Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Stay with me – the co-founder of Airbnb and its first Host. Back in the day, my roommate Joe and I blew up some air mattresses and welcomed three guests – Michael, Kat, and Amol. This time, I’ve upgraded from airbeds to a guest suite in my home. You’ll spend time with me and Sophie, my golden retriever, as I share stories from the early days – or you can relax in your suite, decorated with some of my favorite pieces of Airbnb history.

The space
A thoughtfully designed suite featuring personal photos and artifacts from the early days of Airbnb. This light-filled corner bedroom has North and West-facing windows and a panoramic view of the Castro neighborhood. The room also includes an armchair to relax in, a desk to get some work done, two roomy closets, and a comfy queen bed featuring a real mattress — a big upgrade from the first airbed we bought in 2008.

When you stay here, you’ll have access to a full bathroom with a large shower. You can also head upstairs to use the spacious chef’s kitchen or hang out in the sunny living room with floor-to-ceiling windows.

My home is near the Mission, Castro, and Noe Valley neighborhoods with plenty of great boutiques, restaurants, and coffee shops. You’ll be just a short walk from beautiful Dolores Park, Bi-Rite ice cream, and the world famous Tartine bakery for fresh bread and pastries.

Also, guests must love dogs. Or at least Sophie.
