A home away from home... in Atherton! (short or long term)

A home away from home... in Atherton! (short or long term)

Shared Atherton housing (available wk-to-wk, mo.-to-mo. or with a 6 mo. commitment)
centrally located at Atherton/Menlo Park border (map) 4 blocks from dwntwn Menlo Park

Are you a professional or visiting scholar looking for a nice "home away from home"? Looking for a *real* place to stay (instead of corporate housing) -- with all the amenities -- when you're on a corporate consulting job?

Or perhaps you are a professional looking for a great place to live longer term?

This is the place for you: relax by the 50 ft pool, swim laps, walk a few minutes to downtown Menlo Park, Café Borrone, Left Bank, the BBC, or take a 5 minute car/10 minute bike ride to downtown Palo Alto and Stanford...  have friends/colleagues over for BBQ in the large sunny park-like back yard, enjoy the Atherton Lifestyle!

The house is large 4 bedroom, 3000 sq. ft. home on a 1 acre property, and is shared equally among the housemates (myself and a visiting Norwegian researcher at SLAC), so there lots of living space, both indoors and outdoors: living room, dining room/sun room, rose garden patio & dining set, plus two poolside dining areas. Plus, the living room is equipped with a 120" pull-down screen & video projector for watching movies.

The bedroom is spacious (15x16 ft), bright, fully furnished with a queen sized bed, desk, dresser, cable TV, computer as well as high-speed wireless Internet (12Mbs) access (that even works poolside), with adjacent bathroom, perfect for anyone looking for a place where everything is provided.

About myself: I'm (originally) from Swedish and a Stanford physics phd currently working for an Internet startup (yes, they still exist!). I'm independent, friendly, respectful, fun (at least I hope I am ;-) and enjoy sailing, reading, friends and the occasional dinner/bbq/pool party.
