New friends and best location

Liked: I've been hopping between different hostels in San Francisco and this is definitely the best one for location and staff support. About the location, it's in one of the safest area in SF, between Financial District and Chinatown. Choose this place and stay away from mission/tenderloin area, trust me it doesn't matter if you find anything cheaper, unless you want to live in first person The Walking Dead. In ITH everything I needed was 10 minutes far or less by walk and the staff very present to suggest nice activities, organise trivia nights and even offer dinners or sweets on very specific days. You won't find in any other hostel staff that at 2 am is up with you to support you dealing with your next destination. Most of the hostels are managed by temporary volunteers or are fully automatic; here you can see that there's a manager caring about your experience. The community dimension that you'll find there must not be given for granted; I met new friends and I'm still in touch with them. I never write reviews, but if you're lost as I was when booking from afar, I hope this one could help.
Disliked: I'm not a fan of moquette and even if I saw it being cleaned daily, you can tell it's pretty old and should be changed. Maybe also the curtains closing the beds could be renovated. I saw them working on a new design on walls, so probably there is a project ongoing! Last, the maximum you can book in a place in San Francisco - as general rule - is 14 days. Better specify it, Booking is not very clear about it.
