Earlier quoted context omitted.
I got this quote last December, for anyone curious. Price has probably gone up by now. >One bedroom units here are priced from $2500 to $3000. Two bedroom units are priced from $2550 to $3300. You're right, it's definitely not too bad if you have three or four people in a two bedroom. And it's also furnished and on a 3 month lease.
Crystal Towers is one of the worst deals in SF. The only thing it has going for it is 3 month leases. For the same price, you can get a similar corporate housing vibe, but in a new building, if you look near the Caltrain station. If you are really into the George Jefferson retro hi-rise aesthetic, there are plenty of places around Japantown that are $700-$1200 cheaper for the same square footage.
Re: Ask PG: Correlation between frugality and startup success?
#31Um, near caltrain would be SOMA where rents for a comprable place to CT are at least the same if not more. CT is also far from a corporate housing vibe, you pay for the view and the location (North Beach). Calling it one of the worst deals in SF is just flat out false. Check craigslist for housing in North Beach, its all in the same price range.
