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
Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoyed a relaxing stay with the magnificent and beautiful beach view.

Luxury Warm Cozy Home
My husband and I stayed for about 10 days. Quiet neighborhood. Rick's place was clean and cozy. When I needed to contact Rick, he was available to answer my questions right away. He was responsive and pleasant. Accessing directly from the parking lot (covered, assined space) to the apartment was very easy and quick. I would stay here again.

Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
This is a real gem of a find in SFO. Great hideaway in the middle of everything around Fisherman’s Warf Modern, clean, and very private.

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
Nicks place was lovely and he was a very responsive and friendly host. I look forward to returning.

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!

Luxury Penthouse Retreat with Panoramic Bay Views
We loved staying at Alexander’s place! The apartment was is in a prime location with the most beautiful views! It was easy to check in and looked just like the photos. The apartment was very clean and the bed slept very well. Overall 10/10 recommend!

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.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
parents first AirB&B, and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay. they felt safe and right at home. great communication, helpful tips with larger vehicles and the limited parking space available [comes with all living experience from what I saw everywhere]. answered all questions, gave recommendations for outings and was an all around great host. would stay here again if I go back.

Oceanfront Retreat🐬 with Oceanview🪂,15 mins to SF
The place was amazing and far exceeded my expectations the moment I stepped inside. Everything was high-tech, modern, and felt brand new. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use the fire area due to the rain, but overall, I had a great experience. My only comment is that there were quite a few security cameras, including in the backyard. I see the pros and cons about it, but I felt a bit excessive.

Remodeled Stinson Seadrift Lagoon Escape
my friend and I stayed at Peter‘s place over Easter weekend, and we just loved everything about it. The home layout was fantastic with one wing having all of the social spaces, dining kitchen lounging rooms with huge windows that looked across both lagoons. Beautiful sunset and watching the sea birds. The other wing had a sleeping quarters in the bathrooms. Everything was pristine and there was plenty of space. One room is a bunk room, which was super fun and the beds were really comfortable. The house is well located and even more beautiful than the pictures Peter was super responsive and proactive we would stay again in a heartbeat. There are such beautiful, calm, peaceful energy, a great place to unwind.

Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area
I had such a lovely stay at this unique top-floor Airbnb in Alameda! Nestled right by the lagoon, the location was peaceful and scenic, with gorgeous light filtering through the windows all day. The space had this wonderful artsy, hippy-aunt energy — full of character, cozy nooks, eclectic decor, and little touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe, and enjoy a good book or a walk by the water. Super comfortable, clean, and well-stocked with everything I needed. Alameda itself is a charming escape just outside the bustle of SF, and this spot was the perfect base for exploring. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something with heart and soul. I’d absolutely stay here again!

Spacious Waterfront Home, near San Francisco, Napa

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.

Fine Accommodations by the river!
Somehow I missed animals in the house. my bad I'm sure. I was a bit tired from driving and gps taking me the long way. Thank you for your patience. Thank You for having me.
