As mentioned in many previous reviews the location is fantastic. The building looks like it was an old rooming house that's been renovated. The hallways are not fancy in the least and the room was very simple/basic, but clean and close to the BART (subway), the beginning of one of the streetcar lines, lots of shops and restaurants. It's located in a good area where we felt very safe as it's so bustling with pedestrians (although you don't have to walk too many blocks and you're in a sketchier area called the Tenderloin district.) We were able to walk to AT&T Park and the Fisherman's Wharf area in around 30 minutes (opposite directions). Lyftt was also an inexpensive way to get around. I'm a light sleeper and bothered by noise and light, but the curtains kept the room dark. And with the room being at the back of the building I didn't hear much street sound at all, even though it's in a busy area with lots going on. The restaurant next door is fantastic and make sure you let them know you're staying at the Bunkhouse for a 10% discount.
