I’m looking to rent a 1 bedroom that is eligible for Facebooks $15k relocation stipend and has little traffic to and from FB campus. I’ve ruled out east bay due to traffic. I have limited experience in renting a place. What should I look for and what should avoid in potential housing. So far my only criteria are proximity to shuttle stop and whether or not in-unit laundry is available.
- ISP and connection speed available - Cellphone reception - Whether amazon fresh is available - What restaurants are available on Grubhub, delivery times, and open hours - Whether anything nearby is really noisy (eg fire station / ambulance / cops / club / bars ) - air conditioning / ease of installing portable units
If you are Facebook, don't worry about eating outside, time your 3 meals at Facebook and manage to eat out on weekends
