"The house is comfortable with great views of the ocean. Fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Very clean. The only was the beds are a bit hard for our liking and the parking garage is a very tight fit if you are a mid-size or larger vehicle. You may have to park on the street, which is not a big deal. Overall a nice place to stay. Will stay there again."

"Ruben and Roc were fantastic hosts. We had a few special requests and they were very accommodating. They were always available with anything we needed and we appreciated their flexibility. The apartment was all you see in the pictures and more. We were only there for three nights, on-the-go much of the time, and only two of us, so we didn't need anything too big, yet many of the places I looked at were the size of a hotel room or an actual hotel room. We love having a space with a kitchen and...

"We normally celebrate out anniversaries on the North Coast but for our 40th, we opted for a redwoods retreat closer to home. Wow, did we score. The Cottage in the Woods is a perfect getaway for two. The Cottage looks like new, is very well appointed and stocked with items you seldom see in a vacation rental. The location, right beside La Honda Creek is lovely. The creek provides all of the white noise you need and the breeze through the redwoods and pine is soothing. In all, a great place to...

"Stayed with family for competition at events center. Conveniently located. Easy to get to center. Quiet safe neighborhood, beautiful home, layout was great for us, but might be a challenge for families with small kids due to 3rd room in basement and separate unit sort of but that is great for families with teens or multiple families. Close to mall and restaurants but still quiet. I was able to run to Bay Trail (about 4 miles away) which is beautiful but if you don’t want to run there it is a...

"When we first got to property I wasn’t too sure if we were in the right place. We arrived late at night and it took some time to find the side path to the studio, but once we found it and went in it was just as the pictures show, so cute and cozy and the owner let us an apple pie which was an amazing surprise. I was there to pick up my daughter from her first year at CAL and it was close to her dorm. I will definitely be staying there again when we move her back I the fall."

"The property was as described in the posting. The communication was great. The hosts made sure to guide me through everything we needed for our stay and responded quickly to any questions. The area was safe and quiet. It is about 30 mins away from downtown San Francisco. I will say that the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner as there was hair and old bars of soap left behind. And also the parking lot can be hard to navigate if you have a larger vehicle. Additionally, in the event you are a...

"First let me say, we had a great time at this property. This is a small house in the city. Great location. We could walk to restaurants and play pickleball at the playground next store. It had three good size bedrooms, with super comfy beds. Only one real bathroom and shower, as the second bathroom was tiny and only had a toilet. But we managed to make it work, once we figured out how to get the hot water. I finally broke down on the second day and messaged the host, and he responded very...
