Furnished room in friendly shared home, lovely backyard, quick commute

We have a room opening up in our quiet & cozy home at the end of the month. We’re open to shorter or longer term (ideally at least ~4 months) starting in August, but can also be a bit flexible (earlier or later) with the start date.

The place: our house is a lovely Eichler in a quiet neighborhood near a park and walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants. 3 main bedrooms plus a dedicated office, guest bedroom, nicely furnished common space, big windows, and a newly-renovated kitchen that is very well stocked. Plus, an awesome little backyard with lounge furniture, fruit trees, ping pong table, pizza oven, lots of plants, and some exercise equipment (treadmill, stationary bike, yoga mat etc.) We also have 2 affectionate indoor cats but they can be kept out of your room if you prefer.

Our group: mainly Stanford postdocs/researchers in our early 30s. We generally like to be a friendly/social home, and often will hang out a bit in the evenings to cook together, do crossword puzzles, or have friends over for drinks. Of course we are also sometimes busy with work or doing our own things, and keep it pretty quiet/lowkey generally during the week. We'd like to find a housemate who is also interested in maintaining a clean, chill & sociable home environment :)

Location: We live near the San Antonio Caltrain stop right on the Palo Alto / Mountain View border, so it's about a 15 minute bike-train commute to Stanford (or ~5 mins longer by driving). Plenty of parking in the driveway if you have a car, but def not necessary for access to campus, grocery stores, restaurants etc.

Rent is $1200. One other detail is that we have plenty of extra furniture in case you'll need bed/linens/desk or anything like that.
