Zarinah is a wonderful host who thinks of every step you might need beforehand. Red Victorian is not your typical hostel. It is a community place with extremely stylish touches and a stimulating atmosphere. It is one of the most authentic places to stay in. Also consider that it is situated in one of the best locations in SF.
I shared a room with 3 people and they were very polite and respectful. They were also full of life. My stay was just a delight and I am happy to visit Zarinah's Red Victorian multiple times in the future.
