About the host
Hosted by Christine Hu
Hello, and welcome! My name is Christine, and I'm so excited to have the opportunity to host you at The Deer Vista Condo. I’m originally from Taiwan, but I’ve been lucky enough to call San Francisco home for many years, with a little slice of paradise on Oahu.
I absolutely love traveling, eating delicious food, and exploring new places with my main squeeze, Eddie. When I’m not hosting, you’ll probably find us swimming in Montana’s pristine lakes or playing fetch with our dog in the rivers, or enjoying a good laugh together, Eddie sure knows how to make me LOL! I also work in property management, and it’s been such a rewarding experience helping guests from all over the world feel comfortable and welcome in my spaces.
Being a host is truly special to me because it gives me the chance to create a home where people can relax, recharge, and make lasting memories with their loved ones. My goal is to provide a cozy and inviting space where you’ll feel just like you’re at home. I’m always happy to share tips on the best places to eat, explore, or relax in the area—whether it's finding the perfect spot for dinner or the best park for a peaceful walk.
I’m thrilled to welcome you to The Deer Vista Condo and hope you have a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Hayward Hills because of its peaceful atmosphere, natural beauty, and convenient location. Nestled in a quiet, residential area, this neighborhood offers a perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility—it’s a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, yet just minutes away from everything you need.
One of the things I enjoy most is the breathtaking hillside views and nearby nature trails. Whether it’s a morning walk at Garin Regional Park or a relaxing afternoon at the Hayward Japanese Gardens, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. The area is also home to Cal State East Bay, which brings a vibrant energy to the community.
Beyond the natural beauty, I love how welcoming and safe the neighborhood feels. It’s a great place for families, students, and professionals, with friendly neighbors and a strong sense of community.
Another major advantage is the prime location—this condo offers easy access to the Silicon Valley tech corridor, making it an excellent home base for business travelers and remote workers. It’s within a reasonable drive to major companies like Facebook (Meta), Tesla, Google, and Apple, as well as other key tech hubs in Fremont, Palo Alto, and Mountain View. Plus, with great local restaurants, shopping centers, and easy freeway access, it’s an ideal spot for visitors looking to explore the Bay Area.
Whether you’re here for a short getaway, a visit to the university, or an extended stay, I’m confident you’ll appreciate the comfort, convenience, and charm of Hayward Hills just as much as I do!
