Description

I have a clean, quiet, peaceful studio in-law apartment to offer. I've been living here for almost three years and I love it. It is a studio, but it's a large one and I've set it up so that it has a separate sleeping area that's isolated from the kitchen/living room area.

It has a large and very comfy double bed, a large bathroom with a wonderful shower, a gas stove and oven, lots of space for a studio and lots of light. It's extremely clean. DSL internet is available and I have a 21-inch monitor you can hook your laptop up to. I have a large closet with full-length mirrors and a chest of drawers for you to put your stuff in. There is also more storage space in the garage, though there's nowhere to put a car. I have a cycle that you're free to use.

It's on the ground floor at the back of a private house, but it does not open up directly onto the street so it's very secure and quiet. It gets plenty of light and has a back glass door that opens onto a nice garden. It has its own private entrance and is at the back of the house so there is NO street noise.

It's available approximately June 1 to August 5, and I'm flexible about dates; I'd even consider a rental situation rather than an exchange. I do have a car but we'd have to discuss that.

Neighborhood

The apartment is in a tidy house close to City College of San Francisco (walkable or a few mins by car or bus), San Francisco State University, Highways 101 and 280 (easy onramp access), and MUNI, BART, and several bus lines (14, 29, 52, 24).

It's in a quiet, residential neighborhood close to Mission Street, in the Outer Mission/Excelsior neighborhood. A quick drive, bus, or cab ride gets you downtown to clubs or down to the Mission for any kind of food or bar you could want to visit.

It's also a 15-minute drive to the coast (Ocean Beach or Pacifica), and its surfing beaches. I would be happy to leave you my surfboard and a wetsuit if you like and if you're my size.

About Us

I'm an instructor in the English department at CCSF and I travel every summer. The woman who lives upstairs is the owner of the house, she is very busy and you won't even know she's there.

I'm a surfer and a writer. I've lived in Europe and went to school in England.


I speak very good Portuguese, decent French and Spanish.

You probably care more about the house than about me--I won't be there! So write and ask any questions you have.

Destination

I would be willing to trade for a Stockholm apartment/flat/studio or a Finnish cabin in the lake district.

If it's Stockholm, my dates will be May 29-June 2 AND July 22-August 5. That's when I'll be there.

If it's Finland, it would have to be July. 1 or 2 weeks. I prefer somewhere near Mikkeli.

Norway--I'm open-minded. I'll be there in June. I'm interested in Bergen and environs in particular.

I would also consider a rental or partial trade.
