Seeking to fill a room in a two-bedroom apartment in Palo Alto by February 1st, but an earlier move-in is also possible. The location is situated in a quiet neighbourhood, but the heart of downtown Palo Alto is only a 5 minute walk away. The room is large with a sizeable closet, and furnished with a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a dresser. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and decked out with several appliances including a dishwasher. There’s a dining room with great light throughout the day, a small balcony with a rocking chair perfect for relaxing, and a living room with numerous books, a projector, and a record player. Laundry is just below the apartment and coin-operated. All of the sites of interest in the surrounding area are within walking distance. -2 minutes to the Caltrain (where shuttles leave for Stanford), -5 minutes to the bars and restaurants of downtown Palo Alto, -5 minutes to Stanford Shopping Centre (clothing stores, Chipotle, Shake Shack), -10 minutes to Whole Foods, -20 minutes to Trader Joe’s and the rest of Town and Country Village, -30 minutes down Palm Drive to Stanford itself. The other occupant (me) is a Graduate Student in Literature at Stanford. I keep things calm and quiet (reading most of the time) but also enjoy cooking, going for hikes, and (in non-COVID times) frequenting bars and concerts. I also have a nut allergy, so unfortunately nuts are a no-go in the kitchen. Rent is 1400 plus utilities, and a $500 security deposit would be requested upon confirmation. Preference will be given to someone willing to commit until August. Please send me a message and introduce yourself. I look forward to hearing from you.
