I just rented a new apartment! I rented a studio on the 26th floor of the Fox Plaza building in Hayes Valley. It has a 200 degree view up Market to the Pride Flag, down upon City Hall, Symphony Hall, The Opera house and across to the Golden Gate Bridge. It's almost $500 less in rent than I'm paying now - and just enough room.... I'm so excited! no roommate! Just me and Miss Kate - and the lovely David on alternate weekends! I can't believe it - it was a special move in incentive - - and I scored an insane low rent!

AND I HAVE A BALCONY WITH A WORLD-CLASS SAN FRANCISCO VIEW!!!

AND I CAN GET HOME ON LUNCH HOUR AND WALK MISS KATE....

Being a regular goer to the Symphony and Opera - now I can walk to performances - and all the great restaurants and shopping in Hayes Valley will now be two blocks away.

I get the keys on Tuesday - and will move in over Memorial Day weekend.

I am so incredible stoked! Katey and I are secure and set up!! (snap!)

its a SMALL place - but I think it's going to be awesome. and I get to remain living alone with Miss Kate - - which after two weeks of roommate searching, is awesome.

It's a tiny tiny apartment - but I know I'm going to be very happy there.

I'm so happy for you! Small places force us to simplify. But hey, who can complain with view balcony and a walk-in closet? Whoopee!

Congratulations! Hope you're all happy there

Well done. All things considered, it is probably more "muffinspace" than you would have had if sharing and you don't have to worry about Miss Kate being sold for crack money while you're at work (sad thing is that I know someone who had that happen to them...)

Congrats!

And next time you take a cruise, you'll think the cabin is a step up! ;)

That is FANTASTIC, Bob! The flat looks quite tidy and bright with a gorgeous view over the city. I'm sure the Missus will be happy sleeping here between her walks :-)

You're IN! YAY!

Very good news! Maybe all the crazy bad potential roomies were there for this reason! Sounds like you landed a gem!!

Looks like a lovely place and 500 bucks savings is way cool. And no housemates to please is even better. This should be a great place for you and the miss kate!.

Congrats, Bob! It looks like a wonderful space! Now you know why the share situations didn't quite work out!

HUGS!

I am glad you did not wind up rooming with someone...you'll be happier here

The 26th floor???

I guess you're "Movin' On Up"! Congratuations and much huggage!

I'll refrain from asking about hawkin' loogies or dropping coins off the balcony, 'cause I'm all mature n'stuff.
