It's a great group. The neighborhood is safe and my family will make sure you are taken care of no matter what. San Francisco is my home. It's the type of place where you walk around at 3am and people just want to help.

At least my mini fridge worked

Less than bare minimum for a hotel room! The room was 90 with no AC while it was 60 degrees outside. There was a single usable outlet for the whole room, the cracked window opened but no screen so bugs would fly in if you choose to open it to try to cool your room off, there's a TV but no reception, a sink but only a community bathroom, barking dogs from down the hall despite the no pet policy, the hotel number doesn't work so don't waste your time trying to call, homeless people craping feet from the front door!
