The monthly rent is $2200 + bills and the room is open to lease and move-in starting Saturday, August 1 (flexible earlier move-in date anytime in July if needed).
We are looking for someone to join the house for the entirety of the 1-year lease until July 31, 2021.

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) 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/couples, room is only for 1 person.

If interested, please email me at pgupta@post.harvard.edu, sharing your contact phone number, information about yourself and what you're looking for, 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
