In Pacific Tradewinds I am immediately felt at ease. It is very warmly welcomed and the people there are all mega friendly. It is a rather small but very social hostel. In the evening, many sitting in the common room and you can get very easily talk to each other. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. The location: perfect location to explore San Francisco and very importantly, it is in a safe area. You get from the staff also great tips which you can explore everything and where there are discounts. When I am back in San Francisco, I will stay there again
