The Best Airbnbs Near the Golden Gate Bridge

As far as world-famous bridges go, you can’t get more photogenic than the Golden Gate Bridge. Encompassing such neighborhoods as Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, Richmond, Sea Cliff, and the Marina, Districts 1 and 2 of San Francisco are closest to Golden State’s beguiling landmark. Views aren’t always a guarantee due to the SF fog – a phenomenon almost as iconic as the bridge – but staying closeby to the park means more time on the trails, less in gridlock. If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to book one of these Airbnbs near the Golden Gate Bridge.
