These Are San Francisco's Most Wish-listed Airbnbs
San Francisco has everything from sea lions and prisons to painted ladies and Ghirardelli chocolate.
The almost-constant, perfect weather makes it the ideal city to sneak into a baseball stadium, go for a hike along the Pacific Coast or take advantage of other free uniquely San Francisco activities. And between its robust coffee culture (we’re looking at you, Blue Bottle Coffee) and funky Mission District, there are never-ending possibilities of delicious things to discover.
Stay in the Richmond District and you’ll find beachy vibes, or head to the Haight area for a glimmer of the hippy culture that once ruled it. Now, with your itinerary filled, it's time to pick out your lodging. These are the most lusted-after listings Airbnb users are putting on their wish lists.
Warm Victorian Hideaway — The Castro
This private room is well-placed in a home that dates back to 1895 and features 12-foot ceilings, all within walking distance to some of San Francisco’s hippest neighborhoods. The room is on the smaller side and has a twin daybed, but the spacious shared living space (and super cute resident rescue pup and cat) more than makes up for it.

Cozy Garden Retreat — Haight Street Area
This one-bedroom apartment in an Edwardian-style home is airy and bright, with a warm fireplace in the living room and a view onto a green and serene garden. And the home’s location just steps from Haight Street means you’ll never lack for great restaurant options.
