BTW - I help everyone that contacts me. Here is what I know, just the facts. Our location is the best in Mountain View. We are on the north side of central expressway/train tracks, easiest access to freeways, google, everything, no traffic delays, safe and quiet. Please note that you do not want to rent on the South side of Central Expressway to El Camino, San Antonio to Shoreline, is the Crime corridor - oldest buildings, bed bugs, mold, mildew, big crime, very loud train, big traffic jams to get to Google and 101. Avoid California St., Latham, big shopping centers, rengstorff park area. If the rental maps are just circles, beware, they don't want to give the specific street name due to its reputation. Also, if there are no pictures of furniture in the ad, these are prop. mgr. developers and they won't live on site and don't screen for your other roommates. If the ad says "room will be furnished with.." is a sign. You won't know the strangers character of who you will live with and the new build, is not new, just faux fix over mold, etc. This is the newest scheme. If they want you to sign a lease, ask to see the original with the owners signature. If they get mad, there's something fishy. If they say they are located downtown, the rental will not be on California street, but located off of downtown Castro street. Downtown Castro area is no fun to live there. No place to park cars, lots of noise (train and events) and impossible to get to Google and 101. Big conjestion at Castro Caltrain. And now downtown has become a car theft center. You can always get the free Mountain View Voice, 2nd or 3rd pg. will list crime. Also google mountain view crime. I usually cover this info. on the phone; I love helping people. It takes time, so I hope this helps those of you new to the area.
So many horror stories out there. Good luck in your search. Be well. Peace
