Accommodations:
Hotels
Most of us are going to be staying at The Mosser.
The Mosser is a centrally located Hotel about a 20 minute walk from the Endless offices. Rooms are small and shared bathrooms on each floor. $119 during hackfest
Hotel Stratford is about a 25 minute walk from the Endless offices. Rooms are minimal and with a private bath. $129-149 during hackfest
AirBnb: listings of community sourced living spaces. Some of these are shared (an extra bedroom in someone's apartment), others offer their studio apartments for rent. You can filter by price range, and check out the SOMA neighborhood.
San Remo: for the cost-conscious, it has shared bathrooms and small rooms, but you can often stay the night for under $90. It's in North Beach near Fisherman's Wharf, which is nice for tourism, but not particularly close to Endless' offices.
Muni: The office is about a 10 minute walk from the New Montgomery station MUNI stop, so anything with access to MUNI will generally work. (I think you could also take a bus to the front door, but usually longer to wait than walk).
