Room in Large Sunny 2br/ba Downtown Palo Alto

Hello!

I'm a female postdoc at Stanford and my fabulous sweet roommate is leaving so I'm looking for someone to take her place. We have a beautiful sunny 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment just a few blocks from downtown and 4/5 blocks from Whole Foods. We are also close to the Caltrain.

The rent is $2000 + electricity + internet + $100/month for cleaning (negotiable if you are super clean and prefer not to have someone come to clean).

The apartment is furnished (though a couple of things my roommate may take with her, like the TV), but I'm also open to replacing some of the furniture if you have your own. Your room would be unfurnished. Your bathroom has plenty of cabinet space and a shower/bathtub.

The apartment was completely renovated right before we moved in last year with new wood floors, all new surfaces/granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and new paint etc.

We live on the top floor of the complex and have a large balcony (only half visible in picture) with a table outside and a little herb garden (basil, chives, tarragon, thyme, sage, dill). The apartment complex has a nice yard as well with a table, and a large garden including a fig tree, an orange tree, a lemon tree, and a lime tree!! It's lovely to pick fruit from them or just run right downstairs if we need a lemon!

Your room is large (13x11) with ample closet space. We also have three extra large hallway closets that you can use, so plenty of storage. The apartment is 1100 square feet, not including the balcony.

The kitchen is nice, though not large, with adequate counter space on either side, a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, and plenty of cabinet space in beautiful new wood cabinets (a LOT).

It's possible to get a permit to park on the street and there may be an available covered parking spot as well.

It's so convenient, I walk almost everywhere, and it's also walking distance to Stanford (30-35 minutes) and the free Stanford Shuttles (~15 minutes).

I can send you more pictures if you are interested and/or would be happy to show you the place. SUPOST won't let me put many pictures and it says the file size is too large.

A little bit more about me: I am happy, easy-going, love my life, work a lot, love flowers and nice food and being in the joy of the moment. When I'm not working I like to exercise (spin, pilates, yoga, trx, barre, hike etc), read, and go out to eat or spend time outside with friends. I'm fairly clean and would love to live with someone that loves to live in a clean space, but also I would never be upset with you if you leave a dish in the sink once in a while. My current roommate and I are friends and occasionally borrow an egg from each other or get dinner or a Chinese massage together and I'd love to live with someone I can be friendly with!

Looking to find someone that can move in June 1st (might be slightly flexible for you to come earlier).
