Overall the stay was great! It’s located in a peaceful neighborhood near 101, easy to get around to places. Beware though that the place is shared with 4 other people. I would come back around 8 every night and would have to find street parking a couple houses down, and it was especially hard to find on trash days. Some days would also be noisy depending on the other guests. One night past midnight one of the guests dragged something big and heavy across the hallway and woke me up. Another night there was a loud consistent thumping noise until almost midnight. Would recommend ear plugs just in case. I never got to use the kitchen because it was always taken during meal times. The refrigerator also had things probably leftover from the previous guest.

If you’re looking for a private and peaceful place this is the place to be… Hidden in the forest of Los Gatos you get to feel the nature surrounding this property. The house is very clean and cozy. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Emma’s place is very nice—clean, tidy, and located in a safe and convenient neighborhood. The only issue is that the bed makes some noise when turning over, and I hope this can be improved.

Emma’s Airbnb is the gold standard for what every listing should aspire to be. An absolute gem that checks every box and then some. 1. Prime, safe location in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with plenty of prime shopping nearby. Perfect for unwinding after a long day. 2. Impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed space. Excellent kitchen with all amenities for healthy cooking. 3. Emma is exceptionally responsive and genuinely cares about your comfort. 4. Competitively priced for the level of quality and comfort provided. 5. Ideal for business travelers, short or long term. 6. The guests Emma attracts are equally thoughtful and respectful which adds to the overall serene atmosphere. I would love to gatekeep but it wouldn’t be fair. This beautiful home is my first choice when traveling for business. I cannot recommend Emma’s Airbnb highly enough.

Great place and a wonderful host. Unfortunately, I had to check out early due to a personal issue, which was no fault of the host at all. They were very understanding, responsive, and helpful throughout. I truly appreciated their kindness and would absolutely recommend staying here.

Very clean house and fair pricing for room rental. House had all essential amenities. Easy access to most things. Would recommend to others as long as you don’t mind other house mates which can change at any given time. The house has 4 bedrooms and each are rented to individual guests. I was lucky that everyone during my stay was respectful of the common areas. House cleaners came twice a week to tidy up and restocked on essentials.

Very nice home, clean and well equipped. Emma is very responsive. I highly recommend Emma’s place. I will be happy to book the room again when I’m back to SFO.
