San Francisco Bunk Beds Now Renting for $1,800 a Month

Can’t afford an apartment in San Francisco? So-called “co-creative housing” is offering a bunkbed and lots of company.

 

But is it legal? KPIX 5 wasn’t invited in. The only way to check it out was undercover.

Heidi’s moving into her new digs. KPIX 5 asked her to go into a building in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District undercover to get an unbiased taste of a new kind of rental: It’s a bunkbed that she’s sharing with a stranger in a house with 30 other people.

The Victorian on South Van Ness Avenue doesn’t have a marquee, or any kind of sign. But it’s a hostel, advertised on Airbnb.
