They are not. It's just a standard 1 br. SF is a bit peculiar. There are some things I should call out which are different in most rentals in comparison to luxury rentals:
* No Washer/Dryer in the unit. You'll usually share.
* No parking spot.
* No-one will be around to pick up parcels for you.
* You'll have to put the rubbish bins out for the bin man.
* The stove and fridge and heating won't be using the latest stuff. You're not expecting to have a Nest or a Viking but you won't get a nice stove either, it'll be very basic.
Honestly, it's a downgrade in standard of living for me but not to the point that it annoys me. Those things were just luxuries. Really the washer/dryer being in my unit is the one thing I really miss.
