I have no regrets after staying 3 nights. Luxurious? No, but perfectly fine. Great staff. Enjoyed porch, deck. Super location
Annabelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay for not too picky travellers
A decent stay if you are not expecting too much. Place is pretty small and can feel packed, but if you can settle yourself in, it's a okay place to spend few nights. The area itself is not exactly great as there are many homeless in there. Hostel felt safe even with the area not being the best.

Wonderful people running the place and a very welcome environment. From the moment I stepped in I was immediately greeted by everyone and felt like I’d know them for weeks. 10/10 would go again

10/10 Exceptional

Good value location
Good value for an excellent location. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to sleep, with a fully equipped kitchen and a great communal space. As long as you don't mind sharing a room, bathroom, etc. Helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay.

I really liked the vibe of the place, the people over there and how they maintain it.
Gaurav, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room is in the basement and the ceiling is low , so we can hear noise from people on the main floor. As the house is too old, the price of this room should be reduced in the range of $55 to $65 max. The staff is ok
