The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood is a unique area to stay in the Bay Area — hippie, safe, historic, and seemingly rich with culture. Absolutely loved my bed — extremely comfortable and homey. The curtains provided the right amount of privacy and the bedlamp was also a great touch. Extremely accessible by both train and bus.
Things to think about:
- Some rooms, including mine, was facing the street traffic. If you’re a light sleeper, expect to wear earplugs and an eyemask
- Bathrooms are obviously communal - wasn’t the cleanest, but it worked
Would recommend - just make sure you know what goes in compost (I’m from New York). They’re sticklers about that.
