My stay at the Red Victorian ended up being just what I needed. I stayed here once before. As always, meeting so many people from other places makes staying here very interesting. I have met other guests from many countries, and even from the Arctic circle.
Walking around Haight street is always fun and interesting. It is also a short walk to the beginning of Golden Gate Park. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and shops on Haight street. This is also a fairly central location to see the rest of San Francisco.
I have stayed in three other hostel/shared spaces in San Francisco and the Red Vic just has more of a unique character and community feel. Definitely hope to stay again.
