I have a short-term, ongoing, and flexible sublet opportunity that I would like to pass along to people affiliated with the University: students or post-docs, traveling faculty, conference attendees, etc. Dates can be flexible, especially given advance notice. In some cases I will have the ability to schedule my travel around someone's housing needs. Between a hybrid job in Seattle and other travel, I am finding that I am often gone from my Berkeley apartment for a few weeks at a time. My landlord has given me permission to sublet for short periods of time (up to 28 days), and so I am looking to find people with short-term housing needs who would be respectful of the space and neighbors (we have a lovely community on my street). It's a charming, light-filled one-bedroom apartment in a 1920s building four blocks north of UC-Berkeley. It's furnished with a queen size bed, a comfy futon in the living room, adjustable height sitting/standing desk, fast wifi, a deep bathtub, colorful decor, and very happy plants! I have a cat and hypoallergenic dog who come with me or stay with friends when I travel--it's maybe not for those with a severe cat allergy. Note on parking: This could work for someone who drives to a 9-5, who doesn't have a car, or who has a separate parking solution. Parking is street (zone G in Berkeley residential parking), and so not readily available at least during the day M-F (would need to move the car every 2 hours). No issues to park on evenings and weekends...

At HousingAnywhere, in-person viewings are not supported — so everyone has an equal chance to rent, no matter where you are in the world. To help you make an informed decision, we recommend:
Use the ‘Message landlord’ button to start a secure conversation on our platform. You can ask questions, discuss terms, and safely exchange documents.
Keeping your conversation on HousingAnywhere protects your privacy and helps you avoid scams. All your messages are also saved in one place for easy access and as a record of your agreements.
Once your rental is confirmed, we’ll share the landlord’s contact info so you can arrange your move-in.
Tenant Protection is our service to help you rent with peace of mind. We hold all payments you make through our platform before move-in, including the first month's rent and any deposit. After you arrive, you have 48 hours to check that the place is as you expected. We only send your money to the landlord if everything is okay.
Watch this short video to see all the ways we keep you safe, from secure payments to support with finding a new place. For more details, you can also read about Tenant Protection.
