Spacious Private Guest Unit
A great alternative to the local budget hotels. Streamlined and easy logistics. Irrtirn in a heartbeat.

Mission Private 1BR/BA Garden Suite Separate Entry
This is my second time staying here and it’s always great!! The place is amazing and Bradley is an amazing host! Will be returning soon one day!

Luxury 2 Room Private Bunglow - Executive Suite
It was absolutely wonderful - everything you could ever want. The host couldn’t have been nicer, more welcoming, or more helpful. A truly great experience - so much so that we extended our trip and now know exactly where we’ll want to stay when we’re back in the area.

Palo Alto-Stanford Sanctuary | 2BR
This is my favorite place to stay in the Palo Alto area - beautiful private location, well-stocked kitchen, and a comfortable living space - with laundry. Michel was great and we’ll definitely be back!

Jade Studio by Beach at Jasmine Garden Oasis
This home is absolutely gorgeous! The garden is beautiful and the room is very homey and quaint. The hot tub is also a very nice addition.

Apartment in downtown SJ
Loan’s spot was the perfect place for me to work remotely while visiting family in San Jose. The hosts were very welcoming and we felt right at home. The location is great and we would definitely stay here again on a future trip.

El Nido; a Peaceful, Relaxing, Restorative Retreat
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered—not just for comfort, but for an experience beyond luxury. El Nido is more than a place to rest; it is a sanctuary that welcomes weary travelers with warmth, thoughtfulness, and an embrace of nature’s beauty. The touches throughout the space elevated our stay in ways both subtle and profound—plush bedding that felt like a cloud after long days exploring, lighting that set the perfect mood and amenities that anticipated every need before we even knew we had them. It was effortless to settle in, knowing this wasn’t just a place to sleep, but a place to truly restore.

Stay Nestled in Ancient Redwoods in Silicon Valley
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Rick and Heather’s place at woodside. The place is quite spacious and quiet. It is just as described and there were no surprises . If you are looking for a peaceful mountain getaway that is within 30 min ride to Palo Alto, look no further. Things to keep in mind (these are clearly described in listing) are: 1. lack of a true kitchen despite having microwave, toaster oven and a hot plate. I do not recommend any cooking here however since there is no real place to wash dishes or drain etc. 2. The owners live there and although u get plenty of privacy you may run into to them occasionally. If this is not your thing, I recommend you find a different place.
Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Urban oasis! Deck, city views, entire place
This was definitely one of my favorite Airbnbs I have stayed at so far. Beautiful location, great communication with hosts, the space was unique and clean. You honestly transport to another world once you’ve arrived. Very beautiful villa atmosphere and nicely tucked away/private, would definitely stay again!

BridgesView Spa & Couples Retreat, Easy Parking
Really enjoyed this place. The hot tub was hot enough. It had a had a cute view that is very romantic. The best part about it is it had a chair outside that you can sit and enjoy the weather.

Cozy Coastal Redwood Cabin
We loved our stay at Tera’s! We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was wonderful. The cabin is homey and clean, and surrounded by a peaceful redwood forest. The family was super helpful with recommendations and they were overall great hosts! We are definitely planning to come back again.

Quiet, spacious, private suite with patio.
I recently stayed at an Airbnb in Inner Richmond, hosted by Malcolm, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. His keen interest in getting to know his guests through thoughtful questions made the experience feel personal and engaging. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and Malcolm's attentive nature really enhanced my visit!

Cozy, modern 1-bedroom with backyard ocean view!
I always stay at Airbnb's when I'm traveling... this one exceeded all of my expectations! Mike's place is paradise. The views are phenomenal and the little coastal town of Pacifica is welcoming and comfortable. They recommended lovely hikes and places to eat. (Devil's slide hike was spectacular and make sure you check out Soul Grind Cafe!) I can't wait to visit again next year!!!

Modern, Bright Suite with Noe Valley Terrace Views
Amazing place with all the necessary amenities. Great location as well. Susan's place was beautiful, would love to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful canyon view suite
Fantastic place. Nestled in beautiful, peaceful forest surroundings, it's a great spot to relax - yet still just a short drive away from Oakland city center, Berkeley, and San Francisco. Inside, the apartment is spacious, functional and well laid out. Great communication and organisation from the Host as well. Overall very highly recommended!

New! Oceanview Penthouse, Walking to Beach
Amazing place. The place is beautiful, nestled into the property, feeling tucked away from the street - and the world - and overlooking the ocean. Thank you.

Private Modern Coastal Retreat With Ocean Views
I cannot highly enough recommend this Airbnb - if I could give 6/5 stars for all categories I would. The hosts are incredibly thoughtful and welcoming, they checked in with me during my several week stay, but the place was very private. It’s extremely peaceful and beautiful and the Airbnb itself is stocked with everything you could need. Excellent use of space and just an incredible place to spend a few weeks. I very much hope to return soon.

Cozy Suite, Private Entrance + Bath (Pets Welcome)
Great place- thank you!

Elegant retreat in Redwood City
We were greeted by a friendly deer on Amber's big green lawn which we found out from Amber's husband, was one of a family of deer who visited often. Everything we needed was provided at Amber's place, including a full kitchen, a comfortable queen size bed and a double sofa bed with extra pillows and linens. The bathroom was a nice size which had a big walk in shower and all the amenities that were mentioned in the ad for this Air Bnb. It was about 20 - 30 minutes to get to the Supreme Court House in downtown Redwood City. It was also about thirty minutes away to visit some family living nearby in Belmont. It was a very beautiful and peaceful place to stay for a couple of nights.

Very Spacious Beautiful Guest Quarter!
We really enjoyed our stay at Svetlana and Anatoliy's place. If you’re traveling with a kid, it’s a very good option as it has all the things needed, is spacious, and is nicely located. We especially loved the location, well-equipped kitchen, nice bed, and the views. The Airbnb had a lot of charming details specially prepared for our stay, such as freshly cut flowers, baby shampoo, toys, and an artisan soup. All these little things made our stay special. And we enjoyed meeting our hosts in person! We’ll most definitely come back when the opportunity presents!

Contemporary Guest House
Absolutely incredible stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every detail was thought through—from cozy linens to fully stocked essentials. The location was perfect, close to everything but peaceful and quiet at night. Julie was outstanding: super responsive, kind, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Check-in was seamless, and we felt completely at home. Can’t recommend this spot enough—definitely one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve ever had!

Serene and comfortable 1 bedroom apt
Great place with a beautiful view! We enjoyed our stay and everything was just as advertised. Highly recommend!

New Modern Light filled Studio
Marina and Erik were friendly and great hosts. They were warm and responsive. We had a very pleasant stay at their place.....lots of treats for. breakfast, very clean, comfy bed, nice hot shower, nice pots to cook with, unscented natural cleaning products throughout the house. We were there for a wedding and we have a very nice restful stay at their home. We didn't have time to explore the neighborhood or walk around though so I can't comment about that but the location is nice because it's near, Capitola and Aptos along with all that Santa Cruz has to offer.

Remote Mountain Suite with Hot Tub
Hard to find a better priced place with this level of modernity and space. As others have mentioned it's a windy drive from highway 17, about 35 minutes from Santa Cruz, 20 minutes from Los Gatos (really cool town), and 30 minutes from San Jose. Of course, the semi-remote location is part of the appeal - redwood trees all around the yard, visible from inside the house, and all around beautiful steep terrain. The attached home is great - super comfortable couch in the living room, great bed in the bedroom, kitchenette and spacious bathroom.
