About me: Mid-career PhD student/researcher at Stanford in my mid-30s. Very health and fitness oriented- moonlight as a personal trainer. Kind, gregarious and considerate of others. I also am a proud parent of the world's greatest dog- a 5 year old Irish Terrier (non-shedding, hypoallergenic, intensely-loving) called Malcolm.

The room is available for short-term rental- one or multiple weeks at a time, or slightly longer terms 2-3 months or longer considered for the right person. Looking for clean, tidy, professional, friendly respectful people. Must love dogs. Prefer people who are similarly health and fitness oriented- absolutely no-smokers allowed- but that also enjoy a good meal and a glass of wine from time to time. For shorter-term stays, couples are also welcome (for a slightly higher price).

All Inquiries welcome and considered.
