This is a good alternative to a hostel with a bit more privacy, if you’re traveling on a budget. The owners are friendly and accommodating.
There are some strong smells that seem to be a mix of the building’s age and some strong-scented cleaning products, so if you have allergies or scent sensitivity be aware. Be sure to pack your shower shoes too for the shared bathroom facilities.
Otherwise a good and affordable option in an expensive city. I had a great time in San Francisco thanks to my stay here.
