This is more like a hotel/hostel than a private home. Location is great and convenient. The outside noise can be a little loud at times but it was all part of the experience. Although the building itself is very old, the common spaces (kitchen, lounge area) seemed fairly newly renovated. The elevator was something I’ve never seen before but it added a nice touch to the place; you have to hold the doors open yourself and can be difficult if you have suitcases. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here and made my trip to San Francisco very enjoyable.
