We are a group of Stanford alumni looking for a new housemate.

About the house: The house itself is a 6-bedroom, 4 bath in the Midtown area of Palo Alto. The house is about a 25-30 minute bike ride to Stanford campus, and can work well for a grad student or postdoc, we are also biking distance from Google, Downtown Palo Alto, San Antonio Shopping Center, and Caltrain. There is a large main kitchen, and a smaller kitchen in an attached inlaw unit. We also have a large living room area. We have a spacious backyard that includes a small vegetable garden, a few fruit trees, and a basketball hoop. Laundry machines in the garage. The house has all hardwood floors, and the property management company is responsive and helps us keep it in good repair, including gardening service. Street parking only. Our lease is strictly no pets, sorry.

The available room is in the quieter back corner of the house. Has regular-sized closet, shares bathroom with male housemate. Includes sliding door to backyard. The person in the room next door is a light sleeper, and prefers a quieter housemate here. Single occupancy preferred. This room will be available for move-in early or mid December. Rent is $1400/month. Utilities are not included, but usually run in the area of $70/person/month.

Currently, the housemates are a mixed-gender group of 7 people, all are recent Stanford grads in our late 20s/early 30s, working in a variety of fields in the Bay Area. We are drug-free, non-smoking, some alcohol is ok but none of us actually drink that much. We are a group of gamers, and the house often serves as a venue for boardgames and tabletop RPGs on weekends. We generally cook as a group on weekends and individually during the week. Chores are shared equally among housemates.
