This is my third time staying in Haight-Ashbury and I can say this place is the real Haight experience. Beautiful old victorian architecture, perfect location, with a communal vibe. Food, bars, shops, coffee, head shops, post office, etc. line Haight so you're a few steps from pretty much anything you need. Only 2 blocks from Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park, which you can easily get lost in for days. The house is old as hell and a little funky, so if you're looking for a Holiday Inn, you should probably just book a room there. Be prepared to carry luggage up a couple winding narrow staircases—this is just the norm in Haight (and most of SF, really!) but this room is the very first one on the 2nd floor, so it's not much of a haul. The beds are comfy, the door locks, the in-room sink was such a convenience. Should you be visiting in the summer months, I'd advise propping the windows open to get some airflow. The bathrooms are shared but clean and super unique. The house itself is rad and worth exploring! We weren't able to join other guests in the common area since our stay was so short and we had so much to see and do, but it was never loud. Great space, great location, nice easy check-in and hands-off hosts—our favorites! Stay here and explore Haight-Ashbury from the ideal central location!
