2 I stayed in the hostel a few years ago (and was the only person in the hostel), and still remember it as being a creepy, scary place. The owner said things that made him seen crazy. Do not ever go here if you're traveling alone. It's too bad, because the area and the city of Ojai is amazing.

4 Quiet hostel, with average accommodations but a very enthusiastic owner, who is kind enough to let you try the fruit which is in season. It's very beneficial to have a mode of transport, though, as it is a bit out in the sticks.
