The Europa is budget hotel with private and shared bathroom options. It's an older building. However, they keep it super-clean. The shared bathrooms and showers are spotless. The rooms are large with a sink, fridge, microwave, and a large TV with Dish. The staff is really nice and accommodating. There are many dining options literally next door with a plethora of options being on the border of "Little Italy" and Chinatown. It's a few blocks from Coit Tower, the best views of the San Francisco Bay, in my opinion. The oldest running bar in SF is a block away....The Saloon...if you like famous musicians, live Blues players, no cover except weekends and super cheap drinks! Basically The Europa is a spectacular place for medium budget travelers.
