I've lived at the Fillmore Center for almost 4 years, i've moved with in the complex twice. I like living here. it's not the best or cheep by any means. I have a parking space in one of the vast under ground parking structures. Let me just say, everyone who works at the office (including maintenance, parking and security) HATE their jobs. I spend a lot of my time trying to get things from them, either maintenance work, clear up accounting errors, or even pick up something from the office. You need to know this and be willing to accept this if you plan to live here.

The neighborhood is safe and also unsafe. in the last year there has been an effort to clean up the area. I do not recomend living in any other building then the one of O'Farrell. it's the safest you can go out at night and be safe.

One of the perks that I do enjoy is the FREE shuttle that goes to downtown you can ride it m-f, 6-9:30 am, and 3:30-7pm. it makes a number of stops by union square and in the financial district.

When I first moved in I lived in a 2 bedroom 2 bath ( $2600 a month) on the 9th floor it has a great view towards downtown, except the double pane windows has condensation between them and you could hardly see out. none of the windows closed all the way so it was always noisy. Our neighbors below us were part of the Art institute student housing and constantly had parties and smoked out their window (and blew directly in ours). we called security on them several times when they did nothing we called the cops.

Then I moved to a studio, in the same building facing the ocean. my view was mostly of a school right behind the building. when I first moved in I made a few requests to maintenance. 2 months later no one came so i complained. they had passed over my request because the person who made it worded it strangely, they didn't even call me! they finally came and fixed most of the stuff (I still have 2 outlets that don't work).

Now for some of the good things. no bugs! orkin comes in and monitors for bugs you can also deny them access to your unit if you want. The office will accept packages for you, this is really great i don't get home till late. location, one block from the 38 bus line, across the street from safeway. also fillmore shopping district is 3 blocks away.

In summery, if you can handle the sketch neighborhood, and are vocal about getting what you want, this place is great. if not there are lots of other options in the city this place will be a nightmare for you.
