    Great small boutique style hotel in an ideal location. The rooms are small but very thoughtfully and efficiently designed to maximize the space, there’s even a balcony for enjoying the outdoors or people watching. The 2 rooftop spaces are amazing and offer beautiful owes of the city. There’s also a comfortable outdoor sectional with a fire pit table for evening relaxing. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.

    Great find in the Castro Very sweet spot in the middle of the Castro. Clean and modern. Great shower, great views, great location. Very safe. Very quiet. Staff is great. Ryan met us as we arrived and made sure everything was ok. The only place I will stay when I'm in SF. Perfect. Thank you.

    This place is beyond fabulous. The rooms are immaculate, newly renovated, wall to ceiling glass, our own little balcony and very comfortable. Google nest helped to create the perfect mood with my favorite tunes. The roof has a fire pit and sectional sofa with sweeping views of the Castro, Sutro Tower, downtown and all the surrounding neighborhoods. Can’t wait to stay there again! And a special thanks to Ryan for greeting us at the door and helping us to our room. This place is a true gem.
