*studio vs. 1 bedroom*

I’m a big guy with plenty of crap so having the 1 bedroom place means that I have a little bit more room to move around. I wouldn’t do a studio.

*month-to-month or short-term lease vs. 1 year commitment*

Obviously, will pay less if you do a 1 year commitment. Moving is a pain in the butt. I like my place but don’t love it. Moving would be more work than what it’s worth so I’ve been where I am for 2 years now.

*does being walking distance to work matter?*

Before I went to Clearspring, I was able to walk to work. This was AMAZING but I do admit that I like using the commuting time to force myself to read or listen to podcast that I wouldn’t otherwise make time for.

*laundry in the unit?*

Heck yes. I hate doing laundry and if I had to take my laundry off premises it’d be even more of a pain.

In reply to adam jackson. Thanks Adam, checking out your blog now and the site you suggested. Blog comments like this are just one more reason I'm excited to move to SF, friendliest people (well Seattle is pretty friendly, too).

I wrote a series of blog posts after my first year in SF came to an end. I’m 1.5 years in now and I love it here.

Let me know if you’d like any advice over the phone or IM in regards to the move.

when i first looked to move, this site was very helpful.
