The area
Address
Neighborhood: Haight-Ashbury
The area surrounding the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets, “The Haight” still exudes vibes of the 1960s counterculture as a haven for vintage clothes, music, pop posters and body piercing shops. While the Summer of Love ended decades ago, Haight-Ashbury has turned into a melting pot of hippies, hipsters, and professionals. Walking through its streets can still feel like stepping back in time. A must-see neighborhood for most music fans, it’s easy to see why these streets attracted the likes of the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. You’ll likely be content in The Haight day or night, just be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

Interesting 360 degrees, from Cupertino (recommended by car) to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Beautiful Fischerman area and of course Alcatraz.
Roads that have nothing to envy to roller coasters and fantastic taxi cars without drivers.
The House of Jimi Hendrix I do not actually know if it was actually one of his dwellings as there is no substantial evidence of his presence in the city.
He probably lived there for a short time but the neighborhood is still worth a visit.
He notes the massive presence of drug addicts in some downtown neighborhoods, a tangible plague that comes as a blow to the stomach.

It was fun to see Jimi Hendrix house which is in the Haight Ashbury area of San Francisco. Jimi Hendrix was a legendary musicican. The house recently got a new red paint job. There is a store on the first floor.

An important stop on our Hendrix pilgrimage to San Fran. Soak up the sounds, sights & smells(!) of Haight Ashbury - wonderfully colourful and eclectic.

The rumor has existed for years, but not sure why the owners are marketing this house as a former Jimi Hendrix home. Do your research people, he never even lived in San Francisco, much less at this address.

House is nothing special but it is in ground zero area for the hippie culture music movement.
Great neighborhood to walk around and reminisce.

For those that love the music legend no doubt the house in Haight Street would be something of a pilgrimage. To me it was an interesting property with an historical significance, adding to the eclectic mix of buildings and people that make up the area. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit along the street.

Right in the heart of Haight, this unpretentious dwelling speaks of the simple roots of 60's rock. The lower floor front was his apartment. 'So if your going to San Francisco ...' why not wander down Haight and salute one of the rock gods of 60's USA. The story goes that he didn't really like the district ... it was too busy.

Jimi Hendrix had an apartment in the ‘Red House’ just around the corner from where Janis Joplin lived in Lyon Street. Coincidentally that both died at age 27 16 days apart
