Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
This spacious home was absolutely beautiful for our stay! We especially appreciated the amenities that the home provided. Specifically, the pool and vast dining spaces were a perfect match for our large family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, central to the attractions we wanted to see including downtown San Fransisco and the Winchester house. The homeowner was great with communication throughout the booking and check in/out process. Overall, we had a lovely stay in this gorgeous home.

Large Home in Palo Alto w/Pool
Very professional, courteous and excellent communication. The location and the accommodation excellent. The hosts also allowed us to check in very late and send us lots of good information around the areas.

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Staying at this small house with pool was just what I needed. Enjoyed all aspects of my stay!

Mission style, w. Pool, Hot tub, walk to downtown
We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford
A lovely property to relax in and enjoy. Just what we needed after doing all the sightseeing in the first part of the holiday

The Hacienda- Santa Cruz Mountain Ridgetop Retreat
We live down in Santa Cruz and wanted to treat ourselves to a poolside weekend in the mountains (and this place did not disappoint!!). Would certainly stay again and appreciate how communicative the hosts were. As we get into summer we should have known better and brought our citronella candles because the mosquitos were out with a vengeance and forced us inside- so we recommend prepping for bugs if you want to stay poolside for sunset.

cozy house in palo alto
We found John’s place to be quiet with no traffic at all. We approached the washer & dryer. When asked, John quickly brought us an iron and ironing board. We felt fortunate to be there.

Casa Therese: Classic Beauty, Palo Alto California.
We spent 3 nights during the Memorial Day weekend The location was superb ; stones throw from all the restaurants at University Avenue , yet the neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful Beautifully done up home with a lovely backyard

Super Private Hidden Redwood City House and Garden
A hidden gem with warmth and character, close to everything and very private at the same time. The patio and gardens under the giant redwood is filled with fig trees, tropical ferns, orchids and banana trees. Beautiful tile and stone work decorates the paths , columns and interior spaces of this charming California Bungalow. The stuccoed interior has tall ceilings and massive beams. Big barbecue and well stocked and organized kitchen

Newly Remodeled Modern Home
My husband, sister, and I had a wonderful 5-day stay while in California for our daughter’s graduation. Our hosts, Sophie and Jennifer, were friendly, helpful, and responsive. The apartment was spotless and well set up, with a beautiful sunlit kitchen nook, a sizable well-equipped kitchen, and a desk for work. We had a great stay and hope to return soon!

Special Downtown Palo Alto House
Very comfortable and well maintained home in a great location. Hosts were accommodating and communicative.

It's a lovely and well-arranged space that perfectly meets our needs, despite its modest size. We particularly appreciate its location in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

New & Quiet 2BR/2BA | Stanford, Google, Meta Area
great place! two big bedrooms, super easy to get into, super easy to checkout! I would stay again next time I'm in mountain view :).

Peaceful Menlo Park House: Two bedrooms + Sunroom
My family and I were very happy with our stay at Jessica and Florian's home. They went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed. The house was spotless and we felt very much at home there. We will gladly stay there again on our next trip to Stanford.

Little Yosemite
Truthfully, I have nothing but positive feedback. Two couples travelling between hiking trips and a wedding. This was a great place to unwind and regroup, with plenty of lovely walkable cafes nearby to set us up for the subsequent leg of our trip. A tight squeeze for 6 looking for privacy, perhaps, but pretty darn good for two couples! Check in was easy and clear. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Serene & Charming Home in Atherton border
This place was awesome, we did know the area and it was perfect regarding location to friends and events we needed to be at. Yes we did research to find such a place, and this was it...given the location and area the fee was extremely favorable given the location of the home.

601-Lavish Home w/ AC & Patio near Meta & Stanford
What a great house, seamless check in, place was immaculate will definitely be staying here again when visiting the valley.

Near Stanford Gooogle Meta. Luxury 3BR3BA townhome
Perfect stay. We were a group of 6 and everything was just as described. Easy check in. Well stocked kitchen. Quiet location. Beds were comfortable. Would stay there again!!

warm quiet space
Qing was really helpful, friendly and so nice when she even offered to provide me with a meal because I was arriving late at night which I didn't need it but it was so nice to be offered! Also, the fact that she lives nearby, you know that everything would be taken care of safely and securely because she's available. I enjoyed staying there because it was cosy, homey, comfortable, due to the fact that it's clean and tidy (my main focus because cleanliness and hygiene are key factors!) and everything was available in the kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. Despite the washer/dryer not being indoors, but in their backyard, it wasn't a big deal as it was easily accessible. The location is very convenient easy access to various places. All in all, I highly recommend Qing's Airbnb place to stay if you're looking for accommodation in and around Silicon Valley! No wonder she's a SUPERHOST!!

Cozy Family House Near Stanford 3BR
Reasonably priced and well appointed. Would stay here again!

Brand-new luxurious guesthouse (King bed) in MPK
Weichuan & Meng are very kind, helpful and respond very quickly to any and all questions. The bed is very comfortable. The bed and bath linens are very nice and plentiful.

Casita Palo Alto - 2 Bed 2 Bath / Private Back Yar
Fantastic stay overall. The experience was smooth from start to finish. The house had everything provided above and beyond. We loved it and will definitely be back. Location was super and it was in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The home also had a lot of additional features and amenities that were not mentioned in the description which was an added bonus.
