Honestly I was super nervous staying in a hostel, being as it was my first time. But the Lincoln Hostel was much better than I had expected. People were friendly and helpful. My room was nice, yes you can hear everything but it didn’t bother me at all. Also it does get cold at night during this time so the room was a bit chilly for me personally. I felt like I was centrally located from everything, taking about 10-15 mins to where ever I needed to go. Even to San Francisco with traffic it was about 30-40 mins which was no bother either. Overall the hostel was better than I planned and I definitely would stay again
