The hostel is located about 10 blocks from downtown (about 15 to the university campus). It's in a residential area, with reasonably easy parking available on the streets behind the hostel.
It's converted from a large two story house and it still retains the look and feel of a home. It's all well maintained and generally clean. There are two boys' dorms, two girls' dorms, and a private room, but no co-ed dorm room. Space is available outside for setting up tents for those wishing to camp [Update: We are told that camping is no longer permitted.]. There is a living room area with couches, a dining room, and a large kitchen. There's a dog and a cat living in the hostel, so be warned if you're alergic.
One note about the kitchen, it's vegetarian only, apparently even if you use your own cooking utensils. So if you were planning on heating up some chicken soup for lunch, sorry, you're out of luck. And actually if you're not a hippy at heart, you may feel out of place at this hostel (and in Eugene in general for that matter). It's an ultra-liberal town and this hostel strongly reflects that. If you're not ok with anti-conservative comments and messages posted on the walls, you might not want to stay here.
