Not only is the mushroom dome comfortable and serene, it was also a pleasure meeting Kitty and Michael. They were both so welcoming and kind. The property itself is very beautiful and forested. We were really close to some fabulous hiking and a fun dog-friendly beach. Kitty and Michael welcomed our standard poodle, Jasper, as did their friendly little dogs! Kitty showed us everything we needed to know about the cabin (composting toilet, how the heating system works) so we were well equipped for a comfortable stay. They have music, books, DVDs, and games so there was never a dull moment and we had a lot of fun with the media that was inside the dome. The bed is really comfortable and I got a great night's sleep every night we were there. I would totally come back!

We completely understand why this is #1 on AirBnB! We arrived at the property which is more secluded than we expected and better than we'd hoped. Hummingbirds everywhere and Kitty took the time to share a bit about the property and and houses, then led us to the mushroom dome which was exactly as pictured. The deck is really incredible looking over at redwoods. All the amenities you need, comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom, and generally just a fantastic experience. Nothing I could share that would improve it except if it was more available so we could have stayed longer :) Thank you!

It felt like you were visiting family. They were so friendly and welcoming! The place was beautiful and the area was woodsy. It was close to the beach, and the boardwalk. Great overall experience!

What a magical little place to stay. We so appreciated the warm welcome and loved the forest, the hummingbirds, the quiet...thank you!

What a fantastic place and absolutely charming hosts. It really is a magical hideaway in the woods and we had a restful, peaceful, restorative stay. Kitty made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended.

The cabin was as cute and well-thought out as can be. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming and thoughtful. The cabin was in a lovely visual setting, yet easily received clearly transmitted voices from above in the family's driveway... so sitting on the balcony of the little cabin was very peaceful after about 9pm, but was often cluttered by conversations in the mid-afternoon. Aside from that, the hosts truly were as friendly as can be, and the cabin was amazingly equipped with everything you might need to just get away and never have to leave if you wanted. It was also very comfortable and kept incredibly clean. We really enjoyed our weekend.

The Mushroom Dome was the perfect ending to our two week trip around California. We needed a quiet, relaxing place to enjoy nature. Kitty was a great host who introduced us to her hummingbirds and gave us great suggestions for stops down the coast. We'd recommend the Dome to any of our friends traveling to California.

Kitty was the most incredible host in the most incredible cabin. She greeted us with her adorable dog and brought us fresh goat milk and even left us a bottle of sparkling cider in the fridge. She told us about all the beautiful hidden treasures and hikes on the property. The cabin itself is beautiful. Great little kitchen, shower, fridge, hot-plate, comfy bed on the lofted top "floor" and a tv with lots of DVDs. Wifi worked great too! Waking up to the sunshine pouring through the trees and into the dome's window was magical. We also had an easy 20 min drive into Santa Cruz downtown for dinner and in the morning we cooked breakfast in the cabin, which we enjoyed on the deck. I only wish we could have stayed more than one night! Thanks Kitty!

Rachel's cabin is an absolutely perfect getaway! The only hard part is deciding whether to stay in and enjoy the wood-burning fireplace, record player, and book collection – or to head out and explore nearby redwood forests, ocean bluffs, and vineyards. Needless to say, a week wasn't nearly long enough and I'm looking forward to coming back :)

Had an incredible weekend at Rachel's cabin... The place looks just like it appears in the pictures, and the kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace are all easy to use. I would definitely recommend Rachel's place for anyone looking for a quiet weekend away.

Rachel's place was just as pictured. It was so lovely, amazing collection of records and the location was perfect. My favorite part were the mornings on the back patio, enjoying a cup of coffee looking out taking it all in. Perfect place for a relaxing refresh.

Pros: This place is pretty cute! We had a great time hanging out in front of the wood stove and listening to records. The host was kind and helpful. Lots of privacy, very fast internet, short drive to cute little town or the ocean. Very quiet, when it's not raining. :) Nice view. Cons: The bed is uncomfortable and there's no ergonomic place to sit with a laptop. The construction feels rough and unfinished, but that didn't bother us much. This place is not as polished as some AirBnBs are, but it's also not as expensive. If you're looking for a slightly rugged Cabin Experience you'll enjoy it. If you want a place to do laptop work, sleep a lot, and lounge comfortably in luxury, or want to stay for more than a few days, this isn't a good choice.

I have mixed feelings about this place. It was cute and quirky like the listing said, but it wasn't quite as endearing as I expected. Pros: - location - surrounded by redwoods, it is a beautiful setting. It is far enough from towns to make it feel secluded but close enough to get places easily. We enjoyed time on the river, ocean, hiking, biking, wine tasting, and eating good food! - host - she was good at communicating and responded very quickly when I emailed her with questions during our stay - unique place to stay - if you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, this can be a fun place - for being a cabin, I was pleasantly surprised at the full-sized bathroom with a great supply of hot water - good price point :-) Cons: - this is a CABIN, not a house - just make sure you know that! If you are expecting to camp in a cabin, this feels like a great upgrade, but if you are expecting to stay in a typical house you will be disappointed. So most of the cons are related to this ... They may not be cons if you expect them! - there is no central heat, and very little if any insulation. Which means it's COLD!! Even in July. We didn't light a fire the first night, just used space heater in the loft, and we were freezing. We learned our lesson quickly! So you need to plan to light the fire every night, and keep stoking it. The cabin and all your clothes will smell like campfire. - the layout of the cabin is weird, not a typical living room to hang out, no entry table to out your things, no closets or hooks for coats, bags, etc. I think a coat rack and some hooks would be an easy solution. - we didn't really cook, so can't assess the kitchen, but make sure you know that the only fridge is OUTSIDE, not in the kitchen, and there is no freezer (we knew this, but didn't realize how annoying it would be to go outside every time we needed something from the fridge). - no screens on doors, so you can't really leave them open ... One afternoon is was colder inside than out and I would have liked to get some fresh air from the smokey smell. - there are no curtains on the windows ... I was a little concerned about privacy but the neighbors aren't very close and it's not a busy street. The issue was that in the morning the light comes right into the loft and wakes you early ... Learn from my mistake and bring an eye mask if you want to sleep past 6 :-) - finally ... Just when the place was starting to grow on me, we heard squeaking and spotted a mouse running in the living room. We hardly had the doors open at...

If you like a nice, cozy cabin, way up on Magic Mountain, Michael Jackson and Elvis playing in the background on a record player,and you can't forget Blind Beach and the high cliff ocean views at Goat Rock Beach ten minutes away, THIS IS THE CABIN FOR YOU :) Bring an extra little heater and be prepared for all the windows surrounding the cabin so we wished there were curtains at night(URL HIDDEN)Honeymoon 3

Rachel did a great job of providing helpful information prior to arrival. Her place is cozy, in a beautiful location, and full of wonderful books and records. The cabin is tastefully curated and inviting.

My husband and I loved our stay at Rachel's A-Frame cabin. Our stay at the cabin happened to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower. It was so enchanting stargazing from the deck. We also enjoyed cooking in the charming kitchen and listening to Rachel's awesome record collection. It was nice to have all the modern luxuries of a home and still feel like you're camping in the redwoods. The bed was super comfy. it was nice to be able to take a warm shower after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. I loved all the 1970's era trinkets that adorned the cabin. Best glamping experienced yet!

Brenda's place is gorgeous and ideally located. I had a fantastic time there and Brenda is a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

Brenda's flat is cozy and wonderfully decorated, and she's a great host. Excellent restaurant recommendations, good conversation...very much enjoyed my stay.

I couldn't dream of a better first Airbnb experience !!! A comfy bed in a charming flat, close to a lot of public transports (even an historical cable-car) and moreover with a so nice, helpful and well-organised host. Brenda was always ready to give me a hand and she definitely made my first days in SF easier (included an invitation to an opening with her so lively and funny friend). If you have never seen someone who can swim across sf bay from Alcatraz (alive, I mean), you have to go to Brenda's. She has done it twice !!!! With all my respect and thanks.

I had a great experience staying with Brenda in her beautiful home! I loved the private room I stayed in. It was very quaint, and I especially loved having a window next to the bed and a bunch of books all around! It was quiet and I got a great night sleep. Her dog and cat were both really sweet, and Brenda was very nice and helpful when I wasn't feel well. I would definitely recommend staying at Brenda's place!

As it was my first time to San Francisco and using Airbnb, Brenda really made me love both. Once I checked in she introduced me to the house and the pets and we got stuck talking for a good hour. She's a welcoming, open minded, warm and embracing host- I just enjoyed staying at her place so much. Her tips for anything - no matter if it was hiking or dining- just got me into the right place at the right time! If I wasn't staying with her, I would have missed full San Francisco satisfaction. There's not much left to say- the place is lovely, clean, cozy and with Brenda as a host just like a second home. I don't think any of my upcoming airbnbs will ever top that experience!

I found myself really well with Brenda, the house is very cozy and clean, she is very pretty and ready to give advice in the case. I also liked his two furry friends, especially the cat :-) In my experience, I recommend it.

Really wonderful experience in everyway - room and flat are comfortable with great style and Brenda is a kind, thoughtful and gracious host. Cant recommend it highly enough.

The location was perfect, very close to the Mission and Delores Park, and the room was just right for me. Brenda was a great host; very hospitable and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to a single traveler.

Zen, Spa, Tranquility, First Class - what a beautiful place to stay! Our host Karen made herself available before and during the trip. Her emails and information was spot on and easy to follow. The garden sanctuary is truly what you see in the pictures. I am a type A person but I found myself just wanting to sit on the patio and enjoy the tropical beauty. The space is completely private - even out on the patio. The fountains and wind chimes provide a lovely background. The house is upscale and spotless. The bathroom is huge and can only be described as a high end spa bathroom. I have stayed at 4 Seasons, JW Marriott and Hilton and this beat all of them. Towels and sheets are soft and luxurious, kitchen is well appointed. I can't think of one thing that Karen could add to this perfect spot. Karen provided us with VIP passes to the Monterey Aquarium that saved us a lot of money and time by going in a special line for VIPs. It is a good thing there were people booked in after us because I didn't want to leave. I felt like I was in Hawaii. The location is great - easy on and off the highway but you have zero highway noise. Quick access to groceries and the beach. This is half way between Santa Cruz and Monterey and afforded us the chance to take advantage of the entire Monterey Bay experience. I will definatly be returning.

We had an incredible time staying at Karen's 'Secret Garden Sanctuary'. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful. The apartment's decor is unique and very comfortable. She really pays attention to detail to making you welcome. A whiteboard note, a complimentary bottle of wine, delicious muffins, the list goes on. The location is convenient to Santa Cruz, Capitola and great places around Aptos. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing weekend.

This was our 3rd stay w/ Karen in Aptos, and it was as wonderful as our two previous visits! The studio apartment is very Zen, we melt into the space and relax immediately! Karen has high standards for cleanliness, which we really appreciate. This visit we decided to try some of the very local (within walking distance) restaurants. We had an early dinner at Bittersweet Bistro, breakfast at The Red Apple Cafe and another dinner at Mangiamo, all were very good! There is also a great little market withing walking distance, Deluxe Foods, great deli & take-out counter! You can park the car, walk for food, to the beach, very comfortable and lazy!! A & G

Karen is truly one of the greats in hospitality. She made us feel so welcome with all the little details like stocking the fridge with breakfast foods, fruits, smoothies and even a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. Her house is truly magnificent with exotic tropical plants all over and a terrace that is cut out of paradise. Her house was immaculate with well designed furniture and all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Karen for making our stay truly memorable.

I had a great stay at the Secret Garden Sanctuary. It was very peaceful and cozy. Karen made me feel welcome with cookies, chocolate and wine. The apartment was very interestingly decorated and the kitchen well stocked with snacks.

Karen was very sweet with her welcome of having strawberries and chocolate, welcome drink, and breakfast goods upon our arrival. She was very quick and responsive from the time of booking until the time we arrived. There was music that she had left on at her place upon arrival, which relaxed us while settling in. The property is very lovely with thought and care to her decor. The neighborhood was really quiet. Prior to the stay, I was anxious about the parking, because she had mentioned parking wars, but we had no problem parking our SUV the whole time of our stay.

Our stay at Karen's sanctuary was the most relaxing part of our trip to California by far! Both the apartment space and garden are absolutely beautiful and peaceful, and exactly what we needed to chill out for a few days! Although the apartment is directly beneath Karens home, we appreciated the privacy she gave us, after the warm and helpful welcome. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to our friends in the uk!

Our visit to the secret garden didn't disappoint. We enjoyed our days out exploring and our evenings wrapped up on the patio enjoying the warmth and glow from the chiminea. The secret garden is a perfect spot to relax, thanks Karen.

We spent a week at Mike and Nic ´ s apartment. We found the place charming and very convenient. It ´s well equipped and very large. Our hosts are friendly people , you can easily contact them. We recommend them for sure.

Excellent - sorry for writing so very late.. years later, but it really was a lovely place.

My family had a wonderful stay! Mike and Nic were so accommodating, helpful and communicative. The place was clean and cozy and in a perfect location. Thank you so much, my family plans to come back in the future!

This listing is exactly as described. Great for a couple looking to get the feel of living in San Francisco, you really feel like a local. Being active is helpful because there is a lot of uphill walking everywhere in San Francisco! We loved every minute!

Our experience at the "Grand and Cozy 1920's SF Studio" was exceptional. It is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood with easy parking. We usually got a spot right next to the studio, or a few cars down. This studio has great character having a history of being a corner grocery store from the 1920's (I got that info. from one of my friends who happened to have lived a few doors down from here in the 1970s!) Despite its age, Mike & Nic have renovated it beautifully, and it is modernly comfortable with old time character (but without old time mustiness!). The appearance and cleanliness of the studio not only met, but even exceeded my expectations. Mike and Nic are great hosts that have provided very nice accomodations. We wanted for nothing. They were also responsive in our communications. My bed was VERY comfortable and I liked that there was a big work desk and dining table (we were on a working vacation).The neighborhood center is just a few blocks away, and it has some small markets, and a great selection of restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. I enjoyed morning coffee at Martha & Bros. and Sandbox bakery (as well as baked goods at the latter). One dinner was at a contemporary Peruvian place called Piqueos. The food was interesting and delicious (especially the complimentary fried garbanzo bean appetizer, yucca balls and pulled pork sandwich), and we received excellent service. Restaurants & cafes where we had good experiences in other parts of the city included Tuba Turkish, Red Cafe, Philz Coffee and Dynamo Donuts in the Mission district, as well as Golos and Alegrias (Spanish tapas) in the Marina. I had been planning to take public transportation, but being the Californian that I am ended up driving everywhere. I had no problems with traffic despite it being an exceptionally busy weekend (Fleet Week, World Cup, Giants Game, 49rs, music festival in Golden Gate park). I was able to find the less traveled routes (looked at my GPS navigation, and then drove parallel streets to those it suggested). I was able to get from Marina Jr. High (near the water) to the studio in 15 minutes flat after we watched the Saturday air show. I highly recommend this studio, and hope to be returning to it in future trips to SF.

This charming studio apartment was the perfect place to stay while traveling on business to SF. I would also come back and stay here again with the family. The apartment is fully equipped with all the basics and there are some very thoughtful details as well. Thank you Mike and Nic!

This spot fit our needs. It is cozy, but not overly small. The double bed was comfortable and the fold out couch was serviceable as well. The small kitchen area was a great touch. The hosts were easy to communicate with and repsonsive to emails or calls when I had questions. Overall, it was a good place in the neighborhood we wanted to stay in. If we come back we'd stay there again.

We really enjoyed this studio apartment, which felt cozy, warm and provided plenty roomy for three of us. The neighborhood was convenient to the Mission, Castro and surrounding neighborhoods; and other parts of the city were accessible by bus. Perhaps the best part was easy parking nearby - a real city bonus. Mike and Nic were available, low key and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend this spot - especially if you are interested in being in Bernal Heights.

The garden retreat was perfect and Sara was amazing. Her dog Boo is adorable and got along with my dog so well. The place is warm and inviting and quiet. Great location being near both Buena Vista park and 2 blocks from Haight. There's a pilates studio 4 blocks away which was perfect for me. I highly recommend staying with Sara, her place is perfect for R&R and she's super nice.

Great location with lots of great cafes and restaurants. Easy public transport options for downtown and other landmarks. Perfect for exercises with the Golden Gate park less than a mile away. Super friendly host, willing to help with anything. Loved our stay.

Such a great place to stay. Sara was very welcoming and went out if her way to make our stay comfortable. The location was superb and Bo the dog was the icing on the cake. So much easier to park then we feared too.

Staying in the Haight at Sara's place is the perfect setting to experience San Francisco. Access was easy and working with Sara to coordinate our arrival time was a breeze. The place was spacious, open and very comfortable - the photos are good representations of this. The electric fireplace, cupboard of classic board games and outdoor sanctuary were unique features that made our stay memorable. We went to SF to road bike, and Sara helped us with recommended routes and a cycling map - well above and beyond our expectations. We hope to visit Sara and her great dog Boo on our next trip up!

Sara was waiting for us when we arrived from the airport and everything went really smoothly. Sara's apartment is very well located in the colorful neighbourhood of Haight-Ashbury. There are many nice restaurants and small cafés to have different bites every single day of the week. The apartment itself is quiet and tastefully decorated. All the amenities correspond to what was described in the announcement. Some chocolate and local wine were waiting for us upon arrival. Thank you Sara for those treats :).

This flat was stylish and comfortable and only a few seconds away from Haight street so great for sightseeing and restaurants. The host Sara left a lot of very useful information about the area in a pack for us on arrival and a bottle of bubbles and a couple of beers in the fridge too which was a really lovely touch. There were supermarkets nearby too which was great for stocking the fridge but note that there are no cooking facilities or kitchen sink at the flat. There is a small grill and a coffee machine and crockery and cutlery but you need to wash up in the bathroom. We hadn't read the description clearly and had thought that there would be a grill/gas cooker so meals were a little tricky on a budget but the listing didn't specify other kitchen facilities so we should have checked. Sara was very friendly in our communications and very quick to respond to all our enquiries which was great. The garden was really lovely too and the flat was really peaceful and quiet. A perfect place to stay for the sights of San Francisco.

Just perfect. GREAT location, very accessible to everything and could catch an Uber/Lyft within 2 minutes anytime. The way the apartment is situated makes it quiet and peaceful. The furnishings and description is entirely accurate. A wonderful local grocery nearby lets you buy necessities (food, wine), but Sara keeps the basics well stocked (TP, towels). Very comfortable, great atmosphere and highly recommend.

My wife, daughter (5 months) and I spent one week in Sara's lovely flat. We definitely enjoyed her hospitality and the accommodation itself. The location is perfect, close to downtown SF but still peaceful and quiet. We'll be back!

Great little one bedroom apartment. The hosts made me feel very welcome and even saved me a parking spot. I wasn't too familiar with SF, so I didn't realize that it was part of a larger tri-level house. There was a family living above me, but the pitter patter didn't bother me.

Overall a good experience. We didn't spend time in the apartment besides sleeping there, but the neighborhood is really cute and located near some great beach and hiking spots. Mostly residential. The apartment is well decorated and charming. Nancy and Dennis were very friendly and accommodating to meet us a little early for the key exchange. I didn't realize from the listing that it was a converted basement, so I'd just recommend that be made clearer in the description. We could hear footsteps and light noise above us, so it may not be ideal for a light sleeper.

Very good experience and really sweet and helpful hosts. Highly recommended.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Lovely apartment in safe area. We used passes for the bus which was frequent and got us downtown in about 25 minutes. Dennis and Nancy were friendly and helpful and gave us good advice on where to eat and how to get about. The laundrette next door is efficient and easy to use. Angelina's deli on the corner and Bazaar Cafe across the road were lovely for breakfast and lunch. The store across the road was a little expensive but ok for essentials - plenty more in the vicinity on Clement.

This place was amazing! Clean and spacious! We had free street parking and we're just a swift ride away from downtown! It was wonderful and homey!

The perfect stay, super comfy with everything you need, Angelinas deli on the corner, laundromat practically next door, grocer across the road and bus stop right out front your door! Neighbourhood is extremely quiet and a great base for seeing everything The city has to offer!!! Can't recommend this place anymore!!!

Before we arrived, Dennis sent us instructions on where the apartment was and how to get in. The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood in the Richmond District. Perfect if you are exploring the Presidio Park, the Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach. It's a bit far to downtown, but an Uber will get you there without any hassle. Busses also run past the apartment, but if going downtown, it's gonna take you a while. The apartment is very cozy and nice decorated. It is in the basement, so the ceiling is low and you can hear people walking upstairs. But this didn't bother us. The bed was comfortable, but watch out for the bedframe, it will give you bruises if you're not careful going past the bed! We followed up on one of their suggestions on where to eat, and it was great(Pizetta 211)! Internet is okay, was a bit slow. We are very happy with our stay here, and would come back! Thanks!

Jeffrey was able to accommodate us at the last minute. We are very grateful for that.

It was really a pleasure to stay with them! A really helpful and friendly host who made my stay very nice. The room is awesome, all furnitures and equipment are of very high quality. They have a look at every detail, even the bath tub got a jacuzzi inside :)

Very nice central location with clean and renovated bathroom.

Great stay. Location is perfect. Room is fantastic. Next time in San Francisco there is no doubt that I'll stay again at your house. Best, Alex

Totally awesome

We couldn't have wished for a better experience for our first airbnb. This place is beautiful, clean, spacious and so comfortable. The location is ideal, with loads of great places to eat close by, and plenty of handy transport links around the city. Jeff & Mike are super friendly and helpful, and offer great advice on the area. In short, we loved it and can't wait to come back!

Jeffrey could not have been more welcoming and his home is beautiful- exactly as pictured and described. The location is super convenient to shops and restaurants on Fillmore St. and we enjoyed being able to walk right across the street to Mollie Stones for morning coffee. Bed/bathroom both clean and comfortable with everything you would need. Highly recommend!

My 2nd time staying in this fab locations! EVERY thing is perfect! Just like a hotel room without being a hotel room! Close to cute bars and restaurants. Like most spots in SF the bedroom is on the 2nd floor so there are some stairs. I cannot wait to stay again

Beautiful and magical place !

We had a great time at Doug & Linda's treehouse. We didn't get to meet them in person, but they were friendly via text and left typed-up notes throughout the space with logistics and tips for having a great stay. I loved the breakfast they left out for us in the kitchenette in the morning - a very balanced meal! The treehouse looked just as expected, though I didn't expect the bed to be as comfortable as it was! Fell asleep immediately and woke up well-rested to sun streaming in through the windows and birds chirping from nearby tree limbs.

great experience, nice environment, will come back again!

The Treehouse was beautiful, instructions were clear and services were perfect. It' close to the airport so we heard quite a lot of flights landing and taking off but nothing too disturbing. There is birds all around that cover pretty well the annoying sounds around.

It was absolutely beautiful experience from the moment we took a glance at the tree house until we left. The house was filled with lots of love from the family and the people who came there from all over the world. This is "must-try" place when you are in the bay area!

Doug and Linda's treehouse is not only an iconic Airbnb listing, but it demonstrates the very best of what makes Airbnb an idea that is here to stay. The treehouse is incomparable. To anything! It is so unique and warm and special, it is an experience that will indeed provide memories to last a lifetime. It was the best New Years experience we could ever have asked for. The views, the experience of living in a tree, of hearing it creak in the wind, to waking up with the birds is worth any price. But as great as the treehouse is, it's Doug who makes it special and who allows you to connect with the magic that is the Airbnb community. He is a special human. Warm, patient and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the house, about Doug and Linda's family and just overall making us feel welcomed. We cannot recommend Doug and Linda's treehouse highly enough. Proceed directly here. You will feel like you have won the lottery.

This place is magical. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature. Thank you for sharing your gift to the world.

This was the second time I have stayed in the treehouse and it was just as lovely as I remembered from our first visit! Doug is an excellent host and thinks of everything to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your stay. What a unique and wonderful place to spend some quiet time for a night!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time visiting San Francisco especially because Kepa was such a great hostess. The Garden Cabana was a delight. Kepa provided complementary toiletries, towels, blankets and pillows. The garden located right outside was beautiful. We are looking forward to our next visit to SF and we intend on booking with Kepa again.

Kepa's home was perfect,the overall experience was one of the best if not the best Neighborhood:Close to everything but not touristy. Safe. Cute. Close to muni and Bart stations. The cabana: very cute and comfortable for 2 people. everything you need is there from an iron to a mini frig to a coffee maker. No legit kitching but let's be real you are in SF with amazing food. Communication: Kepa is a pro and is easily accessible. She also keeps a very detailed book regarding house rules, restaurants, etc. Other: Kepa is very accommodating, even has storage for bags if you need it I would totally go back her her cabana again.

Absolutely loved Kepa's Cabana! The garden is so peaceful and the space is so lovely. I didn't cross paths with Kepa, but was always able to get in touch with her. I look forward to staying here again, spending more time in the garden, and getting to know this most lovely host!

Kepa's property is amazing and is now in my favorites list. The cabana had everything I needed - from good wifi, to a microwave, an ample tea selection, comfortable bed and an amazing view of her garden, complete with a deck to enjoy it. Kepa is also a great host. We had several good conversations and she was just a warm person to have a chance to talk to. I understand now why her place stays booked. Aside from having a great place and being a wonderful host, she is really centrally located and there are great restaurants in the area. If you have a chance to stay here, book it without delay!

This was my second time staying in Kepa's Garden Cabana - I wish I could stay here every time I visit San Francisco. It is private, easy to access, comfortable, clean, and exactly what a business traveler needs. It took me 20 minutes to Uber to downtown Oakland and only 15 minutes to Uber to the Embarcadero - awesome.

Part 2 review: This is the best location and the most gracious host I've met so far. I almost don't want to leave such gushing reviews since it will mean it is harder for me to stay here next time. She deserves all the kudos you see here!

Great!!!! We had a wonderful time at Kepa. There are very good to say about this property. From the loving little things throughout the Cabana on the incredibly beautiful gardens, the night still radiates itself, the location and of course the hostess !!!! A wonderful, helpful and cordial hostess. We are absolutely delighted and have felt very comfortable. We would always come back!

Through a nondescript white door, one enters into the loveliest of garden sanctuaries, and a gorgeous little private cabana, cozy and comfy on a cold SF night, all details clearly appointed by a proud architect and warm host. Thanks for the wonderful weekend Kepa!

Anka was a great host and make people feel comfortable in her appartment. She is friendly and helpful, she provided us good tips and advices about things to do and places to visit. We had fresh coffee every morning and we really appreciated the breakfast and the cookies she cooked for us. The appartment is beautiful, spacious and has a great location. It is quiet, safe and close to the public transportation We had a lovely time staying with Anka in San Francisco and I would highly recommand her place.

This was my second stay (2 weeks!) with Anka. I had a great stay the first time and coupled with the location and the access to public transport (and her awesome dog), I decided to stay here again. Anka is very friendly and she'll go out of her way to help you settle in and locate all the necessary restaurants/stores/leisure spots you may need. The house is nice, quiet and very clean. Bonus points for a lovable, well-trained dog ;) I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Anka was incredibly kind and welcoming. Her dog was so friendly and adorable!

We had a wonderful time at Anka's home. The place was beautifully decorated, in a great neighborhood and had the most comfortable bed I had ever slept in. Parking was tight, but there is free parking around the block and a garage available a few blocks away. Anka was also very helpful in finding the parking spots and of course the neighborhood hot spots as well. She also had hot coffee ready for us everyday and a delicious breakfast for us one day. If we ever make our way back to SF I'll be hoping to stay here again!

Despite a frosty reception with the unpleasant impression of having disturbed, the apartment is very clean. Well located in the city and with a real comfort for guests. No possibility of parking near the apartment but about 200 m. Anka was very responsive and available for questions of practical order before arrival at the scene. However, some problems understanding (poor English spoken by us certainly, but little effort the host). It s certainly of a "bad" rather than to the views of positive feedback about anka.

Anka's apartment is a beautiful, clean and perfectly located on the edge of Castro - great to explore the local areas and for all transport links. If you are interested in visiting Mission, Haight Ashbury and Castro you could not find a more perfectly located apartment. The room was perfect for us, it was large and well presented, clean and all her facilities met our needs. Anka is an excellent host, offering great local advice and making you feel comfortable and at home. We would definitely recommend Anka's home!

Anka is a fantastic host! The place is well equipped and she was more than happy to help if we needed anything. The bed is VERY comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The house is in a good location - walking distance to local shops, restaurants and bars. Anka provided a comprehensive list of recommendations and the ones we tried were great. This is an excellent place to stay if visiting San Francisco!

Anka was very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was in a quiet neighborhood which we liked and was convenient public transportation. There is a great view of the city from the living room. Just as it looks in the pictures, the apartment gets lots of natural sunlight.

My husband and I visited San Fran for three days two nights, and we chose Ivan & Wend's place to stay as our first airbnb experience. It was an awesome experience, since Ivan and Miranda were away for the days when we came, their friends Sam and Miranda came to take care of the house as well as the guests there. They are so friendly and caring, and Milo is the cutest doggy ever. All in all, it is a good experience, we have a good impression of not only Ivan and Wendy's place, but also San Francisco, and Airbnb! Definitely worth come back!

My stay was fantastic from start to finish. Very welcome and great room, house and location!

Beautiful apartment located right in The Mission - very convenient, many amazing restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. Ivan and Wendy were very accommodating and responsive.

Second time staying with Ivan and Wendy and will definitely be returning if I'm ever in San Francisco again.

Beautiful home. Great location. Totally recommend!

This was my second time staying with Ivan and Wendy, and it was just as lovely as the first time! They continue to be wonderful hosts, giving privacy while at the same time being very friendly and approachable. You won't find a better deal in the heart of SF. I look forward to my stay next year!

Thank you Ivan and Wendy for a wonderful SF trip! We couldn't have loved our room more: the perfect location, the beautiful light, the comfortable bed, the great shower! Great closet space! We were there 4 wonderful nights and would love to come back again!

Outstanding location- great hosts and very quiet, comfortable room! It was a great short stay for me and had everything I look for in a home away from home.

THE BEST PLACE, THE BEST HOST Both of them were truly amazing and me and my girlfriend were super lucky staying at this place and having her as a host. We got to San Francisco after a rough 6 hour drive from LA. Exhasuted, we finally arrived at her place around 8. It was about 2 hours earlier than I told her I would be, but she came back home from work real quick. I only asked her about a good place around her house to have some dinner. But then she brought a bunch of papers and started writing down all the great restaurants and places that she knew in town in order for us to have as much as fun while staying in San Francisco; even her enthusiasm for telling us about San Francisco could have made us not to get a dinner before restaurants got closed. Also her place was fantastic. One word to describe her place is BRAND-NEW. It was very clean and modern. The bed was really comfy as I could have slept forever (me and my girlfriend actually overslept for a few more hours than we expected because of the bed). There was a microwave and coffee machine that made your morning better. And a huge walk-in closet was there for our many clothes. Lastly, the bathroom was beyond our imagination. A nice tub and shower booth was a big, fun part of enjoying our stay. Forgot to say this, using uber take you to any touristy place in 10 to 20 mins, and bus stops are a few steps apart from this place. And as she explained us, hundreds of nice restaurants and bakeries are near this place (in few blocks). My review can seem like clumsy and pointless, but I want anybody looking at this review to know choosing her place will never ever let you down.

The Deck-alicious King master Suite was such a wonderful experience! the room was beyond our expectations. Not only does it have all that is mentioned in the description is also has a wonderful walk in Elfa closet that provided a great place to put all of our clothing from over packed suitcases! The neighborhood features so many great restaurants and coffee shops as well as shopping and easy access to the muni. Kelly was a wonderful host. It was a holiday weekend and we kept strange hours so we never met but not due to a lack of effort on her part. We were constantly checked on via email as to if we needed anything. We look forward to another visit to this wonderful space!

Kelly's place is wonderful, and she is a great and welcoming host! We had friends in town who needed a place to stay, and we found this gem. The room is spacious, clean, has a private bathroom, and located in a great neighborhood. Kelly was very attentive to the guests, and nice touches around the room were great - from free goodies in the in-room fridge, to the chocolates on the bed. The place is located conveniently right next to a strip full of good restaurants, cafes, and bars, and close to the Golden Gate Park. Highly recommended!!

Very pleasant stay ! Comfortable appartment , nice area! Kelly was helpful and she recommended good restaurant addresses ! We will be back !

The room was amazing, better than some hotels where we have stayed. Coffee was provided, hair dryer, cups, zip lock bags, microwave, refrigerator. A good sized walk-in closet and a binder with tips on places we should check out. The location is perfect, since you're away from all the downtown noise and you're surrounded by hidden gems. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for an alternative to a hotel and looking to save some money.

Kelly's apartment was a fantastic spot to stay while touring San Francisco. The neighborhood was quiet but still had great shops for coffee, food etc. it was close to all of the sights we wanted to visit and was so comfortable and clean. A total pleasure to wake up in and come back to at the end of each day. Kelly was a great host. She answered any questions we had and provided us with suggestions of spots to go. Would recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco and I'm sure we'll be back :)

Kelly's place is beautiful! It's conveniently located in the city and is within walking distance of the beach and Golden Gate Park. There is also easy access to public transportation and plenty of coffee shops, bars and restaurants within the area. We had a seamless checkin/checkout and never had any issues during our stay. We would definitely return when we visit again!

We had a great time at Kelly's. The place was just as described plus more. It was a great place for us to spend some time with our son and explore the city. The room was spacious for us and the walk in closet was great for us to settle in for the week. We also appreciated having a couple of plates, cups and silverware available for our use. We were able to have small snacks and simple meals. There was ample towels and the bathroom was nicely done. We loved having the blinds that could easily be operated and the outside deck was great. Hints on where to get groceries and catch the public transportation was helpful. In all, this was our first experience with an Airbnb and throughly enjoyed it. Kelly was responsive to our e-mails, etc. There are a number of steps to climb. We did know about them and had help from our son to get suitcases up and down. Overall, I would recommend this place and would have no problem visiting again.

Chris and Barbara were very welcoming! They let us use their BBQ and we thought their dogs/cat were so sweet! We would definitely stay here again - incredible value for money!!

The Hosts made me feel very welcome. The cottage was very nicely decorated, clean and private. The location was perfect; very close to where I was working.

A wonderful stay, peaceful place, kind and personable hosts. Would enjoy staying here anytime. The room is simple and access to the kitchen and bathroom is easy. Appreciated the quiet space and a chance to unwind from a busy trip to the Bay Area.

Chris and Barbara are very friendly, helpful and warmhearted hosts. They gave us good advice where to go and made us feel very comfortable. The backyard cottage is exactly how it is described. We enjoyed having our own little space and we even got a TV which was really nice after having a day full of sightseeing! Their dogs and the cat are adorable. The neighborhood was nice and close to Oakland downtown. The bathroom and the cottage were both clean. There is nothing bad to say - thumbs up!! :-)

Another great stay with Chris & Barbara! I highly recommend their place. I hope to be back again soon.

Stayed here for work so wasn't around much during the day. Chris was flexible about my late check in. Everything ran smoothly. Cute, tiny studio has comfortable bed and room for your clothing. Fresh towels were left in the private bathroom in the shared kitchen area. You have to cross the small deck to the kitchen/bathroom, but this wasn't an issue. Close enough to walk to restaurants/bars/grocery stores in nearby Temescal and Rockridge, very central location!

Chris and Barb were so lovely and the little cottage room out the back was so quaint. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are in San Francisco!

The cottage was exactly as expected from pictures. It was clean and comfortable.

Amazing home, and host!

Michelle is one of the nicest & most interesting persons i have ever met. She is a great host that makes the travel experience very unique and valuable! With always being supportive, she assures a great stay. The place sits in a great area between downtown, not far from the mission district and the airport, which gives you great flexibility in exploring the city. I strongly recommend a stay!

Michelle was super friendly and a kind host who made us feel comfortable! The apartment was cute and homey and the room was spacious/ bed was comfy! The cats were also super sweet! Quiet hours are from 10pm-7am so they might end a bit early if you like sleeping really late but it was totally fine for us and we had the apt to ourselves most of the morning. Overall, would highly reccomend to everyone!

Great stay! A very comfortable room on a very San Francisco Street. An easy uber or lyft into the city tourist area. Host was very friendly.

Michelle's place is super nice, I really enjoyed my stay during my SFO vacation! Easy access in and out the city, bus stop is close by and neithborhood is very nice. The house is very pretty, real clean and Michelle is a great host! I would definitly recommend this place :)

Super cool home! We enjoyed our stay. :)

Loved my stay. The views are amazing! Comfortable bed, heater, extra blankets, spacious, clean and relaxing, surroundings. Centrally, located for work. 5 star accommodations from me! Ty Michelle and family. For a wonderful. Much needed rest! Enjoyed the kitties as well!

We really liked it there. Very cozy :) Communication with Michelle was great.

Many horrifying tales told by or about women traveling alone start with something along the lines of "I should have trusted my instincts!" This is not such a story. If you are, as I was, hesitant because the host would be crashing on his own couch while you dominated his bedroom, don't be. Robert was a great host, and hardly home as it was. And if you're traveling right, you'll hardly be spending any time in your shelter as is.

I had wonderful experience with Rob! The place is situated in Nob Hill, which was safe area to begin with and had relatively good public transport nearby. Supermarket is right in front of the place and It is also very close to areas with good food and cafes. The room was clean, cozy and big enough for one person to stay. Rob provided me with an useful map of the city with transportation guide, and gave great tour tips (when he had a spare time he walked me to places nearby which was great!). I would definitely revisit if I go San Francisco again!

Robert was a brilliant host. He is helpful kind and very good company. His apartment is a in a fantastic location accessible to the many great things San Francisco has to offer. I would recommend anyone visiting San Francisco to stay with Robert.

This was my first experience staying in an apt as I have always stayed in hotels. To describe in sentence, i feel like I was staying in my home in San Francisco. I belive it is very rear that you can find an apt where the person (Robert) will make sure that basic neccesities are met as if you are staying in a five star hotel. The place, the room, washroom everything was clean. Robert made sure that all the basic needs are met such as: tissues box in the room, comfy clean bed, lamp for low light, seperate supply for battery charging or electrical support for cameras etc. The cupboard was clean with a mini bar includes nuts, chocolate biscuits in a bowl as a gesture. I had complete access to the place as i had my own keys. The washroom is neat. what else you need. Cherry on top, you have your privacy as if your are staying in your hotel. I mean i can go on and on to express how wonderful experience I had staying at Robert Place. He is truly gem of a person and very cooperative. It took me 30 mins to reach his place as I took Lorries Shuttle from the airport and way back took the shuttle to the airport also. Easy to reach his place and easy to be at all the Hot Spot places to visit. In 15 to 20 mins you are in Union Square. In 15 to 20 mins you are in Fisherman Wharf. You just step down and you have hundred places to start your day with breakfast. I mean I was lucky to stay at this place. Dont miss the opportunity to stay at Robert Place if you want to visit Sanfran. and thanks to airbnb.

Was really cozy and central to where I needed to be. Good bed and wifi helped me stay in touch with friends and family

Robert's place is in a great location that is hard to beat. Everything you want to see in SF is a short walk away. I've been to SF several times and was looking for something different to do. Robert proved to be a great host and is quite knowledgeable about the area. He made several excellent recommendations and I followed through with a couple. I had a great visit and would stay again. Thanks Robert!

I had a great stay at Robert's apartment. Robert is a wonderful host and knows the city very well, ask him about bike tours! The apartment is comfortable and clean - highly recommended.

The stay at Roberts apartment was perfect for my first Airbnb experience. Nice and clean room, relaxed atmosphere and everything you could want. Try the bakery downstairs, perfect place in the morning. The apartment is perfectly situated for a great SF experience, almost everything is in walking distance if you like to climb hills, otherwise ride the cable car. Robert is a nice and relaxed guy and a perfect host, you should try one of his bike tours!

Josh is really nice, friendly and welcoming. His place is clean and a perfect location. It's really easy to walk around to go places (to get food, to go out and to visit) and if it's not walkable distance, there are a few buses nearby that you can hop on. We enjoyed staying there a lot! :)

Josh was a great host! Very welcoming and easy to talk to. He was also super accommodating, and offered a ton of great suggestions for us to do while exploring the city. He has a lovely home and I would definitely stay there again when I'm in town. He made our stay great and easy and we are so appreciative of his hospitality!

Josh's appartement was really tidy and clean. He is really well organised and prepared a small guide for us. The room was cute and comfortable. My friend and I would definitely recommand his place! Castro district is really quiet and Josh's place is really accessible (many bus and a metro station). I also want to mention that at the end of our stay, my friend had an accident and Josh has been really helpful. Thanks again for everything you did for us!

Place was very clean, accessible and in a great area walking distance from restaurants and bars. Josh was a great host and the view was incredible.

Wonderful stay. Nice host.

The place is great and Joshua a very welcoming and nice person. I really enjoyed my time there!

Joshua's house was a great one tidy and beautiful especially the window view for the SF city. And we have received a great hospitality since our stay there. He also gave us a lot of food suggestions, Btw his home made coffee was amazing! This must be your best choice there! Elaine

Josh was a great host and his place was absolutely beautiful with a great view of the city.

I've stayed in a lot of AirBnB's and Charlesie and Tedd are hands down the nicest hosts I've met. They have a really comfortable place that worked great for my family. We came to town for an out-patient surgery and I was more than comfortable recuperating in the space. The home-baked scones when we arrived were delicious and communication before and during was incredibly accommodating and gracious. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Walking to the bus was super easy, and when we used Lyft and Uber they were there super quick. Its a quiet neighborhood and a great home as you explore the city. Five thumbs up!

Super nice people Very attentive but discreet. As in the 5 star resort. Perfect for our family with 3 children.

Our vacation in San Francisco was wonderful. Charlesie and Tedd are perfect hosts and were very sweet and helpful with everything. It doesn't matter wheather we wanted to know the best way into the city, the next grocery store or a nice restaurant. The apartment is super nice and looks exactly like in the pictures - very clean, warm and lovely. Charlesie and Tedd were thinking about everything. Thank you so much for a great stay!

We were very warmly received by Charlesie and Ted. The accommodation was identical to the description and the pictures and the neighborhood was very quiet.

Wonderfully updated space, spotless, treats and Charlesie and Tedd's communication was wonderful. Nice neighborhood and convenient walks to several very good local restaurants and Whole Foods. I was able to find convenient parking every night, another bonus in San Fran. Thanks so much Charlesie and Tedd!

We have never felt so at home while on vacation. Charlesie and Tedd were very welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and offered up great recommendations on where to visit and eat. Our only regret was not asking for more scones when we ran out; they were delicious!

The stay was wonderful. The apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated. We had everything we need. The location is very close to all the sights. Many thanks again to Tedd and Charlesie.

We had such a great time in San Francisco. Our stay with Charlesie and Tedd was just perfect. The apartment was ideal for our party of four adults. Lots of space and very comfortable. I slept so well! The apartment has everything you need and there was a few things in the fridge to get us started. And home made cookies and bread! Amazing. We had an issue with a parking ticket and our hosts helped us out with that. We are so grateful. I could not recommended staying here highly enough. We had a car so it was easy to get into the centre of town. It took around 15 minutes because it was close to the freeway. Around the apartment was a few shops and a few restaurants within walking distance. Great place, would definitely recommend and I would stay here again if I was ever in San Francisco.
