Newly remodeled 3bd/2bth in downtown Walnut Creek
Everything was exactly as described and very walkable to the Walnut Creek shops. The interior was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place to stay overall.

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We stayed for a long weekend for a wedding with our big family. The place was great! Bedrooms are spacious, views and grounds are beautiful! We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Thanks Bill!

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Der Aufenthalt entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Sean war sehr freundlich, gab uns viele Tipps und stellte auch Getränke und Snacks zur Verfügung, was eine tolle Geste war. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig und gut gelegen. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt haben wir uns unsicher gefühlt und insbesondere die Möglichkeit in der Garage parken zu dürfen, war sehr von Vorteil. Daher insgesamt für einen Kurzaufenthalt sehr zu empfehlen.

Top Quality Two Bedroom Home Near San Francisco
Lovely, clean house with anything you’d need. Great location — a block away from restaurants, local shops and the main bus line — but felt very private. Beautiful front garden.

*Designer East Bay Remodel Home*
This place was perfect for our family of 5. We all had plenty of space and fun playing pool. The host was responsive and super accommodating! Would highly recommend.

Modern 3 bedrooms 2 baths private flat on 2nd FL
Great stay. One of the best appointed kitchens I’ve stayed in. House was lovely, comfortable and great for a group. Close to the beach and Golden Gate Park. Easy access to a Safeway and public transportation. I would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Excellent experience! I rarely like staying at the same spot more than once. However, we will 100% look for this same listing again next time that our family is back in the bay area to visit our family. Great property!

Cole Valley Casa
Our stay at Caroline's place was wonderful. We have two kids so the private outdoor space was great. The location was wonderful with restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery, etc. Also walking distance to Golden Gate Park. I would definitely recommend.

Stylish Studio Suite in San Francisco
As advertised, comfortable and affordable place at a great location in walking distance from Moscone.

Studio Suite with Rooftop Lounge in San Francisco
Stayed at The Donatello for 2 nights! Very easy check in and check out process. The hotel room was beautiful and spacious and and the staff was very courteous. The building is in downtown SF so it's not completely insulated from noise. Overall, I enjoyed my stay!

Enjoy a Hassle-Free Stay! Pet-friendly Property!
It was a clean, good stay. A bit noisy at night.

Private Mid-Century Modern W/ Secluded Yard
This is our second time staying in this Grand Lake neighborhood gem. We used to live just down the street so it feels like coming home. I can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else when we visit family.

SoMa 9 Residences Room 9 Private Bath
Just like it says in the description. Good value and in Soma. The other unit in this place has a window and I think is nicer.

Studio Suite in the Heart of San Francisco!
Kalven was proactive and reached out to me as I booked to let me know about the place and also watch out for the hotel to try to sell timeshare. Overall really great value for money paid right near union square. Lots of places to go eat and place was safe at least until 11 as long as you don’t head towards tenderloin. Super close to the union square cable car which takes you directly to fisherman s wharf, Lombard etc - buy a day pass and take the red cable car and save money ! Room was spacious, bed was comfy and bathroom delivered comfy showers! Will stay again !

Rare Find! 2 Relaxing Units, Pool, Pet-friendly!
Stay was comfortable. No complaints.

Luxury Bay View 2 bedroom suite with hotel service
Wonderful property, a hotel but more personal. Amazing location. SF is on the rebound. So nice to walk around all around the property. Wonderful hosts who have been super cool for two stays now. Couldn’t recommend it more for a family. So spacious and the views are second to none.

Sparkling Clean Newly Remodeled 1BR near SF/SFO+EV

This is my second time staying here (a first for me!), and I loved it as much during this stay as I did the first. Fantastic location, friendly host, lots of privacy, unique stay. Thanks again, John. See you next time!

Modern Rustic Retreat Home w/cedar hot tub
This place is a gem! It feels like you are in a tree house with almost 360 views. I stayed here during my wedding and it was amazing. It made my wedding that much more special. The house is a bit older but nothing that took away from the beauty of this home.

2BR House with Canyon & Hillside Views
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

It's a beautiful place! The ocean view is spectacular. The lights on the Pacifica Pier light up the ocean at night so it feels like you have an ocean view 24/7.
