One furnished room in a two bedroom house available for sublet till 30th Nov. You can rent with the owner for longer after that. Located close to the intersection of Sand Hill and Santa Cruz in Menlo Park, 8 min bike ride from Stanford hospital, 6 min bike ride from SLAC, 3 min bike ride from the nearest Safeway/Starbucks/shopping plaza, served by the SLAC marguerite shuttle. The house has a front yard and a big back yard. Perfectly safe neighborhood, the owner sometimes walks her dog outside late in the night, I leave my 1000 dollar bike outside locked with a cheap chain lock.

Absolutely great location, without doubt.

The owner is a very nice and kind Indian lady in her 50s. She is the CEO of a small web company and works from home mostly. She doesn't like partying, loud music, excessive cooking, noise, distractions in the house as she is working most of the time. She talks a little too much but may be only I feel that because I talk little. But she is a very nice and kind person, she has treated me like her son. I am moving out because my wife is going to join me soon for an extended stay and I would like to have our own separate place.

Rent: $1300 per month. Utilities (water, electric, garbage, high speed internet) extra, they amount to about $50 per month per person. Deposit: one month's rent. If you continue renting with the owner after Nov, she will ask for 2 month's deposit.
