Charming Cozy Cottage in Eco-Garden Oasis
This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

Stand-alone cottage in garden setting, parking.
A nice place with nice hosts! The garden is especially pretty in Spring

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis
The lodging is in the back, in a garden and near the swimming pool and tennis court. The backdrop is beautiful, and the host and hostess were friendly and accommodating. There is privacy and the area offers much in terms of restaurants and shopping. The internet is broadband, so one can work in the lodging. Amy and Lou are wonderful people----worthy of friendship in any circumstance.

Little Cottage on the Hill
I have stayed at Radhia's place several times and keep coming back! Always consistent and comfortable. Will definitely stay again when I'm in the Bay Area.

Cottage near dwntwn Palo Alto, Stanford, Face-book
This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

Backyard Beach House (BBH)
Barbara and her Backyard Beach House were wonderful. Best stocked Air B & B we've ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Especially convenient for us because we were visiting family a mile away. We'll definitely stay again. Thanks!

Modern 2Bed/1Bath suite in San Jose
Ray’s place is like a home away from home tor us and we appreciate especially his accommodating change that arose this trip - quiet house, convenient location, and everything we needed.

Charming cottage, walk to Caltrain
Kate’s place was great for our family of four while we visited San Francisco. The immediate area was clean and felt safe, and a variety of food and shops were within walkable distances. Access to the Caltrain was also close by. As for the house, it had everything our family needed but may be a bit tight for groups larger than 4, especially if they are all adults. Amenities were as listed and made the stay comfortable. Kate and Toni were responsive very quickly and helped us with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Orchard Cottage in convenient countryside location
Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

Newly built stylish guesthouse
The host had a beautiful place and was quick to answer any questions we had. Would recommend to anyone staying in the San Jose area.

Private garden retreat
Cozy apartment with immaculate and comfortable living space--perfect for a couple. Bonus is the beautifully landscaped enclosed backyard space with a courtyard in front of the apartment. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped and fully functional. Short walk to local restaurants and shopping. Mary Lee was a friendly, flexible and responsive host, who even before we booked went out of her way to clock the distance between the apartment and our son's home which was much appreciated. Great place, great host, great experience--highly recommend!.

Delightful Hideaway in San Carlos
Cute Airbnb in a pretty neighborhood, not too far from freeways if you're going for work. Street parking is easy. Lots of privacy. Unit is located above the garage so no need to worry about hearing the folks who live there or them hearing you. Loved the deck overlooking the garden. Enjoyed that every day after long days of meetings. Marilynn responded so quickly and was really helpful. The trees and flowers in the neighborhood were beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Garden Cottage w/ Hot Tub • 3 mi. to SJC
I stay here whenever I'm in town absolutely my fav. Host is amazing and love her house! Thanks, Taylor!!

Sausalito Garden Stay
This place was so beautiful, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Perfect location close enough to restaurants, and lil shops!! Just away enough out of the city, but not to far out. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy easy place to get to. Also my wife’s 50th birthday and I asked him to do something special for her birthday and he put out a birthday banner and a bottle of champagne!!

1-bedroom guesthouse w/ full kitchen near DTSJ/SAP
This place was spotless, and was a nice, private unit with a view of their beautiful garden. Instructions that were given were very detailed and easy to follow, and even had videos where applicable that were helpful. The area is quiet and peaceful, but still very convenient for getting around in San Jose.

Entire guesthouse Santa Clara smart lock entrance.
Katie’s place was perfect for a weekend trip for me and my girlfriend!

Evergreen Valley Hillside retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. Christina and her family were extremely kind and helpful, check-in was seamless and communication was easy. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others! Thank you for having us!

The Hen House Haven
We loved staying at Kyle & Rachel's studio. It was clean and bright with all the modern accommodations and more. Kyle and Rachel were very responsive and thoughtful hosts. The studio had everything you'd want and more! The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom and shower were really nice and spa-like. It's a great location, easy to access but yet quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend staying there!

My grandpa and grandma stayed here and they said this was the best bead and breakfast they have experienced in their life. huge thanks to Silvia for being responsive and making my grandparents feel at home!

Private Entry Adorable 1 bed 1 bath
Highly recommend. Central to the Bay Area and major freeways. Clean and quiet. Easy access and private parking. Everything was perfect. This is my second time staying and will be staying again! Thank you!!

Studio at Surfers Outlook
Amazing stay at this cozy cabin by the sea. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the sound of waves. The place is incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed — from kitchen supplies to dog blankets and groceries. Thank you!

2Bd/1Ba NEW Guest House in S San Jose (w/ Parking)
Our stay was excellent. The place was very clean and well-maintained. Communication with the host was quick, and they were always available for any questions or recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers and would stay here again in the future.

Tranquil and Charming 1-Bedroom Guest house w/bath
Very nice to find a affordable place to stay With my schnauzer Winston. He is a low impact dog (doesn't shed, well behaved), but most charge more regardless. The local area has lots of places open late, which turned out a boon for me as I work as a stage manager and get home after 10p. Many thanks Margret and David!

Convenient 3 bedroom guest house near SFO, highway
A group of us stayed here for a wedding and it was an amazing house. Highly recommended!
