Okay, so I'm a second timer here. I swear it had been 20+ years since i visited phoenix and now i've been back here twice within the last year. Anyways, take a look at the photos because you are staying in a residential hostel which is basically a large house converted into an hostel.
The area for those who like an edgier feel is in an historic artist community. Not a big deal to me but there are unique small shops happening in the area. For those who do public transportation its not too bad until the walk to the hostel which can be a sauna in the summer. I mean you can wait for the bus, but its a long wait in phoenix.
An important thing about this place bring cash they do not take credit cards or checks
