I am subletting my room for the summer. The room is initially available from June 15 to the end of July. However, I am flexible on negotiating a shorter or longer lease.
The room is in a 5 bedrooms house in Redwood city right on the limit with Atherton, west of El Camino on the I-84 (25 minutes from campus either by car or bike - I personally bike to campus everyday) It is a master bedroom with a large sleeping area, a working area with large glass openings to the garden (very nice place to work) and a private bathroom. The room has its private door and, as you can see in the pictures, is really large.
It is fully furnished with:
- A king size bed;
- Two shelving units and a drawer unit
- Two one-person sofas
- A desk with an office chair, a 24 inch screen and a small sound system.
- A long side table (in front of bed in the pictures)
- A closet.
I would remove all my private belongings from the room for the duration of the rental. Common areas include a big living room with a fully equipped kitchen as well as a garden with a small terrasse. I live with 4 other Stanford grad students (econ and physics) who are all friends and with whom I have never had any problem.
The cost is $900/month including all utilities, cable and internet. The rent includes bi-weekly gardening.
The only drawbacks are:
- The low rent for such a place comes with the string attached that the washing machine and dryer are located in the closet in the office area of my room. My roommates are allowed to use it during during the day when I am ok with it (if you work, you probably won't even notice it).
- My roommates can ask to use my bathroom if theirs is occupied during the day and I am ok with it (this does not happen often).
I find these a minor annoyance compared to the price/amenities and location ratio but you might think differently...
Let me know if you are interested or have any other question. I can send you more pictures of the room and common areas.
