San Francisco has everything from sea lions and prisons to painted ladies and Ghirardelli chocolate.

The almost-constant, perfect weather makes it the ideal city to sneak into a baseball stadium, go for a hike along the Pacific Coast or take advantage of other free uniquely San Francisco activities. And between its robust coffee culture (we're looking at you, Blue Bottle Coffee) and funky Mission District, there are never-ending possibilities of delicious things to discover.

Stay in the Richmond District and you'll find beachy vibes, or head to the Haight area for a glimmer of the hippy culture that once ruled it. Now, with your itinerary filled, it's time to pick out your lodging. These are the most lusted-after listings Airbnb users are putting on their wish lists.

Warm Victorian Hideaway — The Castro

This private room is well-placed in a home that dates back to 1895 and features 12-foot ceilings, all within walking distance to some of San Francisco's hippest neighborhoods. The room is on the smaller side and has a twin daybed, but the spacious shared living space (and super cute resident rescue pup and cat) more than makes up for it.

To rent: airbnb.com, from $79/night

Cozy Garden Retreat — Haight Street Area

Take in the morning sun from a small sitting area and bay window in this one-bedroom suite. The building was first built in 1912 (and you'll still find many of those details like cove ceilings and hardwood floors), but was remodeled in 2012.
