If you resonate with the vibe of the Haight you will feel right at home at the Red Vic. If you are looking to dip your toes in to find out if you resonate with the community this is a safe place to make those discoveries. This is not a typical family home, it’s not a sterile corporate planned housing environment, nor a typical Hostel ... this is a space for the cultural creatives and intellectuals looking for signs of life outside of mainstream objectives. It’s an experiment, successful by all appearances, in communal living and artistically inspired environments. Not polished displayed art for passive viewing, rather living active transformational art filled with opportunity for lively discussion, creative stimulation and active participation. I have no doubt that I shall return for another opportunity to explore the city and connect further with the Red Vic community. I had an active schedule during my stay tho I created a list of things to include next trip including the salon style discussions hosted regularly at the Red Vic.
