The Red Victorian is a very unique place to stay in SF. It's located in a great part of the Haight-Ashbury area, close to loads of fun shops and restaurants. My husband particularly enjoyed the pour-over coffee from the grocery store just a block away. As long as you don't mind the hostel-style with shared spaces, shared bathrooms, and occasional hallway noise, this place is fun. We also appreciated the secure bag storage they offer along with the secure front door. It was quiet when we were there, we didn't see any other guests and there were no events. We would stay again for sure. We only had one issue with the sink not working in our room. We brought it up with the host, but were only told they would "try" to get someone to look at it. It remained unusable during our stay. The bed and the room were comfortable, with lots of bright light and a nice street view.
