TOTAL COST
Monthly Cost: $2,700
Total monthly cost includes rent, high speed internet, and utilities (water, electricity, garbage, WiFi). Same price whether furnished or unfurnished.

AVAILABILITY
This home is available starting September 1, but we're flexible on the sublease start date, ideally you'll move in sometime in September or October. The sublease term is for one year, with the option to renew.

ABOUT THE SPACE
The apartment is thoughtfully set up with everything you need:
Living room with sectional sofa, coffee table, dining table and chairs
Bedroom with queen bed, dresser, nightstands
Second room currently set up as a home office, but can be used as a second bedroom
Fully stocked kitchen with cookware, dinnerware, and appliances
Outdoor front garden with herb planters
Bonus: Enjoy your own home theater experience with a projector and screen
* Furnishings are flexible. We are happy to accommodate your preferences.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Located in the heart of North Temescal, everything you need is within walking distance: grocery stores, restaurants, parks, coffee shops, laundromats. Highlights include: Berkeley Bowl grocery store, Nick's Pizza, and Nomad Cafe right on the corner.

TRANSPORTATION
5-minute walk to Ashby BART (Downtown SF in ~30 mins, Downtown Oakland in ~20, Downtown Berkeley in ~5). Multiple AC Transit bus stops nearby on Shattuck Ave. Easy street parking on a quiet, dead-end street.

CONSIDERATIONS
The apartment is on the older side and shows some normal wear and tear. Everything functions well, but if you're looking for brand new appliances and high end finishes, this may not be the best fit.

We ask that you please keep noise levels low after 10pm for the sake of our neighbors. If you're a night owl, like to throw parties, work a night shift, etc, then sadly this is not the apartment for you.

On-site laundry is not included, but there's a nicely maintained laundromat one block away that's open daily till 9 p.m.

There's plenty of street parking available because we're located on a looped, dead end street. We've never had any issues getting a good spot.
