$1,000
We are a house of two Stanford medical students (male) that unfortunately will have 1 - 2 rooms available as our NASA and Google engineering friends will leave us for new opportunities outside the Bay. We are looking for young professionals looking for a friendly and warm home environment. We are flexible about start dates but would want someone to join us between May our lease renewal July 1st. We are looking for a long term commitment although we are open to discussing what timing works best for you. Rent is $1,000 for the smaller room within the house and $1,300 for the master bedroom that has its own private entrance (details below). We all split utilities (top tier WiFi, electric, gas, water) consistently around $60-$100 a month. We are open to couples in the master bedroom for $2,100.
Location (I'll save you the Maps Searh https://goo.gl/maps/q2uz9bkfo5bj4TAH7 )
This is a GREAT place to live. We are both coming from Stanford housing and could not be more happy with the location. We are located on Kittoe Dr in Mountain View (will share full address through email).
Google and NASA are a 15 minute bike ride away (per our roommates times) and downtown Mountain View is 10 minutes. The Cal-Train station downtown is extremely reliable and perfect for those looking to commute to Stanford campus or San Jose. We (the med students) usually ride the train to Stanford (15 minutes from our door to the Palo Alto station) or carpool together. We are right next to highway 85 that links up with the 101 to get you to campus within 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.
Downtown also has some great bars and restaurants, we are working our way through trying all of them. In the immediate walking area around us there are a couple shopping centers with a Mexican market, Mexican restaurant, donut shop and cafe that we can highly recommend, as well as a 711 and liquor store for any late night runs. The closest large grocery store is a Safeway within a 5 minute drive, although we tend to make the 10 minute trip to San Antonio shopping center Trader Joes/Target/Whole Foods or Costco (I have a membership that I happily share with everyone in the house who appreciates a $5 rotisserie chicken).
The neighborhood is extremely peaceful and quiet with excellent neighbors and ample (free) street parking in addition to our drive way. If you're into the outdoors Stephen's Creek trail is right nearby and is a wonderful run that links up with the Bay area trails to give you a wonderful view of the water.
The Space
We are part of a 2 unit property. Our neighbor is a lovely couple that has been in the unit for many years now. We share a common drive way that parks 4 cars comfortably.
Our unit is 4 bedroom and 2 bath. It comes equipped with a smart lock, smart thermostat, Wifi speakers throughout, central heating (no cooling but we all have small AC units for the summer time), washer-dryer, and stainless steal appliances. Pictured are the two rooms we are offering. One of these rooms has its own private entrance with its own set of keys. The other room is smaller although it shares the larger of the two bathrooms and comes furnished with all the items pictured. Both rooms have large closets with plenty of storage space.
The common space is where we spend most of our time together and we just bought new furniture for it. The coaches are super comfortable with cushions we made ourselves to. The large window lets in so much light its a great study and work space as well. The big screen TV is paired with a new surround sound system, a chromecast ultra with Disney Plus, Hulu No Ads, HBO Now, and our personal Plex server with a collection of over 600 movies. We always have a whiteboard with a list of movies we will be watching or rewatching over the next month. We tend to have shoes off in the house as well to keep things clean.
We both love to cook and therefore have made the most additions to the kitchen. All the appliances were new for our move-in and all function great. We've added the center island with hidden storage shelves that we use as both a cooking space and breakfast table. We also added in two additional shelves to keep our most used ingredients and cooking tools in easy reach. Not pictured are the instant pot, stand mixer, magic bullet, emulsion blender, and the pride of our kitchen a new air-fryer/convection oven/toaster that we absolutely love.
The backyard gets the most use in the summer, particularly the barbell rack that is usually covered with a canopy to keep the sun away during your workout. There is also plenty of seating space around our firepit. We are working on getting some more patio furniture for some outdoor barbeques and dinners. The washer-dryer is also in the backyard within a small shed. The front yard is made up of red gravel and all the trees and shrubs are taken care by a landscaper that is provided by the landlord.
Your Roommates
As mentioned earlier we are two Stanford medical students entering our 3rd year. We come from Los Angeles and New York and have been best friends since meeting on the interview trail. Surgery and emergency medicine are our respective goals for specialties and we have plenty of gross medical stories and trivia. We love videogames and Smash Bros game nights are a usual. As you can gather we also love movies! Weekly trips to the AMC theater and In-n-Out (within 10 minutes of our place) always have space for anyone in the house. We are both musicians (though we both use electric instruments with headphones so don't worry about a loud drummer in the house) and love arguing about music. We are really easy going and tend to help each other out as much as possible with chores and maintaining a clean space. We want our (new) roommates to feel welcome and part of the house. You are welcome to having guests or SO's over and suggesting ways we can improve the space to fit your needs.
