Staying at Josh's place in Haight-Ashbury was smooth and convenient. The location is in a very historically significant area in SF, you need to read up about it before you go - for fun!

We had Room 3, located on the 3rd floor. The house is set up with multiple individual rooms that are locked via keypad which I thought was pretty cool and easy. The place has a very communal feel like something in Europe similar to a hostel but with enough privacy. You might run into a few other travellers in the hallways, the one's we met were very friendly.

While we didn't have a chance to meet Josh, his communication was straight-forward and thorough - no fluff.

If you're planning on checking this place out I would advise NOT having a rental car, you don't need one because the transit is pretty great and parking is tricky to put it lightly. We had our rental for 2 additional nights and after taking it out for the day finding a spot at night was tough - granted we were there on Memorial Day weekend.

The area is interesting, the hippy vibe is still alive with some of the remnants of the golden era still lingering and some not some much. There's lots of bars and restaurants but a quick walk up Cole St. will get you some nice spots including an authentic Mexican restaurant, a Crepe Restaurant, Italian at Bambino's and most importantly a 50's style inspired Ice Cream bar.
