This is such a great place to visit!! Hostiles are by nature a vulnerable place to stay, depending on the other guests who stay there. I was concerned about rooming with sketchy people, but I needed not be concerned!
The flying backpack attracts great, good-natured, young nomads. There were people from Russia, Italy, New Zealand, Washington State, Dallas, India, and all over. Such fun people to have conversations with!!
It is a beautiful space. Not as clean as I keep my own home, but that's to be expected with lots of people. There are cleaners who come weekly.
The Bishop Arts District and a lovely lake park are about a 5min walk from the hostile, in a safe and lovely neighborhood.
The common spaces are cozy, including outside on the porch! It's such a pleasant, relaxing place. A mixture of fun conversations and alone time and privacy.
I DID forget to bring a wash cloth, and will bring one next time. A towel, pillow, and comforter are provided, but not hand towels or wash cloth.
