In around 1973 (22 years old) I moved to SF and my first resident was 711 Post Street Ansonia resident club, which served breakfast and dinner five days a week? In order to reduced my rent I helped with serving breakfast and dinner. My room consisted of single bed with a sink, the full toilet and bathroom was down the hall. This building served the as a great place for young people moving to SF and recommended that the building with exception of upgrades like life safety remain as is. I have nothing but good memories of the place and met many wonderful people.
