscale hotel--thank you!). Kitchen had everything needed for cooking a few meals. Loved the options for soft lighting in kitchen and bed reading lights. Loved being just a block away from downtown Campbell, with all its restaurants and shops. The whole neighborhood is peaceful and walkable--one of my favorites in the San Jose area. I look forward to staying here again someday!

Private unit close to Santa Clara University

ShoaibRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our first Airbnb experience and we were glad we chose this place for our first stay. Rahil was a very-very responsive and kind host. We had a tiny bit of trouble first entering the property due to the locking system. I messaged Rahil and he quickly responded and fixed the lock and we were good to go for the rest of our stay. The place was spotless and very clean when we first entered. It is like having your own mini house with all the amenities you need even for a long stay. Everything was professional, instructions were clear, bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The area is super nice and private. It is like a 5 minute drive to Santana Row, Valley Fair Mall, and multiple restaurants. I had no problem keeping my car parked in front of the property and never felt like it was going to be a problem. Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this Airbnb and you are in good hands with Rahil.
