The Red Vic is a unique experience. We stayed for 7 nights in the Redwood Forest room and one night in the Rose Garden. Each has a private bath and each room is equally satisfying. One thing I found interesting it that there wasn't TV's in the rooms. Maybe the hope is that the guests will mingle together in the lounge areas.
It was interesting not only to mix with other AirBnB guests but also the permanent residents. The Haight is a great central SF location. Very colorful and authentic feel. The Red Vic will be my first choice of places to stay when I return to SF.
