I would definitely recommend this place for a solo traveller. Although the property is shared, the 2 private rooms are ample, spacious and comfortable. Jefferson and Gary are incredibly accommodating and helpful. The flat is creatively and eccentrically furnished which makes a very welcome change, with thoughtful details such as fresh flowers and a huge pile of books about SF. Above all else, the location is ideal - it's really in the best spot for both dining and exploring the city. An easy 5 stars!
