I've been to the Red Vic a few times and it is now my go to place for SF visits. Well located with transit super close, bike rentals within 100 feet of the door. Cole Valley, Golden Gate Park, Haight stores... All at your doorstep. Plus you get to stay with a friendly group of people who will often invite you to join dinner. If you want your own space or a shared room, the Red Vic has it all.... Plus lots of yummy organic food!
