The neighborhood:
Two blocks from 16th & Mission BART, we're near hundreds of fantastic restaurants, Mission nightlife and arts scene. Its easy to get around the city from here too, with downtown/Union Square/Moscone, the ferry building and the airport (SFO or OAK) just an easy BART ride away. We're happy to point you in the direction of just about anything you want from events to the best food to the best Art Deco movie theaters. We've got a realtime transit arrival display in our ktchen - so you'll figure out where to go. You can also just relax in our huge, quirky space with couches, fast wifi, and friendly people.

The Room:
The guest room has a full sized bed. For an additional $35/person we can accommodate a third or fourth person in a smaller adjacent capsule (think enclosed bunk bed). Message us for details, we can often rearrange things to accommodate you.

About us:
Currently in our warehouse we have a transportation engineer, an artificial intelligence PhD student, a surgeon, a biologist, a professional bassoonist, a YC startup, an Apple employee, a computer hardware geek, two Swedish web interface designers, and a start-up specializing in web services for transit agencies.

  • This is the perfect place to stay for a couple of days. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The space was inspiring. The bed was comfy and the location was perfect for my trip.

  • Incredibly dynamic space, and equally dynamic people. Whether you're in town for a couple days or a couple weeks, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

  • This is a really great place to stay. The location is fantastic, the people are fun and Laura and her housemates were tremendously generous in lending us their bikes. The room is not very big and there is no window onto the outside but I would highly recommend it.

  • Everyone in the space turned out to be just peachy. Even helping me dispose of an abominably large burrito in the wee hours of the morning. Good for a short stay -- wouldn't want this for an extended stay as your personal space (bedroom/bathrooms) are a little tight. Overall a good experience though. GREAT wifi.

    Friendly house share, was apparently quite quiet while we were there but still we thought it was a good place to be! Steve was very welcoming and had great recommendations for food in the area (perfect when you've just got off a plane and are STARVING!) Comfy and accommodating and close to the BART and buses to get around town. Plus they had ALL the wifi for keeping in contact with friends (or relaxing and faffing online) at the end of a hard day's wander round the city.

  • This was a great place to stay for a week--there are plenty of interesting people around when you want to have a chat, but there's plenty of space to find privacy when you don't. The location is great, and all the roommates are friendly.

  • This was such a wonderful place to stay. The people were great and the place was....well there are no words but amazing. Definitely recommend to others.

  • Awesome space. These guys built this space out to their exact (bizarre) specifications. It's got great spaces to hang out and a really nice workspace that they let me use. There were always interesting people from all over the world hanging around. I talked to a ppl from Hyderabad, Poland, NYC, Romania and of course the Bay Area. If you're looking for luxury, this place would be a bad fit. But the bed was very comfortable and the showers were hot. I'll definitely be back.

  • This is a very laid back and entertaining place to stay. Most of the residents are quite friendly and welcoming and there's generally someone around hanging out. Leaving and returning at all hours is perfectly ok. It's nice to stay in such a big place where you don't feel like you're waking your host if you want to go out for a 3 am walk. They will loan you a bike! The only things to prepare for: 1) The room I was staying in, and I assume the other rooms as well, wasn't too well insulated and when the door was closed it was cut off from the heating of the rest of the place. So, in the winter, bring a sweatshirt to sleep in. 2) There are two bathrooms in the place, but lots of people. If you're on a schedule in the morning make sure to leave yourself some extra time. In fact, most days I camped out on one of the couches in the main area with my laptop to make sure I could snap up the bathroom as soon as it opened up. 3) The pinball game has a main power switch on the bottom of the machine near the front. This is important to satisfying your pinball needs!

  • I really enjoyed my time in San Francisco. The house was clean and quiet.
