AirB&B

Hands down one of the best Airbnb spots in SF is where Airbnb employees stay (there's a clue for you) is a short - and FLAT - walk from our studios. An AVG of $200 per night, owner Kepa A. manages a cluster of 4 apartment inside an awesome enclosed, off-street garden. You can choose from the Garden Suite, Garden Getaway, Lookout, or Cabana - all meet strong standards yet have unique personality. One thing to note is the compound is not kid-friendly as Kepa focuses on business visitors. Airbnb even did a great spotlight on Kepa and her bungalows! You can watch it HERE.

Other Airbnb properties in the Potrero Hill area that folks enjoy - and are priced competitively: a funky, yet fun and super central art apartment close to the neighborhood restaurants and market on 18th. A new private garden-in-law listing (as of Nov 2017) is promising. An easy walk from Dogpatch neighborhood is a well-reviewed luxury condo (@$250/night). Also Dai has a great little modern flat on the north slope of Potrero Hill thats one bedroom and one bathroom with a backyard and a BBQ! There is also a cute studio that has a full kitchen and washer/dryer and its conveniently located above the Whole Foods (which is across from the studios!).

Parking

Parking can be fickle, please allow time to find an all-day spot (you will not have time to move it during breaks). Luckily, there is a parking garage one block away at 350 Rhode Island St. It opens to the public at 7a.m. and is $12 for all day.
