    We had so much fun walking through the neighborhood and enjoying the vibrancy of the Castro, but once you got inside the room, the noise was gone, and it was super quiet, very relaxing, and the view was a lot of fun.

    Really easy to check in and excellent value for staying in SF on last min notice.

    Nice central Castro location, walkable to everywhere. I live around the corner and needed a place to stay during a renovation project. Perfect location central to Castro and a lovely cozy room. The room was fresh and modern. The rooms are small, but efficient use of space. The hotel is nontraditional in that there's no reception, staff or routine housekeeping, so it feels like it's straddling the gap between a short-term-rental and a hotel. But striking the right balance.
