Definitely stay here if you want the real San Fran experience! Really cool interesting place to stay, fits in well with the quirkiness of San Francisco. No way to lock your door though but we had no issues with that everyone seemed respectful and to themselves in the house. We had an issue with our room and Zarinah more than accommodated us AND gave us a very generous discount. Overall we had an awesome time, however, If you arent one with an open mind and arent ready to emerge yourself into a different way of living for a couple days I'd stay at a more hotel-like place. It was closer to a hostel than a hotel. Id bring your own sheets also, we ended up buying some because they smelt kind of funky, looked super clean though.
