My friend and I had a great experience in San Francisco and staying at the Haight Ashbury Experience was a part of that. The room was bigger than I was imagining and really clean. Definitely a great value.
The location is really nice, very close to Golden Gate Park which is huge and has so much to visit. My friend and I went to see the de Young museum of art, which is pretty cheap for students at least and has a really nice collection.
We also found a great coffee place nearby called Flywheel Coffee Roasters. Highly recommend.
One thing to be aware of if your working with tight schedules is that the bathrooms are shared, so we had to wait a little bit to start our days because someone was usually in the shower at 7am.
We didn't get to meet josh, bust he's obviously figured out how to run the place to be a pleasant experience.
