We were a little nervous about staying in a shared house but this is more like a bed and breakfast (minus the breakfast) very private and exceptionally clean. My husband and I stayed with our 15 year old son in the Modern Room and it was roomy and comfortable. Location was perfect and an easy 3 min walk to muni stop.
Parking was easy and plentiful except on Sunday, there is a church near by that uses the street for parking and they fill up the street all day. Our stay was on the weekend and we were glad we didn’t need to move our car or we would have lost our parking spot. Parking is also limited to two hours during the week day so you may need a parking pass to leave your car all day during the week.
Helen had a Keurig coffee maker in the main kitchen but there are local breakfast places that deliver if you plan ahead. We ordered delicious brunch to-go from Lucho’s near by and ate it in our room on the table Helen provides.
If you are looking for a comfortable, safe location in the city that is quiet and not overrun by homeless this is an excellent option.
