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.

Gay friendly :)

  • Although we didn't meet Laura in person, the room was great, showers were hot, the people were friendly and helpful. 2 blocks from the BART! Stay here!

  • We had a great two week stay here with Steve, Laura, and everyone else! They have everything you need as far as toiletries, towels, entertainment, snacks, and drinks go. Laura is a great baker, and Steve knows pretty much everything about anything. The movie theater rocks, and the pinball machine is crazy addictive. We just moved to SF and this place was a great location as far as getting around the city goes (they also have a bunch of community bicycles for guests to use). There are tons of great restaurants nearby too. Thanks for a great stay and hope to visit soon! Watson & April

  • I loved this space. Everyone was super friendly. Steve was always around and gave you tips on where to go around town for whatever need i had. Joakim was just super friendly, same with Laura. My room was clean, my sheets and blankets were clean. When it got a little chilly i was given extra blankets. I loved the Movie Theatre that Steve built. Everything was as advertised. and the location was near the bart and muni. Easy to get around. I felt like i lived there.

  • Awesome place! Has tons of cool stuff - ex. pinball, table tennis, co-working area and a bar! Excellent place for entrepreneurs visiting SV.

  • The place was great- good vibe, quiet when I was there, and the bed was really comfortable. People were friendly, and it was in a good central location - couple blocks from BART and near lots of bus lines. The room did get rather chilly, so you might want to pack slippers or some such.

    This place is clean! (In addition to being funky, fun, cool, friendly, welcoming, etc). Allay your fears about communal warehouse living: this is one tidy tribe. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Good vibes make all the difference. (We met someone who loved it so much he became a permanent resident after visiting through airbnb.) It was a sleepy holiday weekend when we stayed there, so not much was going on socially, but we were thrilled to have free bicycles to borrow and a prime location to set out from to explore the Mission, Castro, Haight, GG Park, etc. (saving on the cost and hassle of bike rental alone made this a better deal than cushier houses in the area) My only caveat: our room in the back upper floor (with a lovely skylight) was very cold (in February). We had two comforters on our (cushy cushy) bed, but we had to wear socks and sweaters to bed. Maybe we were too wimpy, but best to be prepared. The rest of the place was blazingly cozy.

  • This is a great place! Really neat.

    Very interesting place to stay. Walking distance to buses and train. I didn't get to meet Laura but everyone at the apartment was friendly and helpful. Was given a tour of the place on my arrival offered a beer/soda. Would love to stay here again.

    Super cool place to stay! Flexible, easy, you can make yourself right at home. Lots of interesting people coming and going.

  • Exactly as described. Perfect if you're looking for some unique randomness on your trip. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Wish I could've hung out more. Can't beat the location. Thanks y'all.
