Air Condition Cozy garden house.
Imelda was a lovely host. I felt very welcome & when I needed something she (and her husband) were very helpful. The space is private and quiet yet just a quick (and peaceful) walk to downtown Campbell. Really enjoyed my stay.

1 Bdr Cabana just west of Stanford
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.

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis
My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

1BR beautiful, cozy guest cottage in Willow Glen
Everything about my guests’ stay was great. No complaints, only gratitude for a nice, clean, safe guest house where they could walk to groceries, coffee, restaurants in the neighborhood. Quiet and pleasant location. Stuart offered careful instructions and tips - everything we needed to know. Thank you, Stuart!

Tree-top studio--walk to Stanford
The apartment is ideally located for visiting Stanford and is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees and flowers, and lots of birds. The host is very friendly and responsive

Private studio in downtown
We really loved staying in Eugene and Clare's studio. The location was perfect, and the studio itself was very clean and cozy with a lovely view of the garden. Eugene and Clare were excellent hosts, very friendly and responsive who obviously put a lot of thought into making the studio special. I hope to stay here again during future visits to MV!

Mid Century Modern Guesthouse
This is the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of staying at this unit and it never disappoints. It is comfortable, roomy, and just perfect for my short business trips. They communicate well and are available to help if needed. I hope to come back!

Modern 2Bed/1Bath suite in San Jose

It was very convenient. Overall, 5 stars experiences. I highly recommend to everyone who come to San Jose. I would definitely come back in the future! Thanks Ray!

This was one of the most beautiful airbnbs we’ve stayed in! The house is gorgeous and the property is so cool - our kids loved all of the animals. Laurel is so communicative and helpful. We truly had the best time!

We loved staying here for our little vacation away from everything! Irwin and Shannon were very helpful with any questions we had and loved the recommendations they gave us! The place felt like home and we especially loved our time in the outside patio! We will definitely be coming back and can’t wait to be there again for next time!

Jennifer was an AMAZING host! She communicated in a timely manner and was very nice. I really enjoyed sitting in the seating area right off the bedroom and living room. All of the appliances were new and cool to use. I would stay here again when I'm in the area. Thank you so much Jennifer!!!

Quaint Cottage Near Downtown Palo Alto
Charming cottage! Louis was a great host (didn’t get a chance to meet Jess!). The neighborhood is quiet and very peaceful! There’s a very nice private patio, great place to have your morning coffee and just relax

Newly Built | Modern 1BR/1BA Private Cottage
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.

Woodsy Silicon Valley Cottage
This is the ONLY home I will stay in when visiting my sister in Menlo Park. Beautiful setting, quiet, tastefully designed, responsive hosts 10/10!

Private cottage in the heart of Silicon Valley
Greg and Melinda were the perfect hosts. They were responsive, friendly and accommodating. We had a family of 4 with young children, staying long term during home renovations. The place had pretty much all the needed amenities, plus the fresh ground coffee, home baked cookies (Melinda's unique touch seemed to elevate a very simple recipe) and homegrown honey were delicious! The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, conveniently located close to major roads and lots of shopping and restaurants but without the noise that usually accompanies it.

Private, stylish, clean detached studio
Chrissy's Airbnb is a fantastic stay in downtown SJ. It's quiet, safe, very comfortable with an excellent kitchen. I felt right at home for 2 weeks, and being near the 280 it was a great base for easy travel to Santa Clara, Campbell and Los Gatos. Chrissy is a great host and very friendly and helpful. Would love to stay again.

Private Entry Studio with parking
Pretty standard spot and very comfortable! Favorite part was having access to all media options. Very quiet neighborhood as well and peaceful
