Ask HN: In the Bay Area for two months, need housing feedback

Hey guys!

Me and two others are moving to the Bay Area for two months (1 Oct - 1 Dec). We are currently looking for housing, but haven't found anything within our budget yet (<= $3000/month). The three of us would like to live together (a 2BR apartment would be fine).

We already found accommodation at Silicon House (http://siliconhouse.us/#), but it's over our budget. However, we're still considering. Anyone has got experience with Silicon House? Is it any good? What are the opportunities of meeting other people/mentors? What about the in-house events?

Anyone else that might have some leads to a $2.5k-3k/month apartment in SF/Mountain View/Palo Alto?

Thanks!



I second airbnb.

Advantages over craigslist and the like for subletting: You can sort by availability dates. A lot of craigslist postings start three months from now, I saw people trying to sublet for next spring already.

The pricing is in the same units. It sucks to read a post and realize the price is for some weird unit of time like 10 days or something.


You can try airbnb.com or vrbo.com.

At your price range, it would be hard to find a 2br but, you can find a place with two beds no problem (although, they may be in the same room).


We're using airbnb. Didn't know vrbo. Worth to check it out, thanks!


Happy ending. We got accommodation for free in the Mission in San Francisco for a small percentage of our fledgling startup, minggler.com
