The Red Victorian is the best AirBnB or hostel I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in *a lot*. It's a huge, historic building, with what feels like secret staircases leading up to multiple floors filled with elegantly-named rooms, each of which is differently decorated. The beds are very comfortable and provided with cozy duvets and fluffy pillows; I slept like a log every night.
The walls are hung with Bohemian art and sculpture, and the place feels very alive and welcoming. The wifi is fast, reliable, and has good signal everywhere inside.
There is an industrial-strength kitchen with three separate refrigerators -- one for private food, two for public. You're welcome to eat anything that isn't in the private fridge, and the RV provides a lot of staples. (Eggs, bread, milk, produce....)
The people here were a delight -- friendly, funny, and informative about the neighborhood.
The place is located in the Haight, the neighborhood that was best known as the heart of hippiedom back in the day and is now known as the home of cool bits of weirdness, like stores that sell traditional Nepalese goods, book stores with decidedly unusual inventories, and ice cream shops with weird flavors that you won't find elsewhere.
The next time I'm in San Francisco, I will definitely stay here.
