hi, i'm a french virgin burner, and i need some advice.

My plane will land the 28th august in San Francisco. I'm looking for a cheap place for waiting the beginning of the festival.
Someone told me about "hostel". If i'd all understand it's a kind of hotel, but with collective room.
So, is there a hostel where there is a lot of burners?
I don't know San Francisco, is there some place unsafe places in witch i shouldn't book a hostel?

If someone had a better idea than hostel, do not hesitate to propose!

Thanxs a lot

Here's an option http://www.couchsurfing.com/. I think there are some people on eplaya that are registered with that site.

This company http://www.greentortoise.com/ lists a hostel on their website--and better yet, the offer a tour/trip to BM as well.

Ooops...I fucked up. I saw that he had 5 posts and somehow didn't notice he posted in the Intro section. But...now that you have pointed out the error of my ways, it's never too late...

Hey there dubovitch, welcome to eplaya!

Thank you JK I feel so much better now Welcome dubovitch. I agree with JK couchsurfing may be the best way to go. See ya in the dust, oh and be sure to bring out some bacon.

You can always do a google search on "san francisco hostel." I'm guessing that August is a busy time of year, and that lots of Europeans will be in those hostels, so book now if you can. Or couch surf.

They also have a place in seattle and do a bus to and from Burningman.

I recommended staying out of the Tenderloin Unless you like crack heads and heroin addicts

For the unsafe area in San Francisco, someone told me that Tenderloin, western addition, and a part of mission was not fully secure....

I had an excellent stay at the Green Tortoise hostel. They even had organized a group Pub Crawl!
