Convenient Stay

Liked:-Washrooms and shower rooms were clean -Comfortable common area on the second floor -Luggage storage available before and after check-in -Friendly and helpful front desk staff
Disliked:Convenient location to access public transit and Trader Joe's, however, the location is pretty close to Tenderloin area. When returning to the hostel at night, I recommend avoiding taking O'Farrell St., ,especially solo female travellers, I've seen multiple crackheads. Take Mason St. instead.
