length of stay: 3 months
NO air conditioning! in a "luxury" apartment building! You have to be kidding me. Depending on what side of the building you are on is when the apartment turns into a cooker when the sun is full on coming into the windows even with all the shades down and fans blowing. The nonsense about SF weather is just that because of the micro climates - in this building its often sunny and it gets boiling hot in the apartments. Ours had the windows locked closed by the owner. I was naive, because for $7k plus a month, I didn't even think of asking whether there would be aircon - what 30-40 story luxury buildings don't! And of course you can't fit your own aircon to the windows because it would be dangerous to have a DIY aircon unit sticking out 30 stories up.

The ventilation is horrible. Even on cloudy days whatever you do, do not cook, because the smell will be with you for days, because you can't ventilate the apartment.
