This was my first Hostel to stay at. It was overall a nice experience, it's what you expect you have cool people you room with. The kitchen restrooms, showers and kitchen is all shared. Just good luck on finding a spot for any cold items in the refrigerators. The location was very convenient. Expect it to be loud if you're not used to the sirens and the baseball stadium being 2 blocks away. The room was kinds clean, old furniture with stains and the walls had stains on them as well. Clean bathrooms did not use the showers though from the looks of it, fairly clean too. Host was very helpful.
