Posting on behalf of a friend. She's a graduate student at Columbia and is traveling here to do research at Stanford for about 1 month starting mid-April:

“Hi, I’m a PhD candidate in history at Columbia University, and I’ll be in Palo Alto for research from mid-April until mid-May approximately. I’m looking to sublet a studio or 1-bedroom close to Stanford, ideally below 2,000 dollars. Thank you!”
