This was a great location, but note that you'd need a few items to make your stay comfortable. Should definitely bring some sleep masks as there was no black-out curtains. There was plenty of light seeping through both during the morning and at night (if the lights in the courtyard were on). If noises bother you, should also bring earplugs as you may be awakened by people walking in the hallway at night. Otherwise, it was a very quite room, and you could not hear street noises. Additionally, there is no heating for the entire room (they did provide a small space heater), so you may need to bundle up with layers if you get cold easily. We didn't really use the common spaces, but it seems like other guests definitely liked it. Some pleasant notes included being able to grab clean towels whenever we wanted (which was critical as they don't always dry overnight in the SF weather + no heating). We also used a towel to stuff the gap at the bottom of the door at night to reduce the noise level. Additionally, there also seemed to be a maid service that would make your bed in the morning, even though this is not listed. Although the bed was only done so 3 out of the 6 days I was there, so not sure if it's an everyday thing. Note that this is more like a motel+hostel/bed+breakfast situation. I thought it was slightly expensive for what you get, but this is SF, so it's hard to judge.
