You have two rental options: If you put the water, gas, and electric bills in your own name, your rent is $2,350/month, but I'm discounting it to $2,150 for the first three months. If I keep these utilities in my name, your rent is $2,500/month, but I'm discounting it to $2,300 for the first three months. With this option, your rent includes the first $150 of utilities. EITHER WAY, we pay for trash pickup. There's a queen-sized sofa bed in your living room (with a Sealy Posturepedic mattress), as well as a queen -sized Swedish foam mattress in your bedroom. Your bathroom is big, sunny, and has a full-sized bathtub. Your entrance is in the fenced back yard, which has fruit trees, bamboos, and when the weather is nice, you can enjoy my private fenced backyard, which has a table and two chairs. - 650 square feet (bigger than many 2-bedroom apartments) - Sunny windows on three sides - Two closets, including a huge bedroom closet - Extra-large kitchen with huge sunny window - Dining area separate from kitchen RECENT RENOVATIONS: - New double pane windows - New kitchen cupboards - New heater - New Pergo flooring (looks like hardwood) - New paint - New fridge - New stainless steel kitchen sink - New bathroom vanity - New faucets, doorknobs, ceiling lights, etc. It's in a safe and quiet part of Oakland, minutes from Berkeley and Rockridge (an upscale neighborhood with great ethnic restaurants.) - Quiet street with trees, not a through street - The only people who drive here are the neighbors. - Area is very flat, so it's easy to bike around town. The UC Berkeley campus is about 2 miles away. If you want to take a bus there, you can catch the AC transit bus one block from my house. It's also an easy bike ride (2 miles away). It's about 1 mile from the nearest BART subway stations (Ashby or Rockridge), and a little more than a mile from Whole Foods and the locally famous Berkeley Bowl. The AC Transit bus (which stops one block away) can take you to the subway station, the grocery store, or the UC Berkeley campus. By car, you'll be about 8 minutes from the Bay bridge. You get one offstreet parking spot. There’s plenty of space to park on our street, and no permit is required. For your personal laundry, there are two door-to-door laundry services nearby that will pick up your laundry, wash, dry, fold, and return it the next day: Hambrick Laundry and J&L Laundry.

It is clean, there is parking, there are large skylights and plants inside. ABOUT EMFS To reduce EMFs in my triplex, I’ve covered all three of my building’s Smart Meters with faraday cages.
