Proudly distinct from its southern neighbors, Northern California balances its cutting-edge tech terrain with equally impressive landscapes. San Francisco anchors the region, offering world-class dining, historic neighborhoods brimming with Victorian charm, Art Deco landmarks, and proximity to Napa and Sonoma.
If you’re looking to find the perfect rental in the area, there are a wide range of San Francisco Airbnbs to explore in various pockets of the city. Come home to a well-designed and reputable space after spending hours browsing vinyl records in some of Haight-Ashbury’s legendary music stores, traipsing through Golden Gate Park, or unwinding in a nearby Napa Valley vineyard. From an Art Deco beach house near Ocean Beach to stylish condos with twinkling downtown views, we’ve rounded up our favorite San Francisco Airbnbs below.
