The room was super clean, roomy, with a comfortable bed and pillows. Because there are big trees right outside the windows, the room was a bit dark—little natural light.
The bathroom was clean and fine.
The kitchen was adequate. Well stocked with supplies and utensils.
My only disappointment was there was no pleasant place to eat, or sit and talk with the other roomers. No chairs in the front or backyard. No living room and no real dining room —just a table and 2 chairs surrounded by boxes from floor to ceiling, and stuff (there was no evidence of a remodeling going on, as stated).
(Unlike many guests, I brought food for my meals since my stay for 2 nights was because my house nearby was being fumigated. Most guests probably eat out mostly, given all the restaurants a few blocks away in Castro Street.)
Everything in this house was very old and looked run down, but everything was functional and clean.
Jim was eager to please and make his guests comfortable.
You can’t beat the location.
An ok place to sleep, but not inviting to hang out and relax.
