'$1500 for a prison cell?': Unusual San Francisco apartment listing goes viral

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – An unusual San Francisco apartment listing on the SF Bay Area Craigslist page has become a topic of debate on Reddit. The listing, $1,500 for a one-bedroom in Lower Nob Hill, at first glance might look pretty good.

The listing goes on to say that the unit includes a private entrance and access to the yard, but after that, it goes downhill pretty quickly. There’s no sink or kitchen, although there is access to a “shed private refrigerator.”

While that might not be a dealbreaker, the photo accompanying the listing clearly shows that the unit features what could politely be called en suite facilities. Put less politely: There’s a toilet in the room.

Yes, you read that correctly. It’s located under the loft bed.

The room also features a shower, which from the photo, looks as if it might have been installed in what was formerly a closet.

In a subreddit titled, “Serious question, is this legal?”, Reddit commenters were quick to make light of the spartan arrangements.

“Looks like the ‘you’ve been a good boy reward room’ at San Quentin,” wrote one commenter.

“Is that a prison cell?” asked another.

“Once you’ve moved in, just have to decide which prison gang you’re going to run with,” chimed in another.

“$1500 for a prison cell???” someone else balked.

“Well, it’s still like 60 square feet more than a minimum security prison cell,” another Redditor wrote.

“I think it is a bathroom honestly,” commented another.

“I’m taking it this was originally a bathroom since there is no way they got the plumbing for shower/toilet in a random room…technically I don’t think it’s illegal to rent a bathroom and it’s the roommate’s prerogative to sleep next to or above a toilet,” opined another poster.

As of this writing, the listing has been up for six days. Nexstar’s KRON4.com reached out to the lister for more information and to the San Francisco Housing Authority to weigh in on the legality of the arrangement.
