"I liked The Yard's strong environmental focus and social vibe: the hostel uses eco-friendly practices (recycled paper insulation, water bottle refilling stations, and reused shipping containers), and it has a large backyard with a bar, yoga classes, and regular barbecues that encourage socializing. Practical perks include breakfast every morning, free luggage storage for up to two months, and free bicycles for guests to use while touring the city." - Matthew Kepnes
