Location, location, location. The house is a hop, skip and a jump from the legendary Haight street. If that's where you want to hang out, this should be your inexpensive flop house! You'll be in the middle of the action.
Be prepared to climb steep narrow steps to get in the house and up to your room. Not a big deal for me, but if you have trouble with stairs, find another place to stay.
Pro-tip: There's a bathroom on the top floor which i found to be a bit nicer than the one below, but you'll have to wait your turn.
