Apartment in San Francisco
5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsTop Floor Luxury Beachfront Apartment
This top floor unit has a beautiful view of the ocean. Some of the photos of the unit do not do it justice as if it looks like they were taken while the apartment/condo was being set up. It is nicely appointed, new construction and very clean. The communication was stellar and whenever we had a question there was an onsite person (unit below us) that was very fast at answering questions. Daryl was also very quick to answer messages sent via the website messaging. My family enjoyed the quite and natural beauty while having access to SF's sites and neighborhoods. It felt like the perfect spot for us to rest and explore! They allowed a late check out which was greatly appreciated. Our go to place for our next visit to San Francisco. An unexpected bonus was that the Great Highway road in front of the building closes to cars from Friday night to Sunday (and holidays) for pedestrians and bicycles. Would highly recommend staying here!

The Fairmont Apartments are a great place to stay if you are traveling with family and also want to be close to the tourist spots of SF. The location is A+. Gorgeous Bay views from one of the bedroom and really cool to also have views of inside Ghirardelli. I have to also give a big shout out to the staff at the Fairmont. They were so friendly and helpful. The Airbnb host was always quick to respond and helpful. The place is really nice, clean and has everything we needed; down to the high end Le Labo! It allowed my family to walk to so many of their tourist lists within minutes. We also loved that we could take the dog with us and they left a dog bed, bowl and treats for him. The gym was very nice and love having a Nespresso machine in the apartment and in the lobby; made me feel we were in a EU hotel. Lovely lounge & outdoor space too. Lastly, if you are a runner this an ideal place to stay, the views from Embarcadero-Marina-GG Bridge are just amazing and most flat :)

Apartment in Oakland
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviewsBeautiful 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.

Great apartment with easy parking and access. The apartment was really comfortable, quiet and great access to the downtown area. I didn’t use the community facilities but seems like a great place for a longer stay with good options. The hosts were very receptive when I had questions. Would stay here again.
Apartment in San Francisco
5 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviewsSpacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Nick's place is literally right across from the Pacific Ocean and is so peaceful and quiet in the evenings and early mornings. The one bedroom is comfortable-- the kitchen is well stocked and the bedroom has plenty of shelves and closet space. The bathroom is clean and thoughtfully includes a hairdryer and also lots of toilet paper and supplies. The couch is comfortable and the table and desk were easy to spread out on. I was in town for a conference (long days and nights) and so my only regret is that I wasn't on the premises for very long each day. I didn't have the opportunity to truly enjoy the beach, but Nick's place does have a way to enter from the yard which would have been perfect for cleaning off sand and coming in. I found the area very peaceful and quiet and was always reluctant to take off early in the morning. A GREAT deal, a comfortable apartment, and passcode locks that work well. Bonus is the easy to find street parking. Highly recommend.

5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsConvenient 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.
Apartment in Daly City
5 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsSF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
Great location, beautiful views, close enough to many attractions (yet far enough from the city for peace and quiet) - like pier 39, Fisherman’s wharf, Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods (Redwoods National Forest), Ocean Beach (Sand Dollar Gold Mine), China Town, the “Full House” on Broderick St., Musée Mécanique and so much more. The shops down at the Pier are awesome. MO’s Grill near Chinatown has amazing food, SF Hole in the Wall too! This air BnB is centrally located to everything fun to keep us busy! We loved it! The hot tub was such a relief at night after walking up to 10 miles for some of our adventures!!

The property was great and the location primo. Host responded to the few questions we had very quickly. Great place would happily stay again. One thing the neighbors like to challenge your parking prowess. Brush up on your backing up skills.

Condo in Oakland
4.6 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsBright, Lofty Penthouse, steps to lake and park!
Fantastic location near Lake Merritt, easy access to local freeways, two blocks from Whole Foods. Secure underground parking, it has one of the best parking spots (if not the best) in the building. The building features Goggle fiber, I measured WiFi upload/download speed over 400Mbps. Linda cleaned and sanitized the unit extremely well before our arrival, paying attention to every detail including all touch areas like switches and handles. The unit is rather large (over 800sqf) for a one bedroom / one bath, and with the high ceilings it looks even bigger. It has plenty of storage, and two work areas which my wife and I used for our computers. This is definitely the first spot I would choose my next trip to the area. Thank You Linda !!!!!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 183 reviewsFine Accommodations by the river!
As always, Carole's place is perfect. Absolutely no complaints. I will say that coming into town this time couldn't have been more perfect! I landed literally a few blocks away from Carole's place just on instinct, it was the best way to come in! Another great stay.
Condo in Emeryville
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 83 reviewsWater View,Lux Condo w/ Balcony Near San Francisco
My husband and I were traveling for work and play. The location was fabulous. We went to visit the tourist spots in San Francisco which was a relatively short Uber over the bridge,m and the home was located next to the train station (we ended our stay by getting on the Amtrak to ride back to Chicago for views of the mountains). We felt safe in the building and in the neighborhood. Kathy was very responsive and gave great instructions for entering and exiting the building. Any questions I had in the meantime, she was always there to assist. The home was clean and well stocked with essentials for us as working folks. Having an accessible laundry room was a great addition. If we’re ever in the area again, we know where we’re booking!

If you are looking for a place by the water in SF this is a great option for you. There is a Safeway just in front of the apt which is super convenient and there are many parking spaces on the street if you need them.
