Apartment Hunting

Now that I'm pretty sure that I would go work in Fremont, I need housing near Mt. View. I found one that's near Gladys and Tyrella in Mountain view. About 15 miles from Bizlink or Lite-On (I hope I got that position: Sr. Logistics/Sales Support Coordinator). That position is very similar to that with Nanya Technology. I might get the chance to travel to Taiwan and Mexico.

As for the apartment, here's the ad:

a furnished 'loft room' is available NOW in a designer townhouse.

HOUSE: this is a 3 bedrooms / two bathrooms house, very peaceful, full of light, cozy, nicely furnished, plenty of amenities, wireless internet, cable TV, kitchenware, dish and laundry washers, fireplace. Total remodeling just completed: fresh paint and tiled floors throughout the house and the patio, new IKEA furniture etc. Double carport and plenty of parking both off and on the street.

COMPLEX: small group of semi-heichler townhouses, paired by two, surrounding the private park and the swimming pool of the complex. It's very quiet, few kids and few people using the pool. LOCATION: Desirable, quiet and safe neighborhood, right off 85, 101, 237 and Central Xwy. Stevens Creek Park & Trail entry is just outside home. One mile from downtown & Caltrain, half mile from light rail.

ROOM: is a loft above the living area, but closed /sealed from downstairs. Large (14 x 11 ft), hardwood floor + area rug, huge windows on two sides overviewing the park, slanted wood ceiling. Shares a full bathroom (remodeled, with natural stone tiles) with one roomy. The pic was taken before furniture was added. There now are shelves, a huge built-in desk, a full size bed (brand new mattress), chest of drawers, closet area.

ROOMIES: two friendly guys: Andrea, an Italian professional GWM employed at HP, and Dan, a SWM from the east coast who is working on his PhD in Linguistics. The house environment is very nice and relaxed: we have a good balance of sociality, friendship and privacy. If we are home together at night we may enjoy sharing a meal and chat or watch a movie together. We're not home much though due to work and other activities (Andrea teaches an evening Italian class and roams the bay on his sailing boat on sunny weekends). We have no pets.

RENT: $ 750/m, includes DSL, water/sewage, garbage, cable TV; gas and electric (it's about a 150$ value included in the rent!). First and last month requested, no deposit. YOU: young professional, intern or student; shorter term is OK; respectful, easygoing, no drama or drugs, helps keep place clean, no TV addict, not frequent cooker esp.of heavy/smelly food ;-). Occasional guest OK. If you come for short period and won't have a car, you can use use my bycicle.

ALSO: Andrea will be out of the country in June / September and will sub-rent his furnished master bedroom for 1000$/m during that period.
