It was as advertised. I stayed first in room 4 & then in room 5 & can't tell which one I'm reviewing now so I'll do them both. I lived in the Haight for 25 years, and room 5 was exactly a room in a typical Haight-Ashbury house, except cleaner. It is tiny--there really is not room for more than one person--and it has no place at all to put clothes or anything. Fine with me, I was living out of my suitcase anyway. Room 5 is a good deal in an expensive city. Room 4 was big, pleasant, comfortable, & well lit, with a little sort of kitchen room with a sink (but no refrigerator etc.). Comfortable bed. Overall the house is a lovely Victorian, somewhat battered inside. I did not ever see Josh--never even met him; the lack of social interaction is actually a plus for me. Josh was way helpful and accommodating about some schedule issues for me--thank you, Josh! I'd go back. Do keep in mind that this room is up two steep flights of stairs. Bring a flashlight so you can open the combination lock to get into the room.
