Furnished 10x10 room with a semi-private, detached bathroom. Just a 10 min walk from El Cerrito del Norte BART with a view of the bay from your window and throughout the house. This is an ideal situation for a traveling professional, a visiting professional, or a respectful student.
What's in the room:
- Queen bed (a sleep number bed so you can adjust it)
- 2 Nightstands
- Small dresser
- Semi-private, detached bathroom. You'll only share it when I have guests over, which is maybe once or twice every few months, I will give you notice
- Air purifier in the room
- Tower fan / space heater
- Utilities included - Wifi, water, and power
The house:
- A 3 bedroom / 2 bath single family home, only shared with me and the cat
- A friendly adult cat (and probably put some fur on you from time to time)
- Fully stocked kitchen (dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, induction stove, electric oven, electric kettle)
- Laundry in unit in the hallway
- Share common spaces like the living room, kitchen, dining room, back patio, laundry, etc.
- Space for a bicycle in the garage can be arranged
- Plenty of natural light in the living area and views of the bay around parts of the house (you can see the SF skyline and part of Oakland)
- There is no central AC, but there is central heat and a whole house fan I run on hot days
- You can hear BART trains outside the house and in the backyard, but it's not noticeable inside when the windows are closed
- Monthly house cleaner for the common areas and bathrooms included, cause who hates fighting about who cleaned the kitchen sink last?
The area:
- There is plenty of street parking, my block requires a parking permit. However, if you park 1/2 a block up the street there is no permit required, we can also negotiate tandem parking in the driveway on weekdays when the permit may be enforced (It usually isn't but just as a warning).
- Near Safeway, Walgreens, BART/public transit hub, and multiple local restaurants
- Near the Ohlone Greenway, Canyon Trail Park, and Motorcycle Hill
