Top Floor Luxury Beachfront Apartment
Daryl was great to communicate with. Place was spotless with amazing views. Loved the flowers that were waiting for us. Such a lovely place to explore SF.

Luxury Beach View Apartment
Absolutely stunning view, very clean, great location. Very kind in our communications. Highly recommended.

Sausalito Gem with Views!
Cute apartment in a great location. Tv didn’t work, which was a bummer for evenings. Everything else was great.

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
I had a wonderful stay at Nick’s place. The accommodation fully met my expectations—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was straightforward, and Nick was attentive and helpful throughout. I found the location perfect: the beach is easily accessible after crossing a quiet street and walking up a small slope. It's worth noting, for those unfamiliar with the area, that like most homes in the Sunset District, the house is not directly on the beach but separated by a road, some footpaths, and a bluff. This is entirely typical for the neighborhood. I would absolutely book with Nick again.

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
We had a wonderful stay at Mary’s apartment! The space was spacious, airy, and filled with great natural light. Everything was spotless, and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were traveling with our 1-year-old daughter and found there was plenty of room for all of us. The weather was quite warm during our visit, and although there was no AC, two fans were readily available. Once we opened the windows, a lovely cross breeze kept the space comfortable. The location was fantastic—we could easily walk down to the lake and grab a bite at a local restaurant. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very family-friendly. Mary also checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed, which we really appreciated. One of the highlights was the gorgeous view of the lake from both the balcony and the kitchen window. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming Waterfront Home in San Mateo, near SFO
I decided to have a relatively longer stay (6 months) at this AirBnB. The place was generally as advertised. Very clean, good location, served my purposes well from layout and amenities perspectives. The standout for me was less the AirBnB and more the hosts. Very friendly and responsive. I would stay at any location with these hosts . . . would be a pleasure.

San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
First and foremost, thanks Julieta for allowing us to stay at your property. The photos truly don’t do the place and location justice. The views are incredible. The location is perched on a hill whereby its backyard is essentially an incredible hiking journey to several different peaks and vistas. Then, the convenience of having restaurants and grocery stores simply at the bottom of the hill. This is an absolute gem. Book it while you can!

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
Wonderful space! Beautiful views and just what we were looking for! Great host and unbeatable views! Would definitely return!

Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
I cannot say enough good things about this home and the host, Yan. The home was even more spacious than I thought, was extremely clean and Yan had included little things like snacks and bottles of water that made our stay even more pleasant. She responded almost immediately when I messaged her and had many good recommendations for food and activities. She went so far as to send us addresses and tell us her favorite items on the menu. Public transport was close, but we also had a parking space!! Unreal! The beds were comfortable and the living room sofa and chairs were great for relaxing. The kitchen is a really good size and had everything we needed. Overall, one of the best homes and hosts we’ve ever had. I highly recommend this home and Yan if you’re ever in SanFrancisco.
