My friend and I stayed in room 3 for one night and room 1 for the rest of the week. Both rooms were as represented in the photos and descriptions in the listings. Room 1 is quite spacious and now contains a single and a double bed, and Josh brought in a table and 2 chairs in response to my inquiry about seating. (Room 1 also has a desk.) The wireless is now working, which was helpful.

The area does have some characters milling around, but they seem harmless and we never felt unsafe (even when getting back after midnight). The place is a couple of blocks from the #6 and #71 bus stops, and we discovered the N metro stop nearby on our last night which also can be an option to/from downtown. There are plenty of eating options and cafes nearby, and a grocer in each direction along Haight (including a Whole Foods across from Golden Gate Park).

Josh was responsive to our emails and was glad to help where he could. Aside from a few minor inconveniences from sharing a washroom (e.g. running out of toilet paper), it was a pleasure to stay with Josh!
