Prior to arriving, Josh sent a very detailed and clearly written email with all of the instructions, very helpful!

The house is a block away from Haight Street with unlimited options for food and drink. On the other side is Panhandle Park and only a few blocks from Golden Gate Park. Parking can be trying, but that is San Francisco and to be expected.

Room #4 is on the top floor. It does have a sitting area with a sink/counter, table and two chairs. The light was burnt out in this area, so we did not spend much time there after it started to get dark. It would be helpful if the rooms with a counter/sink area had a couple of sets of silverware. I understand the rationale for not supplying silverware with the added maintenance, but it would be a nice addition. The bedroom was roomy and comfortable with one chair. A second chair would be helpful as the bed, which is very comfortable to sleep in is definitely not comfortable to sit and recline against the headboard. There were holes in the walls with cardboard thumbtacked over the holes. And there was a blanket hanging over the wall with the exposed pipes from the bathroom shower & sink.

There is a small community refrigerator and a microwave inside the front door. I guess you can bring home leftovers and store them if there is room. And warm them up in the microwave. There are plastic forks sitting on top of the microwave.

The bathroom is shared with the people on the floor. It works pretty well and everyone works together. With people coming and leaving, there was not anything cleaned in the bathroom for the six nights we were there. I do not know for sure that the bathrooms are cleaned only once a week, but the cleaning crew was there on the Friday we arrived and I did not see them again during the week. I was not there often during the day, so they could have been there. But the small garbage can was full by the end of the week when I left.

Overall, this is a conveniently located room. It doesn't have a lot of frills, but is a safe and comfortable place to sleep and certainly puts you in the middle of the action!
