Hi everyone,

We have a spacious, unfurnished, single master bedroom available in our updated, 4-bdrm, 3-bathroom, 1-story house in Palo Alto.

If interested, please do not reply to the post within the website but reply by directly emailing me Paya at pgupta@post.harvard.edu, thanks!

The monthly rent is $2100 + bills and the room is open to lease and move-in starting July 1 (flexible up to August 1 start-date).
We are looking for someone to join the house for the entirety of the 1-year lease until July 31, 2021 (but can be somewhat flexible for shorter term).

If interested, please email us:
-some info about yourself (e.g., where you are from, school/job info/linkedin profile, fun interests),
-your move-in timeline,
-what you are looking for in housing, and
-a good phone number to call you at to schedule a virtual tour.
Because of Covid-19, we will be doing virtual tours initially.

We are looking for someone to commit until the end of the 1-year lease to Saturday, July 31, 2021.
At the end of the 1-year lease, the roommate can decide whether they want to move-out or renew with the rest of the 3 other housemates for the start of another 1-year lease commitment.

Housemates
The other housemates are all laid-back, respectful, and generally busy, working professionals in their early 30s.
I, Paya, am a female professional and manage the house. I am originally from Austin, TX, went to Harvard University and came out to the Bay Area from NYC to work in private equity and invest in tech companies.
Another housemate Claudia (female, 32) is originally from Seattle, recently graduated from Harvard Law School and works for a tech law firm. She likes to bake and do game nights in her spare time.
The 3rd housemate, Evgeny (male, 32), is from Switzerland, went to grad school at UC Santa Barbara, and is PhD postdoc in Physics at Stanford University. For fun he likes to go swing dancing, cooking, playing complex board games and listening to podcasts.

We are looking for another professional/grad student, non-smoking housemate who is ideally laid-back and clean in common spaces.
Either male or female is fine.
No smoking inside and we do shoes off inside the common areas.
Sorry, no pets and no live-in partners, room is only for 1 person.

If interested, please email me directly at pgupta@post.harvard.edu sharing your contact phone number, ideal move-in date, information about yourself and what you're looking for, with ideally a Linkedin profile link, and we can call you with more information on the house and to schedule a tour of the room and house.

Cheers!
Paya, Claudia, and Evgeny
