Top Floor Luxury Beachfront Apartment
Daryl and William were an excellent hosting team. Daryl proactively reached out to welcome us and William was an incredible property manager, starting our stay off with quite the welcome - fresh flowers and treats from Tartine! The condo was exactly as described and we savored coffee every morning, taking in the ocean front view. The fridge was stocked with water and seltzer. The amenities were all clean and high-end. We were sad to leave! Thank you for graciously hosting us in this lovely apartment.

Luxury Beach View Apartment
This was perfect for our stay. Being able to wake up to a view of the ocean with my cup of coffee was just what I needed to be totally relaxed on my vacation. The bnb was spacious and accommodating.

Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
An outstanding stay at Helena’s beautiful apartment. Great outdoor area. Excellent space and very tastefully decorated. Everything you need for a great stay.

Beautiful Lake Merritt
Foremost is what an outstanding host Brian is. He was consistently responsive and helpful, and always good-natured. Whenever we needed anything, Brian was very quick to provide it. The apartment was more than adequate for our needs--I especially liked the walk-in closet and the view of the plants on the back deck. The office space was good for getting work done, and the futon couch there could have served as another bed, though the space is open. There is a step up to the bathroom, which has a nice roomy shower, and everything very clean. Also a step up to the kitchen, which can handle one person at a time. Fridge, range, microwave--all clean and of recent vintage. The neighborhood was quiet, even with a handy laundromat and coffee shop just around the corner. We also liked how close we were to Lake Merritt--good walks. We would definitely stay here again, and hope that we'll have the opportunity.

Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Had a wonderful time. Loved being so close to the beach. Laundry was easy and accessible. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including strong WiFi, parking, and bathroom amenities. The location made it easy to get into San Francisco while still having a quiet place to return to. Also great views and near to hiking. What really stood out, though, was the host’s incredible responsiveness. We had a lock issue during our stay, and they went above and beyond—driving an hour and a half to personally bring us a key to the side door to ensure we felt safe. That level of dedication and care made all the difference, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a convenient and well-hosted experience!

Lakeside retreat filled with art
The rental worked well for our visit to Oakland. We liked the large bedroom (lots of space for suitcases, big closet, etc) that afforded privacy from the kitchen/living area. The kitchen was sufficiently supplied for cooking though we only used it for breakfast & takeout. It was also nice to have easy access to the Lake for walks. Marie responded quickly to inquiries & overall a great visit to Oakland.

Luxury Penthouse Retreat with Panoramic Bay Views
Ben Alexander was an amazing host! From the description of the home to the check-in process, everything just went so smooth no problems whatsoever. I’d recommend Ben as a host to anyone looking to vacation in the San Francisco area. The home was very clean and the views were just jaw dropping. I appreciate the communication and how understanding Ben Is. Seriously, Five Stars all around!! I’m looking forward to returning.

San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
We were a group of five ladies on a girls trip and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Julieta’s home is exactly as described and photographs are accurate. Lots of space for us to spread out. Beds were comfortable. Home was very clean and kitchen well stocked .Enjoyed the fantastic views sitting on the deck as well as from the living room and kitchen . The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed the amenities right at the bottom of the hill, including coffee shops, and restaurants and is walkable for those that are in good shape.

Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
This was our first experience using Airbnb and we are so glad we tried it out. Yan’s place exceeded our expectations and she was such a lovely host. Her place is quiet, located close to the beach and shops, and was very comfortable for a family of 3. We will definitely look at using her place again when we are in town. Thank you, Yan, and thank you Airbnb!

Modern Floating Home | Scenic Sausalito 2BD/1BA
Awesome little spot! First time on a houseboat with two young children, and it was great. The beds were cozy and spacious enough. The different levels and roof space were fun. The wifi and audio system were solid, and the fridge had a variety of beverages. The shower was compact and surprisingly pleasant. The heating unit was effective and quiet. No issues. Good stuff.

Luxury Penthouse ~ Best View of San Francisco
Stayed here for a date night and it was a pretty amazing. The view is incredible. Definitely an experience, and my date loved it. The condo is very clean and the beds are comfortable and soft. Host is very responsive and was available to us throughout the stay. The only con was the parking. I mean, it’s San Francisco…I get it, but get clarity on the instructions and be careful if you need to double park temporarily, there were cops everywhere when we arrived. All and all it was a wonderful stay!

Historic cottage on Greenwich steps with Bay Views
Logan's place was a fantastic place to stay. I was travelling solo for 2 weeks for work and was initially worried about safety and accessibility (especially given the 100 steps to reach the apartment). But I needn't have worried. The area felt super safe and friendly and the steps were very manageable, even if a bit of a workout. I was rewarded with a great view of the bay from my windows and from the small deck out the front. The apartment was clean, well equipped and had everything I needed for my stay. It was also in a fantastic area. 100 steps down was the Embarcadero and waterfront area with an easy walk to Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building, and 100 steps up and it was an easy walk down to North Beach for great food, wine and coffee. Logan was super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic San Francisco experience.

Cliffside Pacifica Hideaway: Unbeatable View!
Place was amazing loved waking up to those views

Lux Water View with Balcony Minutes -San Francisco
Very bright and open space . Very good for walking . Walk 3 minutes along bay to views of city of San Fransisco, a pretty marina and a little further to views of the beautiful small mountains. Kathleen communication was fabulous .
