A great place to open your mind to a new way to interact with the modern world. Great bookstore as well!
I’ve been staying here for one week and LOVE my experience! The people are great, the rooms are tidy, the food is vegetarian and healthy and delicious, the location is perfect, and the group sitting meditations (optional) are a really cool experience. I highly recommend to any curious and open visitors to San Francisco
Thank you for a welcoming stay. People were friendly, food was really good, and the facility was beautiful. They let us keep our stuff there until we were ready to leave the city. We will definitely stay here again.
I thought this bookstore was cool mainly because they have the coolest notebooks ever. If you are a moleskin notebook nerd, they have every obscure moleskin, plus other very unique notebooks from all around the world.They also have a nice amount of self-published and books published from small publishing companies.
