We offer you a nice furnished bedroom in a 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom house in Palo Alto. Your room will be private; yours alone, no sharing. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Peet's Coffee, Starbucks, Safeway, Walgreens and a myriad of other stores are in walking/biking distance. Your room will include a huge wall closet, a large mattress, a chair, and a desk. You may use beddings provided or come with yours; either is fine.

($1655 rent + $175 utilities). Deposit required; same amount as rent.

We're young professionals living in a house owned by one of us, an alum of a nearby university, who uses the house as a living and working (startup) environment. We're research professionals, interns, and exchange students at Stanford, in the fields of science and technology. So if you are a tech lover, tech intern, or especially if you're an entrepreneur yourself or always wanted to get the startup experience, you fit right in. We also have a friendly cat and a gentle dog. No cooking.

We do not heat our house, cannot have smokers, and would prefer if you're respectful, thoughtful, and orderly.
