The Red Victorian (specifically Flower Child) is a bare bone, no fluff accommodation in the heart of Haight & Ashbury. It's authentic in that it feels like a victorian San Francisco home. With that, know that everything feels a little dim and grungy. When we entered the room, there was a terrible odor - so much so that we aired out the space by blasting a fan and propping open the broken window for a few hours. Also know that the bottom mattress is sitting atop a dirty rug on the ground and the top mattress is just below the ceiling with no railing. The beds and sheets itself were very comfortable.
We didn't run into many people during our two nights there, but those we did chat to were friendly and welcoming. I think this place could be fitting for a quick stay to explore the neighborhoods and Golden Gate Park nearby.
