It was my first time in SF and I wanted an affordable place to stay. Let me first say that it was a good place and worth the money with a couple minor issues.

One was the pillow for the bed was extremely small and made my neck hurt. I know he said he was going to buy one so this may be obsolete soon anyway.

Two it did get chilly at night being in the Haight. Not sure if he has heat or not but I used all the covers for the bed and was warm in the bed, but getting out of the bed was chilling.

Other than those two things it was great. Josh is remodeling the house so some things are out of place but all in all it was a neat place. The Haight is a decent location, I never felt spooked or worried about being in danger. The bus stop is an easy walk up the road and you can take 71 or 6 and go right downtown in about 20 minutes. If you're looking for luxury this may not be your place but if you don't mind the basics this is perfect.
