This is essentially a hostel with a range of guests from around the world of all ages and walks of life. I had a great experience. It can be a challenge sharing the space if you're sensitive to snoring/sound (as with any hostel). The neighborhood is very quiet, easy walking distance to great views and hiking up the hill, less than 15 minutes walk to SouthSF Bart transit, Starbucks, Trader Joe's grocery and Costco. It was easy to work in the common areas and there's a high school track at the end of the block for running/walking as well.
