This was one of the best hostels I stayed at due to the hospitality and openness of the workers, their neighbor, and guests. I felt completely comfortable there, and it is a peaceful town. The guidebook I brought with to AK said it was a rundown town. I didn't pick that vibe up at all. The workers at Jana House would give you the shirt off their back and loved to give away fresh red salmon. Yes, I'm talking the best in the world.
