The Abbey Apartments

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE! The building is filthy and the «manager» is unprofessional! There was deffinetly something crooked about Nono. He said he would rent to us, then took it back the same day! What kind of crap is that?! Plus, who do you know, charged people $ 40.00 PER background check? None that I know of!

So yesterday I FINALLY signed the lease to my spacious (relatively), newly remodeled studio at Jones and O’Farrell when, two hours later, guess what happened? A man was shot to death on the sidewalk directly below my window. Welcome to The Abbey Apartments!
This apartment building is going through a rather major «retro-​fitting» and because of that, the units which are opening for rent are actually pretty nice. Also, due to the excessive shadiness of the neighborhood, the rent is very reasonable. Yes, there are not one, not two, but three 24-​hr «Asian Massage» parlours on the block. Yes, there is more drug activity than I’ve seen even in my college dorm. Yes, there are plenty of super-​creepy people about at all hours and yes, every once in awhile someone gets shot in a drug deal gone sour. However, I am extremely pleased to have found a completely renovated studio, with new everything, close to downtown.
