Wonderful

The hostel is near the Powell St station which is convenient to go to different part of the city. It is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I’m trying to cancel my stay as I’m still at the airport in a different city and the payment I utilized might be a scam from the company I applied for the credit from. Key One (master card). I continue to call to the bank and they just transfer me but I believe they continue to gamble for something is already lost.

Quiet, cheap, clean hostel with good staff. Just gotta fix the elevator. Good kitchen and laundry. Comfortable bed but creaky springs every time you roll over. A convenient location for transport around the city. One block from Union Square. I would stay here again.
ps: Lime scooters won’t make it up the hill.
