Sunny, boho-chic home near the Lake-Business Ready
Suzanne made our stay extremely easy and enjoyable! The house is lovely, the bed was very comfortable and had two nice reading lights and plenty of space to put our clothes in the dresser and the closet. The bathroom shower worked great and had everything we needed. I also liked that there was a rolling cart we could keep our toiletries. Suzanne had a kitchen with delicious coffee and let our daughter bring by milk and a few snacks before we arrived. We accidentally broke a cup one morning and were happy to pay to replace it but Suzanne told us not to worry about it, which we really appreciated. All her instructions were clear and she was very responsive. We expect to stay there again on our next visit to see our daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law.

El Cerrito single-family cottage
I booked this place for my mom and brother who were visiting the Bay Area for a week. The cottage is located behind the host’s house. It looked just like the photos, with clean bathroom (with hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash), kitchen (with basic kitchenwares and full fridge), comfortable queen size bed, and living room with futon and a large TV. I noticed that the house is conveniently located near BART station, which made it easy for me to visit them even without a car. It’s right by I-80, 5 minutes walking distance 99 Ranch, and 15 minutes walking distance to the BART station. There are also lots of restaurants around the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!

Northbrae Cottage
I really enjoyed my stay at Reuven's place. Reuven was a welcoming host with prompt responses . He checked in regularly during my stay to make sure I had everything I needed. I met Reuven a few times in person and he was always warm and friendly. The cottage itself was very comfortable and clean and had high quality amenities. It's located in a nice neighborhood and you can walk to pretty much everything including UCB. The off-street parking spot and brand new washer/dryer were especially helpful. I highly recommend the cottage to anyone visiting the East Bay and I would love to stay here again when I visit my daughter next time!

Modern 2BR in Rockridge / Berkeley, Walkable
Perfect home base for a family member’s milestone birthday nearby. Easy neighborhood with many amenities within 10 min walk. Friendly, proactive host and lodging as described.

Modern Vintage Garden Bungalow
Lovely bungalow with an exceptional backyard space. Very comfortable beds, and fully stocked kitchen made for a great home away from home stay.

Prime Location! Walk to BART, Shops & UC Berkeley
Oh my goodness! I can hardly believe we got so lucky to book this place for our trip to Berkeley. I'll definitely book again on our next visit. Location: AMAZING. Walking distance to groceries, Philz coffee shop, BART, restaurants etc. House: Clean and comfortable. Great kitchen, multiple bathrooms, really comfy beds, basic necessities (towels, shampoo etc), low scent (huge plus if like me you suffer from asthma). Historic home in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees. Wonderful communication from Scott, super friendly and accommodating. Stop your searching. Just book!

Mid-Century, Stunning, Views
Worked for a family with three adult sons having a bit of time together. Nice combo of indoor and outdoor space.

Walkable mid-century 2BR w/views & rooftop deck
Beth’s place is a hidden gem. Tastefully appointed, spacious, restorative, and centrally located. Will stay here again when I return to Berkeley.
House rentals with a hot tub

Lovely, Unique Home Near Everything
We loved this home. The area was great and near everything and the street was nice and quiet for the area. The home was immaculate, the care to maintain this home is obvious! Next time we are in San Francisco, this will be our first choice for lodging.

Play Paradise – Hot Tub, Bball, Arcades, P Tables
We stay in airbnbs for work travel almost monthly. This is by far the most special house. The beds are so comfortable! That is a rarity. It's a fun house with tons of games and a great yard. I can't say enough about how great this house is. You can tell from the start how much the host puts into making sure his guests have a great time.

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.

Lovely Cottage garden oasis w/Hot Tub near BART 🌹
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

Coastal Retreat w/ Ocean Views
I’d recommend an upgrade to the WiFi, but short of that … the property was perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

🌆NEW ModErn-LuxuRy Home🏘🌉 Prime Location!
We had a wonderful stay celebrating my mom’s birthday! The home was clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Duke was incredibly kind and accommodating—he even allowed us an early check-in so we could set up for our small family dinner, which meant so much to us. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Walnut Creek. Thank you, Duke, for helping make this celebration so special!

Redwood Forest Home w/ Hot Tub at Lagunitas Creek
My daughters and their husbands joined us at Luke's so we could attend a neice's wedding at Stinson Beach. The setting for the house is beautiful! We loved our brief time in the hot tub surrounded by Redwood trees. The house is eclectic and we all wanted to know the history. Surrounding grounds are magical with pathways and beautiful foliage. A wonderful deck where we languished and wanted to stay! When we arrived it was dark with spotty internet connection. We struggled to find the house. I recommend you arrive with plenty of daylight to be able to adequately follow the instructions. Other than that it was a wonderful experience. Wish we had more time to stay and explore!

Entire Private Coastal Retreat - Spectacular Ocean
Andria’s place was great. Pictures do not do it justice .i have never seen a kitchen so equipped and high end appliances. The view is fabulous the yard is great the home is very comfortable and close to restaurants. Great sunsets.and very private and quiet. Never heard the traffic like others have noted.

Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

Pool, Hot tub, Napa, SFO Clean
Great central spot in Concord. Georgie is a fantastic host and the house is extremely well supplied. Our stay was wonderful.

Fully renovated private cul-de-sac home in Marin
We had an amazing stay at Casita Casita, the kids had so much fun in the pool and the kitchen was beautiful. On the last day, my six year old didn’t want to leave, she said she wished we could live there forever. It was super clean and when I did have a question, Courtney replied almost immediately. She was super great to work with, she sent us the house guide before our arrival and it included food recommendations. There was also a book printed guide which we actually referenced a lot! So that was helpful. The location is EXTREMELY walkable, we had fun walking to local shops and restaurants and the local park and bocci ball court.

Unreal Beachfront Marin Getaway!
A group of lifelong friends and I meet once a year for a long weekend to catch up, decompress, and spend time together. We chose San Francisco this year and after hunting on AirBnB we stumbled across this estate on JAR Farms. The host Nikki was proactive, helpful, and responsive. We arrived on Wednesday and drove to thru the gate into a lush oasis. The pictures on the listing didn't do the property justice. We arrived at the guest house to a welcome gift of wine, local honey, and snacks. We were a group of 6 adults and the guest house was cozy yet a perfect size for a reunion of friends. We were given a tour of the property showing us the boat house/beach, grand staircase to the bay overlook, the pool house (pool and hot tub), gardens, bee hives, and the many trails on the property. The mornings we hiked Monahan Trail at the adjacent Old St. Hillary's Preserve. In the afternoons we enjoyed the hot tub and a nice bbq dinner. Perfect weekend! HIGHLY recomended. Will be returning!

Cactus House & Suite: 4 bedroom 3 bathroom
Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

Oakland Hills home with Pool!
We stayed at this place for nine days and had a fantastic experience. It was clean and plenty of space in the house. By car it's easy to experience the whole Bay area from this place.

Hill Top Spa Retreat
Wow - we had an amazing stay and loved Job's beautiful home. The photos barely capture the incredible views. 180 degrees views of Mt. Tam all the way down to the Bay - truly on top of world. Pool was bigger than expected, warm water, great covered porch, VERY nice pool house/bedroom & bath. All beds were super comfortable, everything sparkling clean and living room was such a great and comfy area to watch movies or just look at the view with a good book. Kitchen is outfitted (and labeled) with everything you need. Very close to San Anslemo downtown - which is filled with great lunch spots, coffee shops. So much to do in Marin and this is centrally located (note a steep driveway but we had no issues.) Can't think of a single improvement Job could make. I left something behind and he responded that day that he would ship back to me. One of our most favorite Airbnbs ever. THANK YOU!

MCM Waterfront Pool/Hot Tub between SF and Napa
Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.
