Matthew was an awesome host! He set us up with everything we needed to enjoy our week long stay, and we utilized the majority of recommendations he had for places to see and eat. The listing is exactly as described - definitely the "nicest hostel you've ever stayed in". The other living areas were all booked while we were there, so there was always a good amount of people sharing the flat. We didn't mind this since we were all generally out and about, and even so - everyone was always courteous and friendly. There were three of us sharing the SURF room so we made use of the extra airbed and storage cubbies, and our stay was comfortable. It was nice that the carpets had been freshly steam-cleaned the day we arrived, and the bathrooms were kept clean even with all of the guests.

We absolutely loved the neighbourhood and being so close to the ocean. It’s pretty quiet, but close to some great places to eat (we especially enjoyed Judahlicious and Devil’s Teeth) and a short walk from the muni line. I only wished we made use of the bikes Matt has to rent to tour SF! Would recommend and would stay again!
