It was difficult finding something affordable in SF and this location met our needs. It was easy to get to the public bus line a block away and is only a 15 min walk to Golden Gate Park which we loved! The room was sparse but clean and we loved the shower slippers that were waiting for us in the room! I was grateful for the lock on the door since it has more of a hostel feel to it and there were many guests when we were there. You do share a bathroom/shower and the kitchen with everyone. The kitchen is very well stocked but the fridge could use a good purge. The walls are paper thin and you can hear your neighbor which was a problem the first night but the second night was fine. Just a warning: to get into the unit you have to go up about 25 very steep stairs so be aware if you have a lot of luggage.
