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!

Modern Urban Retreat
Another great stay at Kay Marie and Gerald’s place! We returned for a second stay due to the beautiful space and perfect location. We love the walkability to everything you could need — grocery, coffee, restaurants, movie theater, clothing stores, nail salons, laundromats, literally everything! You can also head out the door and take a peaceful neighborhood walk, admiring all the local flora. Choose your adventure: flat roads, small hills, or very hilly. Kay Marie and Gerald are friendly, responsive, communicative hosts. We’ll surely be back again.

Pet Friendly San Anselmo property in the hills
Very quiet and friendly place, nice stay! Will come again~

Valley Escape hot tub, & NEW porch off bedroom
This was a relaxing, peaceful trip thanks largely to Lisa and her space. I loved waking up to the bird sounds, being able to walk out of the bedroom and see beautiful nature. Lisa gave a great range of recommendations for local spots to see. The Airbnb was equipped with everything you might need. It truly was a cozy place. The icing on the cake was hanging out with Skooter, the resident cat. Thank you Lisa for a wonderful stay.

Rose Cottage Private room/bath with own entrance
Tina’s home was beautiful, clean, and conveniently located. She was very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend staying here! Thank you!

Cozy suite in a great location
This is a great place to stay in Berkeley! It is close to downtown Berkeley (with great food) and the University. It is also a near a BART station (which I used to get to Oracle Park! ) Shannon was also super accommodating and understanding of my situations and for that I truly appreciate it! Tysm! Highly recommended for OOMPH students at UC Berkeley, super convenient and near the building where your classes take place. Favorite food place so far: Cholita Linda Will come back here again! Thanks!

Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Urban oasis! Deck, city views, entire place
Sweet and clean house, my girlfriend and I had a very cozy stay here, the backyard is feeling mellow, it was so nice to sit there and watch the sunset. By the way, there are books and music records (mostly jazz) about San Francisco. All in all, lovely place, would recommend!

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!

Modern, Bright Suite with Noe Valley Terrace Views
We had a great experience staying here. The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. Communication with Susan was smooth and easy and she was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Location was perfect and parking on the street was easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free stay.

(1) Studio with outdoor spa in paradise.
Robert and Elizabeth's space in Nicasio is beautiful and was perfect for the short getaway we were looking for. They were extremely responsive to my questions and gave very clear instructions on how to find their home. Also, the bed was super comfortable.

New convenient comfortable studio
We loved staying at Laura’s place! It was very cute and cozy - the perfect space for the two of us. She supplied all the essentials and more. The backyard was absolutely beautiful, especially when lit up at night. The home was located in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. Highly recommend this place to stay!

Enchanting KING Wooded Sanctuary ‘Fawns Creek’
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our stay was! The space was perfect and had everything we needed to feel right at home. It is very obvious that Jen & Michael take great pride in making their guests feel comfortable and welcome. Not only that, but the location was great! We were close to wineries and restaurants and felt safe. Our favorite part of the entire stay was the beautiful appointed outdoor deck and fire pit. Every morning we enjoyed our coffee by the fire and got to see the different wild life that frequents Fawn’s Creek. This is the only place I’d even think of booking should my husband and I come back to Sonoma. Jen was so easy to communicate with and provided great local recommendations for us. We didn’t want for anything. The linens and towels were all superior and comfortable and we felt like we had plenty of space. Thanks for making my bucket list trip a dream come true!

Private Oasis Near the Water & Wine Country
This place was everything it promised. So relaxing and close to town. We didn't want to leave. Lori was an excellent and responsive host. Can't wait to come again when we visit our family in Benecia!

Guesthouse surrounded by flowers+HOT TUB near BART
Great stay for 8 days at this little garden retreat. Angel was a great on site host and accommodated any of my asks very quickly. The studio was perfect for me as a solo traveler and the gardens were a lovely respite to all the hubbub of my week in the bay. Loved chatting with the chickens in the morning and even got a couple eggs. Perfect for a laid back traveler who wants a little oasis close to Bart. Will definitely stay again and telling all my friends about it! Thank you!

Sunny Romantic Mill Valley Nature Cottage
Amazing view and beautiful garden. Very peaceful and quiet. Being in the house was so relaxing although Mill Valley is one of those towns that feel like out of a movie set. Debra was so kind and helpful. The only thing is I would make sure your car tires and breaks are in good condition. It's a steep road up the hill before the house.

Serene and comfortable 1 bedroom apt
Joelle’s place was just as pictured. Clean, cozy, and had a spectacular view. Would definitely stay there again.

Safe area. Metro 12 mins to d'town. Park/EV charge
It was the perfect spot for my first solo trip

Sunset View - Sonoma Mountain Terrace
If you want privacy, peace and quiet, this Airb&b is for you!!!! Located near the top of a mountain, where there is no traffic and very few people. The accommodations were excellent and the room was the size of a small apartment, modern and comfortable. Being an extremely light sleeper, this was heaven for me to finally get four restful nights of sleep. Definitely something hotel/motels DO NOT provide. The large windows overlooking the valley below were breathtaking. Extra bonus was the deer grazing out front. Needless to say, we did not want to leave.

Mountain View Retreat
Vicki’s place was beautiful, relaxing, private, and comfortable. When you book here you’re booking a private spa with amazing views, it was exactly what we needed for our stay. We highly recommend this location!

Kensington Studio In-Law
It was a great spot for a one-week visit to the area. It's a quiet neighborhood with views of the Bay and beyond. Blake Garden is just a three-minute walk away, and it was beautiful in May. We spotted local wildlife in the area (mostly when driving home at night): deer, raccoons, and a downhill neighbor seems to have a skunk family living in their driveway. The unit itself is perfect for a couple, and the sofa bed was comfortable for a kid of any size. The shared laundry room was available and convenient. We agree with others who have noted that the in-wall space heater was a little loud. This would not normally be a problem for us, as the droning fan creates white noise -- except at certain temperatures, the thermostat would occasionally cause it to repeatedly turn on and off. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if in the area again.
