Excellent choice for those who require basics and beyond (shower, laundry, a place for the night, or a meal, among myriad other services). Free and always available, the DI is happy to help you, whether you need them for a minute or for months. Great people working here. It IS a shelter though, so expect sub-par cleanliness. For their part, however, the staff always strive to keep things neat.
EDIT: highly dangerous; there have been a series of (oft-unreported) violent assaults, including an incident that left a man partially eviscerated. Apparently these incidents are relatively commonplace.
