San Francisco Interim Furnished Housing

While many people love coming to San Francisco for business it can be quite expensive, difficult, and uncomfortable to stay for intermediate periods of time. Hotels and companies such as Airbnb & VRBO are great options for daily and weekly rentals but they can quickly get very pricey when looking for an extended stay of more than a few weeks. 


At AMSI we offer cost comparative alternative housing options for beautifully furnished rentals on a monthly basis. Designed for travelers who will be here longer than 30 days but are not seeking a year lease, our short-term furnished housing program can be a wonderful option. With a vast inventory of unique properties located throughout the city in some of the most coveted neighborhoods of San Francisco, our furnished housing options have been a staple SF service since its innovative inception over thirty years ago. 


Originating from demand, AMSI innovators realized that there was a niche market in the business world and that corporate executives often found themselves staying in San Francisco for several months at a time and were looking for the San Francisco experience while here. Harnessing good relationships and developing a reputable reputation, it is no surprise that our extended stay program quickly grew to be one of the first and most desired temporary furnished housing services in the San Francisco, Bay Area, and the United States.


AMSI is unique in that all of our properties are privately owned and often contain many more amenities, accouterments, and appliances than our competitors and hotel counterparts. With the amazing allure of San Francisco's charm, we have become a beacon for the industry and have helped build the standard of corporate housing expectations to date. We work directly with our clients to help them find exactly what they are looking for and try our best to anticipate their housing needs in order to make the process of finding an interim place to stay painless and exciting.


Our properties are very diverse, ranging from our pristinely updated furnished condos in downtown high-rise buildings great for corporate executives, to charming San Francisco flats, chateaus, and even full Victorian houses perfect for the relocating family. Suited for people from all walks of life we are here to accommodate and work with you to enhance the authentic San Francisco experience.


Over the years we have housed a wide variety of corporate executives, movie stars (Michael Douglas, Gene Hackman, Don Johnson, Wendy Kilbourne, Gary Cole, Placido Domingo & Sharon Stone), and many others, who have enjoyed the authentic experience that AMSI has to offer. San Francisco's magic and charm are embedded in the heart of the cities architecture and our wide variety of properties showcase the many elements that make this vibrant city shine. AMSI fills the niche for those clients who are taking residence in San Francisco for a temporary assignment, or who are relocating to San Francisco and need interim housing until they secure long-term housing. 


Whether it be breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, or the Bay, chances are we have something to fit any and all of your housing needs. We embrace people from all walks of life and would be delighted to share our beautiful catalog of properties to help you find the perfect place to stay while in this beautiful city.

AMSI in the Spotlight: Alex Goffo on San Francisco's Changing Rental Market AMSI's Alex Goffo shares his perspective on the evolving role of leasing agents in the September 2026 issue of SF Apartment Magazine. San Francisco's rental market has experienced significant changes over the past several years, reshaping how property owners attract tenants, market their listings, and navigate an increasingly competitive landscape. In his article, Leasing the Way, published in the September 2026 issue of SF Apartment Magazine, AMSI's Alex Goffo explores how professional leasing agents have become an essential connection between property owners, renters, and the changing market. A Changing Rental Landscape Before the pandemic, many San Francisco property owners managed their own rental listings. As vacancies increased and competition intensified, professional marketing, pricing strategies, and leasing support became increasingly valuable. Today, with rental demand strengthening and workers returning to offices, Alex highlights how the leasing process has evolved beyond simply filling vacancies. Why Professional Representation Matters According to Alex, successful leasing requires more than setting an asking price and publishing a listing. Professional agents help property owners position their properties competitively, coordinate showings, communicate with prospective tenants, and evaluate applications while maintaining fair housing compliance. The goal isn't simply to secure the highest possible rent. It's to make informed decisions that protect a property's long-term value. Looking Ahead As San Francisco's rental market continues to evolve, Alex emphasizes the importance of knowledgeable, responsible representation. His article reinforces a central principle of AMSI's approach: combining local market expertise with thoughtful, personalized service for property owners and renters. We're proud to recognize Alex for contributing his perspective to the San Francisco real estate community.

Robb Fleischer Calls for a Fresh Look at San Francisco Housing Policy Featured in the August 2026 edition of the San Francisco Apartment Association Magazine In the August 2026 edition of the San Francisco Apartment Association (SFAA) Magazine, AMSI Corporate Broker Robb Fleischer shares his perspective on the future of San Francisco's rental housing market in an open letter titled “A Call to Reexamine Housing Policy, Property Rights, and the Future of San Francisco.” Drawing on more than 45 years of experience as a San Francisco resident and property management professional, Robb examines the growing challenges facing housing providers and the importance of balancing tenant protections with the long-term sustainability of rental housing. The Challenges Facing San Francisco Housing In his letter, Robb discusses the financial pressures affecting rental property owners, including rising insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, regulatory requirements, and construction costs. He also explores how rent regulations, development barriers, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment can influence housing investment and the availability of rental properties. A Call for Constructive Dialogue At the heart of Robb's message is the belief that protecting tenants and maintaining a healthy rental housing market should not be competing objectives. Rather than advocating for the elimination of tenant protections, he encourages policymakers to reexamine the cumulative impact of existing regulations and consider approaches that support affordability, responsible property ownership, and future housing development. His letter calls for a thoughtful conversation about how San Francisco can address its housing challenges while creating a more sustainable environment for both residents and housing providers. Read the Full Article Robb's letter offers a perspective shaped by decades of firsthand experience in San Francisco's rental housing industry. Read “A Call to Reexamine Housing Policy, Property Rights, and the Future of San Francisco” in the August 2026 SFAA Magazine, beginning on page 54. Read the Full Article in SFAA Magazine
