An absolutely amazing experience. Finding the right home in the east bay can be difficult. I had been struggling to find the right space for myself and my dog but as soon as I got in contact with Ariana everything changed. She showed me a couple great units that fit exactly what I was looking for. Her knowledge of the current market and surrounding areas/ amenities of the neighborhood was very impressive. Ariana made it feel personal like she actually cared about renting me a place I would feel comfortable in. She was very easy to talk to and she works quick! Got me moved in the same week. read more

I've now worked with this agency twice to find rentals, and both experiences have been great. In such a competitive market, having a responsive and reliable team makes all the difference. Caroline in particular has been amazing--professional, communicative, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. She made everything feel much less stressful and was always quick to answer questions and keep things moving. I really appreciate how smooth they made the experience both times, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to others looking for a place. read more

I am a Post9/11 war veteran who works at home as a sexual assault crisis counselor and is currently fighting cancer, and my electricity and hot water were cut without notice or fault for two days. At first I was very angry and wrote a very accurate but schathing review. I stand by that, but in the end I find this has all been a massive depressing experience that has left me damaged and unsettled. I was made to live like an animal. It was one of the loneliest things I've experienced and it frightened me. I don't appreciate asking me to change my review just because my apartment is basically habitable now. And I don't want to have to block numbers texting me about it all after business hours on a weekend. I don't get it. This has just been an all around nightmare and has left me feeling worthless, creeped out, and defeated. How do I sort out the negative situation this caused? I don't know, but I'd like to do it in privacy, please. I have nothing more in me to say. Just be advised. Thank you. read more

2B Living - Emergency Inspection - Property Management Near Me - San Carlos, California

I've had consistently good experiences with this property management company, but I especially want to call out Damien, one of their technicians. He's always incredibly responsive, communicates clearly, and is flexible with scheduling, which makes a huge difference with my work hours. Every time he's come by, the work has been done efficiently and with care. Really appreciate the level of service he provides. read more

I recently used this team for a plumbing service order, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. * Prompt & Professional: They showed up right on time, which is always a massive plus when you're dealing with plumbing issues. * Great Quality: The work was done quickly, efficiently, and they left everything spotless when they were finished. read more

Armin Bajramovic does maintenance for 2B living and really took his time to ask all the questions of the issues that needed fixing in our apartment. He did a great shop with our sink that was clogged and cabinets that were broken. Now they are working great! read more

Thank you, Gaitors, for fixing our leaky sink issue! He was friendly, explained the issue, and fixed it right away.

I would not recommend this property management company based on my experience as a current tenant. Communication is consistently poor. Property managers seem to change every few months, making it confusing to know who to contact for issues. There is little to no follow-up, and residents are often left in the dark. The ongoing seismic work has been especially frustrating. We were told last year that the project would take about eight weeks, yet it has clearly extended far beyond that timeline with no meaningful updates. There also appears to be little oversight of the contractors--work regularly continues past 5 p.m. on weekdays and has even taken place on weekends. For tenants who work from home, have children, care for others, or simply need a reasonable level of quiet, the constant noise has been extremely disruptive. Noise control in general is not well managed. There are no clear guidelines around large pets in upper-level units or any requirements to mitigate noise (such as using rugs). As a result, excessive noise from upstairs units is a frequent issue that goes unaddressed. Safety concerns have also not been handled proactively. After an attempted break-in at one of the building's front doors, management only repaired the visible damage without implementing any additional security measures. There is also an old bank of unused mailboxes outside the building with a loose metal panel that repeatedly falls open, creating a potential hazard that has not been properly resolved. Overall, there is a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive management. It often feels like tenant concerns are minimized, and that the focus is more on collecting rent than maintaining a safe, well-managed living environment. read more

As a building resident, I really appreciate how responsive, professional, friendly, and helpful the maintenance staff is in responding quickly to my requests. I had a front window and closet door broken, and Armin was super communicative and accommodating to my schedule so he could repair the issues within two days. Armin was polite and respectful so my dog was at ease while he worked in the apartment. thanks for making the process as easy as possible to fix what was needed. read more

I would give this company zero stars if I could. Someone turned off the laundry machines even though they knew they were still in use. The laundry room is supposed to be open until 10:00 PM, but it was shut down at 7:40 PM. Our clothes were still in the dryer and left soaking wet. There was no notice and no contact information available, so we had no idea who to reach for help. On top of that, the hallway is always dirty. I truly miss the old management, MAG Management. Things were much better back then. Im really frustrated read more

2B Living - Property Management Near Me - San Carlos, California

See all

What a great experience working with 2B Living! About a week ago, our dryer started making strange noises and really slowed down the drying process. Their resident portal made is so easy to request maintenance for this issue. That afternoon, I got a call from their scheduler and I had a technician out the following day. While he wasn't able to repair it in that visit, he said he would be communicating with 2B Living with regards to the issue. Today I got a call from the property manager, Nelly who showed a genuine concern for my issue and is working on a solution. At every turn, the 2B Living team made me feel like a valued tenant with kindness and genuine concern for coming up with a solution. I can reccommend this management company as one of the best I've ever rented from. Keep up the good work guys! read more

We've been with 2B Living for years and Damian, the maintenance technician, has always made sure everything in our house is working properly. He's always responsive and gets the job done correctly. An essential part of a good property management company! read more

2B Living is by far the best property management company I've experienced thus far. The property managers are great and very responsive. They lacked in action towards a repeated offender of a neighbor which eventually led to our departure from the property (reason for the 4 stats). But, aside from that incident they have been amazing. Cute little welcome home basket upon receiving the keys to the property. Most property management places have complaints about maintenance but 2B Living is the one exception. If we ever had any issues the maintenance guy was scheduled the next day to come and fix the request. Jose is the best maintenance guy I have ever had at a place I was renting! Fixed everything with ease, was respectful, never had to ask him to put boot covers on as we have 2 young kids. Their properties are very fairly priced, we were surprised the price of our property we were renting wasn't fake. Considering the number of rooms and bathrooms. Charlie, the newly entering property manager upon our departure, was a pleasant surprise. I wish he had been our property manager during our tenancy. He is very responsive, provides updates, and is super transparent. It took the full 21 days to receive our deposit back but Charlie ensured we got every dollar back we deserved. 2B Living is doing great work and if you're thinking of having them be your property management company or renting from a property they're managing, do it. read more

This review is meant for the awesome maintenance repair individual, German. Whenever I have something I need help with, he is fast to respond and friendly. Home is somewhere that you protect and having one familiar face assisting w our needs puts me at ease- our dog loves him as well! Thanks German for all of your help (I live in an old building and sometimes things come up more than a new building). Thanks 2B for hiring trustworthy people! read more

I just moved into a new apartment managed by 2B Living, and have submitted a few maintenance requests. Sergio came each time to fix whatever was needed. He did a great job, he was super personable and a really good communicator. I could tell he was really interested in the best way to make my situation better, and am happy with the results. I also really like that 2B dispatched the same person each time, so Sergio now has knowledge of my apartment and whatever repairs have been done, and it's someone familiar to me who I can trust. That consistensy feels good, and I'm grateful to be in such good hands if any other repairs are needed in the future. I highly recommend 2B Living and especially Sergio! read more

Living at the Quinn by 2B has been a dream. Service coordination has been so easy to get things set up. Like living in a hotel, makes me feel like my money is worth it. Nelly is such a responsive and sweet manager and our in building manager Scott is truly the best neighbor. Highly recommend. read more

0 stars would be more appropriate. They are non-responsive, and when they do communicate they are rude and condescending. For 4 months I did not have a functioning front door lock on a unit with the front door facing the street. Anyone could have walked into my apartment, but for me to exit I had to take out the phone and use the app to unlock the door and exit (a fire hazard). They showed no urgency in fixing the matter, and offered no compensation for the lack of security. Currently I am dealing with a poorly waterproofed patio that results in rain water seeping through my floor boards any time it rains. This has been occurring since I moved in, it was finally evaluated in August 2025. They finally scheduled a repair last week (March 2026) but failed to inform me that the repairs required me to move all furniture prior to the workers arriving. They sent the email informing me of the repair after hours on a Friday evening and the workers arrived before 8 a.m. on Monday morning. Nelly the property manager often sends emails after hours and then uses the excuse of it being outside business hours to justify being unreachable for follow-up. They have been threatening, they have served me with illegitimate termination of tenancy notices. I have been told secure locks and doors, rain water entering the apartment and failure to repair issues resulting in dampness are not habitability issues despite state laws clearly stating otherwise. read more

0 stars. Truly the most unresponsive team I've ever dealt with. I put in multiple service requests to get my heating system fixed in December 2025 and kept having my requests marked complete without anyone ever coming to check on it. Stuck living in the cold with no heat for months. They also falsely represented to me for 7 months that there's a waitlist for garage spots--just to give it to new tenants without consulting the "waiting list" that allegedly exists. After emailing five people on the team about my frustrations FOUR weeks ago, I still have yet to get a response. So I'm taking my frustrations to Yelp. read more

This review is solely for the maintenance worker Damian who always is incredibly attentive. Everytime I have a request he is always quick to respond and provide feedback. When I do tend to have a request, I always ask about something else to see if its something they (building management) can handle. The value of his assistance throughout the time that I have rented through 2bliving have been a great experience. Thank you, Damian for everything that you do. You are extremely valuable not just to me but I'm sure to all the tendants that you assist on your day to day. read more

The quality of my 7-unit apartment building's management dropped significantly after 2B Living took over management. Within the first week of their management, the lock to the front gate to the building had broken and was completely unlocked - so anyone could walk in, steal packages, attempt to enter units. Nearly every tenant called and emailed them to urgently fix the lock and they repeatedly dodged all calls and emails about it. After an entire week of this, my partner told them they're violating California tenant law and that we would escalate if they didn't fix it immediately, and they finally fixed it. Nobody has been able to buzz into any unit for 3 months because their account for the service they use for buzzing into units was suspended and they haven't bothered to fix it. I follow up kindly every few days and they ignore me every time. This causes packages to sometimes be unable to be delivered, because while most carriers have a mail code, some don't and attempt to buzz into units. So we have been regularly getting package delivery failures for 3 months. My shower has been slowly leaking water for 3 months. I've opened 3 work orders, 2 of which were abruptly marked as "completed" by 2B Living after a maintenance person either visited and did nothing, or visited and diagnosed the problem and then disappeared from Earth. Every attempt to get someone to fix the leak has required multiple urgent follow-ups, after which they apologize and promise to send someone and then don't do anything. Water billing for my unit is shared across all units, so everyone is paying a higher water bill because 2B refuses to send someone to fix the leak, or keeps sending incompetent people who disappear, and has been doing so for 3 months. Yesterday the SF fire department put a notice that the building has a fire code violation. I sent it to 2B Living and haven't received any acknowledgement. True slumlords. They are constantly unresponsive and unable to do the bare minimum. Living under 2B Living's management is a story of constant background stress, loose mental threads, and begging them through every means I can to please respond to me about basic and urgent problems with the building. I miss the days before they started managing my building, when I trusted that my property manager would ensure the building is not violating SF fire code, the gate to the building remained locked, package delivery people could buzz into tenants' units, and maintenance issues were resolved without pulling teeth. read more

Always starts at the top with solid leadership -- 2B Living has been a super reliable property management service over the past 5 years I've lived in my SF apartment building -- full stop. Life in an old SF apartment isn't easy, as inevitably something suddenly breaks and in those moments, I can count on 2B Living to be there for me to assist and resolve -- and in a timely manner. read more

I love working with Whitney U and Alexis M! They provide excellent client service and always respond to my inquiries and needs immediately. Not only are they responsive but they are also part of an all women Team which I think is amazing! 2B Living, thank you for assigning these ladies for my property! They are awesome. read more

I am sorry but I have to change my previous rating and comment. Application process went south unexpectedly (still hava no idea why), I have not been provided any reason, and the little information I was given was misleading. I also suspect a mistake was made on their end. As if house searching was not stressuful enough, this was not what I needed. read more

I'll begin with nobody paid me to write this review nor gave me any sort of incentive to do it. With that said, hands down the BEST property management company in the area!. I've been with 2B for over 2 years now at two separate locations and just signed another 12 month lease! That should say enough about how well they treat their tenants. I've been with many other property management companies who don't call back out maintenance issues, are not responsive, offer 0 incentives to move with them, and overall have 0 customer service skills. 2B is the opposite! The staff is clear about property details, offer very generous sign on bonuses, have on-call maintenance help, and are always available to help with issues. I've stayed with them due to their consistency over these past 2+ years and they have not disappointed. They greet you with a smile, ask clear questions and never pressure you into anything. If you have a question they answer it, make an effort to follow up on rental signatures and will work with you on details or accommodations. Fantastic team and quality rentals! read more

2B living started managing the apartment building I live in about a year ago, after a new owner transition. They introduced a few modernizing elements, including the ability to pay rent via a mobile app, a washer/dryer that accepted non-coin payments, and the ability to submit maintenance requests via the app. Outside of those three elements, their management style has left residents frustrated & wanting more. Some specific examples are: - They consistently fail to notify the residents when contractors/workers will be on the property, including when a fire alarm test will be happening, not notifying when a power washer will be on the property, leading to water entering apartments through open windows (could have been avoided if proper notification had happened). - They submitted an annual charge to the resident's app with no details or context as to what the charge was covering. It took roughly three weeks to get a response with the correct information. - They give out our front door code often, leading residents to feel unsafe & unsure about who will be in our building at any given time - Not fixing our hallway & lobby lighting for several days, leading to the entire hallway, including the stairwell, not being lit & being dangerous for residents to use. Delivery people also expressed frustration & concern about the lack of lighting. - Property managers are constantly changing without notification, so residents have a hard time knowing who to reach out to when they have an issue or question. - Lack of response to emails or maintenance requests, often leading to really long wait times to get items fixed or even for management to acknowledge a problem. Residents have shared these concerns directly with management, but management has made no effort to fix them. Overall, 2b Living has not lived up to their promises; their lack of communication has left residents feeling frustrated and, at times, unsafe. read more

As renters we appreciate this management company because they listen and respond quickly to requests for maintenance. Repairs have been made on the closet doors in the bedroom which would work for a time. 2B Living then decided to order completely new closet doors which when installed, work well and look great! The maintenance techs who did the work also need to be commended for not only doing a great job, but also making sure that all the old doors were removed and the area left very clean. Thank you. read more

I am a new resident to the 2B living community as of 10/2024. I ran into a few snags in the beginning but, thanks to the professionalism, care and concern, ability and willingness to listen to my concerns and frustrations and create a plan of action two very dedicated team members/specialists, my issues were addressed and resolved expeditiously (Christy Ruiz christy@twobliving.com and Oscar A. Sofia osoria@twobliving.com). It is my hope that management takes note and celebrates these two valuable employees who did their individual jobs exceedingly well. read more

2B Living - Newest Resident to 1930 12th Avenue (2024). - Property Management Near Me - San Carlos, California

I have been living at my current apartment for over 43 years. I am permanently disabled due to a massive heart attack and kidney failure suffered 5 years ago. I live with my 93 year old mother who acts as my caregiver. I have been a victim of harassment and bullying from my neighbor down the hall for over 5 years. And now Elder abuse as I have a caregiver. She has stolen my campaign signs and the last incident was the last straw and this property management company refuses to take action against her. We are in a protected class, yet the incompetent property manager, Christy Ruiz, resized to do anything about the theft, which occurred in July of 25, and the assault on Jan 7, 2025 when this crazy neighbor refused to let me close an elevator door. . As well as trespassing in my elderly neighbors building. Her dog urinating on my car for 90 days. Doxing neighbors all over Social Media cosplaying as a victim. Worst of all, during the incident with the elevator, as she was preventing me from going upstairs,. She was the one who put hands on me first. I told her she assaulted me as she has no right to touch me. She then leans on the door and says "I'm not moving!" I was trying to close the elevator door, Then she starts struggling with me as I was trying to close the door! She says while this is going on as I'm still trying to move her off the door, "you had a heart attack"and still refused to move! . I tried to close the door she refused. All the while she has her dog, a Pitt, on the leash. The dog is not lame as she claims. It's lunged at other dogs. She also leaves it unattended at times in the hall. Eventually, i got the door closed, as the door was closing, she put her hand in the door as the elevator was closing In ANOTHER attempt to put her hands on me! The law states clearly that you are entitled to a rent reduction for the inability to enjoy my home as California rent ordinances clearly state. I called the police, filed a report, emailed this Bush league company, and now they tell me the other tenant is filing an RO against me and they need the police and their legal team involved. The pattern with this tenant is very well known to them. It's been 20 days. I have PTSD from this incident. There are too many to list. The management here is useless. They won't protect your rights. More than happy to cut off of services like the garbage chute or raise rent. If you are considering renting so much as a toothpick from these incompetents, or have a building you need managed, avoid at all costs. You won't be protected. I'm sure the owner is going to chime in with some more bs or revisionist history. But I can assure you, what you're seeing is absolutely factual. Call a good company that protects you. Gaetani comes to mind. Good luck spinning this Brooks. I urge ANYONE experiencing this from this company, file form 516A with the rent board for a rent reduction, contact Adult Protective Services and report it. Get a social worker. Get an attorney. There is no reason to be harassed by a fellow tenant who is cosplaying George Zimmerman. I fear for my 93 year old mothers well, because if she will do it to me, and I'm disabled , why wouldn't she do something like this to her? Due to this prevailing dynamic, you have no choice but to protect your rights. In addition, have many witnesses. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. I'm glad I did! You have no idea how many calls and emails I have made. It's useless. Contact the actual property owner. Hit em where it really hurts. You are protected. I will continue to update this matter. 1/27: Called Brooks @ 10AM Awaiting Return Call read more

I know rentals move extremely fast in the Bay area, so we applied to a house as soon as we finished touring. Initially, there was little communication from the property manager. After we followed up, we learned that someone else signed ahead of us Despite the disappointment, thankfully the leasing agent refunded our application fee because they never checked our credit. As landlords ourselves, we appreciate that they are extremely knowledgeable about locall regulations and stage their properties when move-in ready. read more

Writing this as a new tenant--I am overall pretty satisfied with how 2B Living has managed the move-in and settling in process. Property manager Charlie and maintenance tech Kenny were both present at my walkthrough and highlighted areas that needed attention. Kenny was at my apartment at 8:30am the next business day to start working. They are both very easy to reach and it makes me feel confident that future maintenance issues will be addressed quickly! read more

They are awful. They have been trying avoid rental laws in San Francisco. They tried to take away our parking for earthquake work without any compensation. Thats required by the SF rental laws. We had to go to mediation to get compensation for 3 months without parking. Currently They are trying to pass through charges for utilities that were included in our original leases. By law, they are required to get approval from the city but instead they added them on to our rent. Maintenance requests are done incompletely or not at all but marked as completed. read more

They are my new property owners as of 1/16/2026 and so far so good. I had a maintainence issue and it was handled on one of the three days I said I was available. The mechanic/handyman was polite, professional, quick, and friendly. It reflected well on the company. read more

My property manager Charlie Spence goes as above and beyond as humanly possible - Murphy's law had my water heater, thermostat & power (isolated to my unit) blow off in close succession. Charlie cared to lend support over the weekend (during his family time!) & deployed help! Equally of importance, his electrician Kenny showed up first thing Monday AM, assessed the issue & resolved it! Kenny is a helpful & kind problem solver! Many thanks to this crew! read more

Stayed at 2B for a little over a year while graduating college in Oakland. Was late on my final payment of $1635 since I needed extra cash to move back to Atlanta. The partner of 2B, The Guarantors payed for the default I owned and gave me an option of 1200 settlement right then or 4 months of $408.75 payment. I paid all 4 months in full on time with email proof. I directly spoke to 2B after final payment they said my account was clear. I applied to get a motorcycle as a graduation gift to myself and got denied. Checked my credit profile, turns out 2B sent me to collections for a $1084 change I was NEVER told about. I email the collections company in May with screen shots of the email payments and they never responded. This is not ok. The location is on 6th street. I had a EV bike stolen, multiple packages stolen and was always told it nothing they could do. Didn't ship my car to the west coast cause break in happened daily and they wanted $300 per month to park in a tiny jumpable gated area. The new building I moved into gave me a new aged key that didn't work a smaller % of the time and the code for door is too long to ever remember. I was locked out over night once. Over all very disappointed with the high price low quality. California is being ran into the ground and 2B is extension of the state, beautiful until it's experienced. Do better. read more

5 Stars for Nelly at 2B Living! We have lived at the property for almost a year and a half, and during that time Nelly has been an exceptional property manager. She is consistently professional, responsive, and reliable, always addressing questions or concerns in a timely manner. Her communication is clear and helpful, which has made our experience smooth and stress-free. Beyond her professionalism, Nelly brings a genuine warmth and kindness that we truly appreciate. Our two energetic goldendoodles absolutely adore her, and she is always patient and sweet with them. It is clear she cares not only about the property but also about the people (and pets) connected to it. We are very fortunate to have Nelly as our property manager! read more

I'm writing this as a former resident (around 2022) because a friend was about to sign a lease with them and I wanted to give them a warning. All of these 5 star reviews are definitely paid for, there is no way anyone could possibly like this property management company! I don't even leave Yelp reviews but everyone should know how they operate. When I first signed this lease the woman who showed me the unit said I'd be responsible for "communal utilities," which I have never had to pay for in an apartment building. But she reassured me that it's only going to be around $40 or so a month. Turns out I'm paying almost $150 extra every month for it! This doesn't even include my own personal utility bill! So all together I'm paying $200 + a month for utilities as a SINGLE PERSON IN A ONE BEDROOM. Why am I paying for the hallway stair lights or the 24/7 lit exit signs?? If it's something legally required for you to provide, then how can you charge me for it? I asked multiple times to see the utility bill I'm paying for, which is legally required to provide if a tenant asked to see it, and they never did. I was avoided or told someone would get back to me. As for maintenance, when I moved in my top lock (deadbolt) wouldn't work, they said they would send someone out right away, but never did. It still didn't work by the time I moved out. Then less than a month into living there it rained and my bedroom window leaked everywhere! I sent in a request, and yet again, no one cam to fix it! The hallways were disgusting and rarely cleaned. One time someone's dog defecated in the stairway that lead to the parking garage and they didn't send someone out to clean it for almost a month! Sign at your own risk. read more
