I'm looking for someone to move into my apartment in Palo Alto from August 3 (possibly later) for $925 per month plus utilities plus a $1350 deposit.

About the place: This apartment is in a great location, walking distance from the shops on California Avenue and its Caltrain station and convenient to Stanford. It's a spacious and light two bedroom, one bathroom apartment (you would have the larger of the two rooms) with a dishwasher and air conditioner. The living/dining room is furnished and the kitchen decently equipped. Your room has a queen-sized mattress and a small computer desk but is otherwise unfurnished. The only major drawback is that the carpet has definitely seen better days, but I've found some rugs so it's really not so bad.

About me: I'm a male PhD student at Stanford in Environmental Engineering. I'm Australian, but I've spent a good deal of time in Germany and about three years in the US. I'm mostly quiet, but enjoy having roommates I can talk to a bit. I'm pretty easy-going.

About you: You're a non-smoking, non-drug-using (well, apart from alcohol) person who can be pretty relaxed when you need to be. Male or female is OK.
