$1450 Room available in large 2BR/2BTH in MP, 10 min bike to Stanford

We are looking for a housemate for the second bedroom in this beautiful spacious apartment. It is on the second floor of a small house in a very quiet neighborhood (corner of Santa Cruz Avenue and Fremont Street in Menlo Park). Downtown Menlo Park and Trader Joe's are just a couple of blocks away, Safeway a short bike ride, 10 min walk to Menlo Park CalTrain.

You will be renting the second bedroom which is not furnished, has a built-in closet, a bathroom and additional storage space across the hallway. There is also a balcony and a lot light, especially in the morning. You will get full use of the shared kitchen, but light cooking is preferred. The unit has a washer and dryer downstairs, a storage unit (you can lock your bike there) and an open air parking space. Our landlord doesn't allow any pets.

Lease starts September 1st and is for one year. The rent is $1450 + utilities (internet, electricity and gas, your share would be about $60 in the summer and $75 in the winter). Deposit is also $1450, to be returned when vacating the unit.

We are a couple from the Czech Republic aged 34 and 31, a postdoc in the Chemistry department and a program associate at a local foundation. We mostly work, go to the gym, hang out at home in the evenings and sometimes travel over the weekend. We are not the most social of housemates and mostly keep to ourselves. We are looking for someone who is tidy and organized, we expect you to clean up after yourself and keep the place nice. You should be a good and easy communicator. If interested, please write a little about yourself and when you want to stop by to have a look at the place and introduce yourself. We will be generally available after 8pm during the week, on weekends it depends, please suggest a time.

Attached is a photo of the bedroom.
