I stayed here in early march 2012 (the one on 18th street) for three nights and had a great time . Really central location and Walter was very helpful. He provided good instructions from the airport and met me when I arrived at the Starbucks down the road. I didn't see much of the other guests as was out most of the time and was great to come back to my own room with bathroom (had a bath too). You can hear the bars on the street at night but I was at the back so wasn't too much of a problem. The breakfast was fairly basic with bagels, cereal, juice and coffee/tea available. It feels quite 'homely' in a character style villa so don't go expecting mod cons. Everything pretty clean and tidy though. Recommended for price and location definitely.

The Village house is in the Castro area of San Francisco. If you have ever wanted to experience the GLBT lifestyle, this is the place to do it. Located just around the corner from the famous Castro Theater, it puts you in the middle of the action.

We spent a weekend there while the "Castro Street Fair" was happening (early October). For one day, the streets are blocked off and thousands of folks come in to town to see the sights. While the fair is interesting, the visitors (and local residents) are even more so. Anything goes in dress, including street nudity.

The actual reason we went to SF was to see opera. SF Opera has a schedule that allows you to get tickets for three different operas, back to back on a few weekends per year. Then during the day, you have time for art museums (we saw a Picasso exhibit), shopping, and general sightseeing.

The Village House has several rooms, one with private bath and "balcony". The rest are shared facilities. Breakfast is a nice self-serve set up. The house is "old SF" and like almost everything has stairs. Public transportation is fast ,cheap and easy. The landlords are full of information and gracious. If you're wanting to pack a lot into a few days, this is the place to do it.

Cozy place close to the lifeful Market St and Bueno Vista Park - easy access by metro, tram or bus... Great host!
Thanks Walter :-)

If you want a place with character then look no further. After a few nights in interchangeable motel rooms village house was an oasis. our room was beautifully decorated, the bed utterly comfortable and street/bar noise non-existent (we were in the middle of the house). My girlfriend and I got a genuinely warm and friendly welcome, chatted for ages and got all the help and advice we needed thereafter. The neighbourhood is certainly fun, with good fun and drink less than a stone's throw away. If you're after a b&b that stands out, this is a fantastic bet.
