Take a look inside the $5,000-a-month San Francisco apartment that Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes reportedly once called home
Even after Holmes' Theranos officially shut down in late 2018, the former CEO couldn't leave Silicon Valley as she waited to stand federal trial. Holmes and her fiancé were spotted around San Francisco, fueling reports that they were living together in a luxury apartment.
According to CNBC, Holmes and Evans were living at 1340 Lombard Street, located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood.

Their former apartment is located just a few blocks from one of San Francisco's top tourist attractions, the famously crooked block of Lombard Street.
Their apartment was a part of the Lombard Place Apartments, a complex composed of three identical seven-story buildings.

The website for the Lombard Place Apartments describes the complex as a "picture-perfect place to call home" with "panoramic views" and "tons of personality."

The complex is pet-friendly, which meant Holmes and Evans could live there with their Siberian husky. The dog, named Balto, reportedly served as the mascot for Theranos during the company's final days. Balto apparently wasn't potty trained, and was allowed to roam and go to the bathroom wherever he wanted inside company headquarters.

The Lombard Place Apartments are situated atop one of San Francisco's many hills, which afford the units a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

The apartment that Holmes and Evans reportedly called home was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit located on the third floor. Fortunately, the building has an elevator, saving the couple from having to walk up flights of stairs.

The bedrooms are connected by a set of French doors.
The apartment has a washer-dryer in-unit, an amenity that saves them from trips to a nearby laundromat.
The apartment is now available, so it could be yours — for $5,395 a month. In case you're interested, the leasing agent is holding an open house to see the unit on Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
