This is a well-situated hostel easy walking distance to interesting shops, delicious ethnic restaurants, and the east side of Golden Gate Park where you can visit museums, walk around or rent bicycles, bike wagons, scooters or skateboards. It’s very secure, has a full kitchen for your use & a nice community area for eating with others or just chatting people up. We rented here the weekend of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, & appreciated how close the hostel is to the park. Also, there’s a bus-line that runs all along Haight Street. We would definitely feel comfortable returning to this quirky place!
