ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
We arrived in San Francisco and made our way into the centre of the trendy city. We checked our Lonely Planet and decided to check out the Green Tortoise Hostel on Broadway. The streets of Broadway are laced with strip joints, bars and nightclubs. We walked into the hostel, which at first didn’t seem [...]

As previously mentioned by the other guy, I’m one [...]
