Can’t overstate what an incredible value this room was! I found it to be sparkling clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured. A cleaning crew comes in daily to tidy up the bathrooms and common area. Only had one issue during my nearly four week stay, and it received an immediate response from the host.
Contrary to some of the other reviews, I really enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. I highly recommend checking out Hasta Muerte for coffee and Las Palmas for their burritos, both just a few blocks from this hostel. I also took the 21 & 62 AC transit bus lines to the Fruitvale Bart station and never felt unsafe.
All around this was a great stay. You cannot find a better deal in the Bay Area. Thanks again!
