A Beautiful Home Filled with Love - Exceptional Hosts & Stunning Views!
We still feel very fortunate to have found Rui and Sean's place to stay during the last few months in California - the house is located in a very quiet neighbourhood, has incredible views that made working from home an absolute pleasure (you never get tired of the scenery!). The property is very well maintained and equipped with anything you could possibly need - you can truly feel the care and love that Rui and Sean have put into the home! To add to this, Rui and Sean were incredibly kind, responsive and accommodating to us during and after our stay (wrt some mails still sent to previous address) and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.We would highly recommend this place to anyone and would happily stay there again when in California! Thank you, Rui and Sean, again, you made our time in California truly special!

Modern Hillsborough Oasis
This place was great. Fresh remodel and perfect. Owners are so nice and helpful. The view is awesome and in one of the safest areas around. Most comfortable bed I've slept on in a while.

Stay in the hills
As a recent transplant in California, I had a wonderful time staying at this property in the hills. The host family were truly welcoming and helpful during my entire stay. I found the guest part of the property spacious and private with a modern interior style that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The neighborhood was calm and safe, and from the patio you can enjoy unobstructed views of the Peninsula all the way to San Francisco downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
