Hello! I am a grad student subletting my room in a Rains apartment for three months in the summer: from mid-June until mid-September. The room is a single bedroom in a four-bedroom apartment in the Rains houses. The other three students are all guys doing PhDs here at Stanford. One is in econ, one is computer science, and one is electrical engineering.

If you live here, you are close to the trail up to the Dish and you are not too far from the California St. shops either. The window looks out onto a parking lot, which is not scenic, but is quieter than being on a courtyard. The apartment is on the second floor.

Unfortunately, because of Stanford's rules, the place is only open to non-undergrad "Stanford affiliates." If you're not sure if you're a Stanford affiliate, you can look at the rules here:

The rent of $930/month needs to be paid up front for the entire summer along with a security deposit of $450. The rent includes all of the utilities, so you won't need to worry about that.

If this sounds like your kind of place, let me know and we can set up a time for a tour.
