Comfy Santa Rosa B&B in the Trees
We only stayed one night as we were passing through Santa Rosa, but Geoffrey's place was just what we needed. Easy self check-in with clear instructions and parking right outside. The apartment was clean and comfy and we enjoyed the jigsaw puzzles. Would recommend.

Farm in the city & sweeping bayview
I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Mod Podge Lodge
As charming as the photos and descriptions on the site indicated. Would loved to have spent even more time on the sunny, fragrant patio and enjoying the garden seating. The setting was a more than fair trade for being five minutes from town. Donna was a great about reaching out, in a kind and thoughtful way. Will definitely book the Lodge on my return visits to the area.

82 “ Pool, Jacuzzi , HOT SAUNA, VIEWS, Newer ADU!
This was a beautiful place to enjoy both nature and the proximity to all sorts of places to explore. It is very convenient to local freeways. The views are spectacular and the deck is a great space to relax, read, and play guitar. Great hosts and space!

Stand-alone cottage in garden setting, parking.
My stay was wonderful. The lodging was impeccably clean, with a spotless bedroom and lavatory. The amenities were great, and the fridge was a nice touch. The exterior featured a lovely garden with fantastic views of the Bay Area. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

Modern Sonoma Haven with Backyard Paradise & Pool
We had an excellent stay. The entire property is gorgeous and very peaceful. It was perfect for my wife and me. The location is minutes by car to downtown Sonoma and very accessible to the other towns in the area. Eliza and Kevin were fabulous hosts - very organized, very responsive and answered every question we had in a super timely manner. I honestly can’t say enough good things about our stay. If you are looking for a wonderful property that is quiet, just outside of town that will give you a real feel for the area, then this is it! Thanks again and we hope to be back. John

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!

Tropical Garden Cottage +HOT TUB &POOL by Downtown
We enjoyed a relaxing and very comfortable week at Polina’s. She made us feel welcome and at home. She even trimmed tree branches overhanging her driveway so we could easily park our van without scraping the top! The unit feels tropical, looking out on palm trees, the pool, and a banana tree. It was quite comfy for the two of us.
Guest house rentals with a patio

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.

Sausalito Garden Stay
David is an AMAZING host. He took care of us form the get go and made sure we were right at home. We had some issues shortly after check in but David personally came down to make sure all was well. Such a great host, will definitely stay again. Also Such an amazing location and property. Ruby in the heart of sausilto with amazing roof top views. Very quiet and safe area as well, and 7/11 right down the street.

Sunny, Peaceful Private Sanctuary
I just returned from a short stay in Fairfax and Barry's place was very sweet and cozy. As a long-term resident of Fairfax, it was a great setup overall, with walking distance to town, a warm welcome, everything pristinely clean. I didn't spend time there besides sleeping, so I had everything I needed. There is a beautiful outdoor patio that is great for sunny weather. Guests should know that they need to climb up and down a ladder to the sleeping nook, which is cozy but small. It worked for me fine, but important to note. I would definitely stay again.

Silicon Valley Oasis
We felt right at home in this cozy Air bnb. The garden areas surrounding the property are beautiful. We had everything we needed and more in the kitchen where we made breakfast every morning. Lots of cookware and cabinet full of spices. Super clean. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to downtown San Carlos was about 23 minutes. The host checked in regularly with us online and we appreciated the attention. Was sad to leave when our time was up. We hope to return as we have family in the area.

Mill Valley Garden View Guest House, Free Parking
Caroline is kind, helpful and responsive. She made great recommendations. Her property is beautiful, clean and peaceful. It was perfect for what I needed, and we will be returning in the near future. She also went above and beyond after I accidentally left one of my belongings.

Comfy Studio Near Trails and Beaches
By far the cleanest and coziest bnb I’ve stayed in. Chris was very responsive during my stay and everything was labeled and easy to access. The property is a very short drive from town but still private. There were even fresh cut flowers in the room when we arrived! Would love to stay again if I come back through.

The Bathhouse: Boho Modern + Hot Tub + Water View
Suzanne's space will unlock worlds within you that you couldn't dream possible anywhere else!! It is a true safe haven and a miracle of care. I simply cannot wait to share this with all of my networks and each of my loved ones, and will hopefully be back often and much myself, too !

Lightworks Treehouse Retreat
We had such a great time at the treehouse! The view is amazing and it had everything we needed. The drinking water was so such a nice touch and we loved having a lot of streaming options! You will find a few spiders to squash, but it's expected in the location. Great getaway if you are looking to hike or bike.

Adorable and spacious 2 bedroom guest house.
First let me start by saying the pictures posted are exactly as the place! It’s street parking but felt safe as a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking. Kananu was very respectful & responsive within minutes if not seconds! Kananu’s place has everything you need to feel right at home. The host gave nice recommendations for what’s in the area for dining, fun activities for all ages & shopping. We had a small issue with the water heater making nose and she was able to get the issue resolved quickly without interfering with our stay. I would definitely recommend Kananu’s place to anyone traveling to the area and definitely will be back for another stay! Her place definitely makes you feel like you’re in your own home.

Private Cottage near Redwood City and San Carlos Downtowns
Great experience in every way. Nico was response and friendly. Place was just as described. Would definitely stay again

Stylish Private Flat in Historic Neighborhood
This lovely, cozy apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and convenient to downtown. We love staying here when we visit Petaluma. Carole is an excellent host.

Studio at Surfers Outlook
Views of the ocean were amazing at every hour of the day. Sound of the ocean was perfect decimals to sleep with the window open. We love to cook together and had everything needed plus spices and condiments in the fridge. Wonderful 5-days to relax and enjoy the outdoors and staying in. Carey answered every question within minutes of reaching out. Hope to return!

Luxury 4BR House at Westlake near BART, Beach Golf
Was a good option for our group of 7 to stay. The hosts were prompt in helping out.

Mission Casita, Walking Distance to DT San Rafael
A great stay. Matthew, Tim & Co. were very responsive, and check-in and out was easy with the August app. A very comfortable place, spotlessly clean, and conveniently located for our needs. Would absolutely stay here again!

Convenient 3 bedroom guest house near SFO, highway
Decent size rooms. And great that each one comes with its own bathroom and shower.
