About the host
Hosted by Beethoven Yuson
Hello from the SF Bay Area! I'm Beethoven, and I've always been passionate about guest experiences—especially since I love to travel! When the chance to host came along, I jumped at it without a second thought. Living in Castro Valley has given me a deep appreciation for this hidden gem between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
Our quiet neighborhood offers the perfect escape while keeping you connected to everything the Bay Area provides. I converted part of my home into a private guest suite because everyone deserves a comfortable, welcoming place to stay. From business travelers needing a quiet workspace to families traveling with their beloved pets, I've designed this space with you in mind.
