Top Floor Luxury Beachfront Apartment
We certainly enjoyed Daryl’s hospitality and beautiful home. We were pleasantly surprised with bakery items and flowers upon arrival. The apartment is close proximity to restaurants, stores, transportation and easy access to Golden Gate Park, museums, and Japanese Tea Garden. Great walking trail along the ocean and safe neighborhood streets. We definitely will return to this delightful home in San Francisco!

Luxury Beach View Apartment
This air bnb had such an incredible view. Such a comfortable bed, and I haven’t felt like I wanted to sleep in for so long in a while! Coffee and tea ready to go and an amazing way to start my day. The host was so sweet, took time to talk with me and make me feel safe. Also a super cute and friendly dog :) I would live there if I could! Highly recommend - worth every dime

Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
Helena’s place was the perfect apartment for exploring SF. Close to the marina and all the restaurants and activities nearby. Was one of the cleanest and well presented airbnb I have stayed in. Highly recommend

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
Nick's place delivers a truly special oceanfront experience in a quiet neighborhood with a space that is immaculately clean. I will fondly remember the peaceful sounds of the waves and the beautiful sights in Ocean Beach for a while. Bravo!

Convenient bright modern SF pad!
The apartment is beautiful, with great windows in the living room! Nothing was out of place, and everything was as expected. I had a great time and walked around the neighborhood to check out some of the restaurant recommendations. The place is right near Giants stadium, and I was seeing a concert there, so it was very convenient. There is some city traffic noise. I brought earplugs with me for sleeping but didn't end up using them because the white noise of the fan helped me fall asleep.

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!

San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
Enjoyed our family getaway of 5 days. The home accommodated all our needs and the gourmet kitchen was welcomed by all especially our sons (one who is a professional chef visiting from New York). A car is needed to go to restaurants/shopping as it is located on a hillside (which offers breathtaking views of the ocean). The home was well stocked and very clean. Recommend this home for a restful getaway.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
What a treasure to find. Perfect place to go after work and just relax. Ocean is directly across the street. Loved hearing the waves. Absolutely would recommend and will definitely be back.

Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area
We stay in Alameda about once a year to visit my brother. Gabrielle's place was super convenient to where lives, and far more comfortable than comparable places we've stayed in the past. The view of the lagoon was a bonus! The bathroom and kitchen were both quite functional, and the bed was firm and comfortable. The living room with the gas fireplace was a nice place to hang out and read; I enjoyed flipping through the books on Alameda history and architecture. Although this unit permits dogs, it didn't smell doggy or have signs of prior dog guests. We were worried that the hospital next door would mean noise ... but it was super quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Alameda and wanting to be near Park St!

Magical Beachfront SF Bay Retreat 3BR 1.5B
I have nothing negative to say about our week at Vivien’s in Point Richmond except that we would have appreciated more sunny days. We were caught in the Atmospheric River with strong enough rain, wind and fog to keep us inside wondering if there really was a panoramic view of three bridges and distant SanFrancisco. Fortunately, we had a few clear, sunny days when we enjoyed sunning on the deck & walking on the pebbly beach. The place is aesthetically pleasing with several tansu and Asian flavor accents. There are two regular Q beds & two couches which make less comfortable beds. The bed that looks out to the Bay is in a semi separate part of the living room with no closet or place for suitcase or clothes. There are two separate conventional bedrooms with closets but no views. The extra WC made sharing the one big bathroom easy. We appreciated the beautiful garden we walked through to reach our front door and though it was cold, the banana & bamboo made it feel tropical.

Cozy room in a Charming City
Had an amazing stay at Deborah’s. She was extremely kind and even offered us a ride to an event. She was very flexible in terms of all my changes and requests. Couldn’t have asked for a better host! Location is incredible and the value is second to none.

What a true San Francisco experience - to stay on the Greenwich step! It was wonderful to wake up with a view of the bay. We would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay so much!! The beds were so comfortable and the place spotless. Surroundings were beautiful and the view to die for. Erosion on walking path was sad but the view made up for it. Would stay again!!
