A housemate is leaving our great Palo Alto House just 2 blocks from Stanford. The neighborhood is called College Terrace and is quiet, close to Caltrain, Trader Joes, Stanford, restaurants, coffeeshops and the highway. If the ad is up, the room is still available with preference given to someone who can sign the lease and move in on July 1st.

There are two bedrooms upstairs with one bathroom and two bedrooms downstairs with another bathroom. You'd be in one of the bedrooms upstairs and would be sharing a bathroom with one other person. The available room is 9ft x112 ft large. There's a huge sliding closet on one side. It has both a large window and a skylight above. Take a look at the photos.

Outside of the room, the house has hardwood floors throughout. The place includes:

-full kitchen with dishwasher
-washer and dryer in unit
-furnished living room, great for hosting
-a wonderful backyard that is fully fenced
-a garage that we use to easily store bikes or a car
-new kitchen appliances, such as a gas stove (important if you cook like me)
-4 bedrooms: 2 on the first floor, 2 on the second
-no pets or smoking, though the roommates and landlord may consider a pet
-Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and downtown Palo Alto are just a 10 minute bike ride
-5 minute bike ride to Caltrain
-right next to Stanford
-lots of storage space (two utility rooms and tons of closets in the garage)
-TONS of windows and great light, including a skylight in the kitchen

Currently, we are 3 medical students. Overall, we like to cultivate a respectful but open environment in the apartment, whereby we all do housework, love to occasionally get together for coffee/meals and communicate openly (talk about house issues, let each other know if guests are coming, etc.). We're generally looking for people who enjoy housemates and aren't just looking for a place to stay and sleep.

Rent is $1350/month plus utilities which run about $100-$200 depending on the season, and you'll have to pay first and last month's rent upon move in. The landlords are looking for someone to sign the lease for one year. Also, you'd pay a one month deposit when moving in, which you'll get back when you leave.

If you're interested, please email back and tell us a little about yourself including what you do, what your schedule's like, and your availability to come see the place. Male or female welcome!
