Exchange Zones

My apartment is a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom with tub, about 800 square feet, in a vintage 1920's building. Lots of sun light, hardwood floors, crown moldings, vintage charm. It has a dishwasher and a microwave, cable TV, wifi internet, and laundry. Street parking. Queen sized memory foam mattress. 52" LCD television, DVR, small 1950's vintage dining table in living room. Full kitchen access. Apartment is accessed by either a main stair case (on 2nd floor) or an elevator. There is also on-site coin operated laundry, and a locked room to store your bike.

Neighbors in the building are quiet, but friendly. A nice mix of singles and couples, ranging in age from 30's to 50's. Nice mix of artists and professionals, from all ethnic backgrounds and walks of life. The building manager lives on-site.

The apartment is located in the back of the building and looks out onto the building's own private peaceful garden, with bench seating, a heat lamp, and multiple BBQ's. It is just 1 block to Lake Merritt and Fairy Land, 2 blocks to Whole Foods market, and walking distance to BART which takes you into San Francisco in about 15-20 minutes. It is also just a few blocks to the freeway on-ramp which takes you to San Francisco or Berkeley (for those of you with a car).

The apartment is also walking distance to the Grand Lake shopping district and theater, cafes and bars. (Check out Coach Sushi, The Alley bar, and Neecha Thai!) This area also offers shopping like Trader Joe's, Walgreens and the Saturday Farmer's Market near the Grand Lake Theater. The apartment is also walkable to the Uptown district with it's many bars, restaurants, and the famous Paramount and Fox Theaters. And, you are a very short drive (maybe 1 mile) from the hip Jack London Square area with it's many shops, restaurants, bars, etc (try Yoshi's Jazz lounge or the Fat Lady Cafe!). The best part is being able to walk right outside the building door, taking a stroll around Lake Merritt, and then finishing the day with a bite to eat and a cocktail on the pier of the Lake Chalet (Check out their Taco Tuesdays!). If you love the water, the Lake Merritt Boat House even offers romantic gondola rides as well as renting a canoe/kayak for athletic types that want to explore the lake themselves.

The apartment has rooftop access, which gives you great views of the city. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Parking is on the street, and does not require a permit.

I am seeking 1-2 people who are very mature, quiet, non-smokers, no pets, clean, responsible, and will respect both my personal belongings, and my neighbors.

I am looking for similar accommodations...a studio or 1 bedroom, that is central to all. Swap can be anywhere from a few days to a month.

No pets, no smokers, no partiers please.

If you are interested, please email for more information and photos. Thanks!
