Short Term Furnished Apartments

I will be going up to SF later this year for about 1-2 months and would like to find a furnished apartment to rent. I have done some research on the web and found a few like CitiSuites, but they are way too luxurious and expensive (2500 and up)

I%26#39;m just looking for a studio w/a kitchenette. It doesn%26#39;t have to be fancy, but must be clean and in a decent part of town. Would not like to spend more than 2000/month. Is this unrealistic.

I did fine one w/in my price range called the Trinity Apts, but reviews have not been very good. Has anyone stayed there recently? How was it? Also heard they were gonna tear it down...does anyone know when?

Thanks in advance

have you checked www.craigslist.com?

I have, but for some reason, I just don%26#39;t feel comfortable with craigslist. I have heard about lots of scams.

I just want to deal with an actually company where I can book on line and get confirmation # etc. Guess it all boils down to peace of mine :)

nyla818, check out http://yelp.com/ Go to thier SF talk boards and post your question there. I%26#39;m sure you will get some good responses.

I agree that I wouldn%26#39;t send money in advance to a private individual. or an unknown company. When we needed temp housing in another city, we checked craigslist just before leaving (many of the listings are for immediate vacancies anyway). Booked a motel for a few nights while we checked out the most promising listings. You are taking a big chance booking an apartment sight unseen, even if you think the company is realiable.

Crazy4Cali--thanks for the yelp link.

FromDelMar--thanks for your suggestion. That%26#39;s a good idea about getting a motel for a few days while checking out the apartments in person. Never even crossed my mind to do that.

Trinity%26#39;s teardown might be slowed down a bit. Hard to say what is going to happen just yet but there%26#39;s some political wrangling going on:

Is Oakwood apartments an option, do not know the cost, they have a website.

Oakwood Geary Courtyard (I think that%26#39;s the name.)

The Nob Hill Chateau (I think these are more than you may want to spend though. )
