We've lived here for a few years and love it. The landlord has poured a LOT of $$ into the place ... from rebuilding the water pipes to painting to landscaping. The building is solid & survived the '89 quake with no damage. I've poked around some of the forbidden areas to get a sense of the quality of the original construction. It's a very safe building.
I believe the Carillon is only round apartment building in SF. Living in a pie-shaped apartment took a little getting used to since we only have square furniture. Everything fits, but our place won't win any interior design awards.
The building management is very responsive. The staff are all pros who have a sense of humor.
It's urban living with all the usual pluses and minuses. Everything we need is a short walk away or a bone-hammering ride on the 38.
But at the end of a day, there's always the hot tub and pool!
As Nicole sez, there are lots of new washers & dryers. I can usually snag enough machines on different floors to get a week's worth of laundry done in 90-minutes flat. And you don't need to hoard quarters ... the machines use a card system.
The tenant demographic runs from 20-somethings to 70-somethings. We have doctors, nurses, musicians, limo and taxi drivers, retired university professors and a couple of journalists.
This building is more like a small town than a bunch of tenant-strangers. Everyone has a story and eventually you'll hear them all.
