Room Description:

There are several large living rooms, multiple fridges and freezers for food, and an open floor plan kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans, and kitchen appliances (sous vide machine, mixers, meat slicer, air fryer, etc.) We also have a large backyard area for outdoor BBQ.
Rooms will be unfurnished, but the rest of the house is fully furnished, a foldable NanaWall, projector setup in the downstairs area, home fitness area, and a Japanese style sitting space with tatami mats and a kotatsu.
Location-wise, we are around the corner from Grocery Outlet, a quick walk to the San Antonio Caltrain station, close to multiple farmers markets, and a wonderful bike ride on Bryant Street to Stanford and Downtown Palo Alto.

Lease Details (*Important):
Current lease of the house ends on November 1st, 2023. We are settling down last details of renewing the lease for 1 another year. If you move-in, all 7 housemates would be signing the lease. This means that you would be on the hook for 1 year until October 31st, 2024. If you need to move out earlier, you can definitely find someone for replacement to your room. Should you find replacement, all 7 housemates would be re-signing the lease for the remainder of time until October 31st, 2024.
Description about Current Housemates:
- 5 Male and 2 Females from early 20's to early 30's. Tech Workers, PhD students, interns. We're easygoing and amiable! Everyone is eager to get along and help each other out.
- We love to engage in a nice community life, but we also live independent lives. We have a housemate chat for open communication, to continue good. positive vibes among the housemates.
- We also share going to Costco to buy groceries / etc.
- Decision making process is in unanimity, so everyone has to agree in order to make decisions like lease renewals, covid quarantine policies, etc.

- We have various hobbies, such as cooking, playing the piano, outdoorsy stuff (biking, hiking).
- Quiet Hours: The house will be pretty quiet around from 11PM-12AM, that's when almost everybody goes to their rooms and go to sleep
