    It is a warm and welcoming place and those sharing the space were very respectful of each other. I was just passing through but would have enjoyed spending more time at the hostel itself. I will next time.

    This is kind of a throwback hippy hostel thing. But it's super clean. Reasonably priced. Nice staff. Super nice hang out areas. Good vibes.
