For our trip to San Francisco we decided to stay just outside of the city limits, in the historic town of Larkspur. We found a small creek-side cottage on Airbnb, located in a quiet neighborhood and hidden amongst beautiful redwoods.

There was wifi, gated parking, coffee machine and kitchen, and access to woodland trails a few minutes from the front door. It was a welcome escape from the busy streets of San Francisco!

It's a surreal experience to have giant trees and woodland trails right outside your front door. There were even oranges growing in the back!

Downsides

- Though there is wifi inside the cottage, cell phone signal is hard to come by in the shadow of the redwoods.

- There's no TV (a great opportunity to reconnect with nature though ;)
