Ask HN: An inexpensive way to stay in the Bay Area for a week or two?

8 pointsby yrashk15 anni fa7 comments

I am considering driving down to the Bay Area next week for a week or two for some intensified networking and meetings; being on a very tight budget, can't really afford conventional accommodation options. Any reasonable hacks for staying somewhere around the Bay Area for cheap? :)

There's always camping:

Do you have any social network contact here? Plus, where are most of your meetings? Peninsula or the city?

Try airbnb.com if you haven't already :).

Youth hostels.

Depending on age a youth hostel might not be an option. The ones I stayed in when I was in Europe wouldn't let anybody over 30(25 in some cases) stay.

I'm currently in the same boat as you - staying at an EconoLodge near Oakland airport... Couchsurfing would be great it you're willing to relocate a few times during the trip - unless you find an awesome host (!), and AirBnB is actually more expensive than this hotel for a week...

The short term market here is pretty under-served actually - especially since there are probably plenty of people in our situation.
