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.

Steps to Beach, Comforts of Home
Lisa and Andy were great hosts. The house was comfortable and walking distance to the beach. Everything was as listed and hosts were responsive. Lots of great areas to hike nearby and awesome restaurants like “the Hideout”. Definitely recommend.

Sparkling Clean Private Luxury Suite Near SF/SFO
George was the best! We really enjoyed our stay. He was attentive and the house was private and very clean

Modern Suite in Cupertino
Great place - clean, spacious, and nicely located, with clear instructions. Zero significant issues. Plus there are snacks and water bottles!

Seascape Escape! Now Featuring Private Pool/Spa
Himani was super sweet! She made sure she was available when we arrived to give us the keys then gave us a run down of the place. My husband and I stayed with our friend and her fiancé so it was perfect as there were 2 private bedrooms, each with a private entrance outside. Each couple had our own half restroom and shared a shower, so if you don’t mind that, this place is perfect! Super close to Capitola and seascape resort where we attended a wedding.

5 Acres Mountain Retreat - 2 BR / 1.5BA
We had a great stay at Greg’s place, very responsive and communicative and we really loved the peaceful surroundings

Cottage - bedroom, living, bath and small kitchen
The place was comfortable and great for an extended stay! Tidy, cozy, and great location! Very clear instructions for the home and check in. Any time i had questions, they were very quick and responsive! I would definitely stay here again!

Quiet and Comfortable Studio
11/10, I have stayed in a lot of similar Air BnB’s throughout South Bay and this was the best! Extremely quiet and secluded. Interior feels like home, very cozy and has all the amenities you can think of and more, fully stocked. Also sits in the back of the property next to a beautiful backyard pool with a water fall, makes for a relaxing stay. Area is close to Cupertino/San Jose, plus a lot of great local restaurants. In terms of nature there are quite a few really nice trails and parks within 10minutes. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Quiet & peaceful - private restroom/private entry.
Everything exceeded requirements. I could not have been better treated from a hotel. The room is completely private from the house. The bathroom and fixtures appear newly renovated. Plus a small refrigerator/freezer and beautifully set up tea, coffee and snack display. The satin bed cover added elegance. I never saw my hosts, nor needed to. but they contacted me daily to ask if I needed anything or tell me about local places to visit. I could not have been more pleased.

Cozy retreat near woods and sea
Gabriel is a super friendly and responsive host. His home is nestled amongst the trees, and you really get to enjoy it with so many windows and sliding doors that open out to all the nature. The main room was perfect for our family and friends to hang out in. Short walk to Cat and Cloud for morning coffee, New Leaf for groceries, and Penny’s for some ice cream. For mobility, there are quite a few level changes and gravel paths to navigate, just fyi.

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!!!

Brand New Kawaii Downtown Studio w/ Secure Parking
My stay was comfortable and easy! It’s a tiny space but just enough for one or two people, there’s a kitchen and a cute outdoor space- overall a great place to stay not too far from downtown San Jose!

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.

Studio El Oceano-New Monterey Bay Relaxing Studio
Small but very clean and quiet. Unlike many rentals, the flat screen TV worked perfectly and was set up to be enjoyed comfortably. We just needed a place to sleep at night and this place met our needs with zero issues.

Cozy private in-law suite, close to SFO, fast WiFi
Exactly as advertised - cozy, quiet, private space in the Belmont hills. Comfortable bed and lots of hot water in the shower! I was a solo traveler and felt safe.

Private Entry Westside Beach Suite W/ Hot Tub
Great spot and excellent hosts! Seeing Charlie the Golden next door was a lovely touch. His head toss and backward look with that smile warmed the heart. Thank you for the hospitality. Hot tub was great too. Spotless place.

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!

Spacious Business Suite with Serene Backyard View
I had a great stay at Irene’s place. She was genuinely interested in what I do and gave me some great local recommendations. After I left, I accidentally forgot a few of my things—and she was kind enough to send them to my next stop in LA. I’m truly grateful for that. Thank you so much, Irene!

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.

Brand New! Guest House - Modern Stylish & Central
I've stayed at 50+ Airbnb and this spot is one of my absolute favorites when traveling solo. Very comfortable bed firm/supportive with a soft top. Very quiet, immaculately clean. ample and quality amenities and appliances. The overall feeling elegant and luxurious. I would recommend to anyone and plan to stay anytime I'm in the area.

Ryan made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The room itself is beautiful and the backyard is the perfect place to lounge out and relax. Anytime we needed something, Ryan responded promptly and accommodated all our needs.

The Ocean View on Monterey Bay, Hot Tub! King Bed!
Awesome for kids! Our daughter couldn’t get enough of the bathroom and had so much fun! It’s conveniently located. Walk to the beach and near lots of good restaurants. Would absolutely stay again!

Cozy,Quiet”Home Away from Home”.attached cottage
This place is great. Nice patio area with chairs. Bathroom is spacious with his and hers sinks. Bed is super comfortable, memory foam. Host is super friendly and helpful with whatever you need.

Next to Santana Row + Valley Fair | 6min drive SJC
Thao's place was great -- we were looking for a last minute Airbnb as we came into Aan Jose early and Thao was more than accomodating and very welcoming. The house is easy to find and there is a parking space on the driveway - only 10 minutes from downtown San Jose. Very quiet, even with having a neighbor, and a very safe neighborhood. We will definitely check out Thao's place again the next time we stay in San Jose!
