Re: hiring a maid
Geormiet - get a rec through a friend.
In LA, 1 bedrooms are ~$50 / cleaning, 2 bedrooms $~70, I imagine the prices are somewhat comparable in SF. My cleaning lady comes every 2 weeks. I'm pretty cheap and I think it's absolutely worth the cost. Outside of the occasional tidying up and doing basic day-to-day cleaning (dishes, etc.) I never have to think about it.

The first time the maid comes, you give her a tour and explain how YOU like things done, where things go, etc etc and then within a few visits she'll have it down pat.

This is pretty critical, imo.

Yea I'm thinking about doing this as well, but I'd almost rather be here in some capacity because I really don't want to trust someone with a key.

I'm there or nearby when she cleans - I would never give out a copy of my key.
