This was my first time staying at a hostel anywhere and as a single, black female I was not sure what to expect but I read so many positive reviews about this property that I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! I felt safe, welcome, comfortable and everything was so clean. I've already recommended it to multiple friends and will continue to do so! Highly recommend
