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.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
