I'm subletting a furnished one-bedroom in Oakland's walkable and bikeable Temescal neighborhood for the summer. My dates are flexible.
The apartment includes a spacious living room with a desk/work area, big windows, hardwood floors, and a separate bedroom space. (I've got plenty of extra linens if ever you want to put up a friend on the couch.) The kitchen is well-equipped — I love to cook so you should have everything you need (InstantPot, dutch oven, plenty of pots and pans and tools.) The one downside — no dishwasher. (I also don't have a TV, FYI).
The apartment is on the third floor of a building with no elevator. Laundry in the building. Utilities/internet included in the rent. I keep my space quite clean, so looking for someone who will also treat it with care.
I live in what I consider Oakland's best neighborhood for folks in their 20s/30s — you'll find plenty of restaurants on the San Francisco Chronicle's Top 100 list, great bars, and plenty of great boutiques and shops.
I'm also a 10-minute bike ride or 20-minute walk from Rockridge, another great walkable Oakland neighborhood. The MacArthur BART station is a 10-min walk away, and gets you into San Francisco in 20 minutes. If you need to get to San Jose, I bike 15 min to Amtrak, which gets you there in 1h20.
For groceries, I usually bike to Whole Foods (5 min bike ride, 20 min walk.) There's also a farmer's market in my neighborhood on Sundays! I'd be happy to let you borrow my bike so long as you lock it up/don't leave it anywhere overnight!
Hey there! I'm going to be traveling this summer and want to make sure there's someone in my space while I'm away. I love biking, yoga, reading, cooking and concerts. By day, I work as a reporter at a local newspaper.
I've got a bunch of pals in my neighborhood who you can reach out to if there's ever a problem with the space. Happy to show you the space (either in person or Facetime).

Please send along the names of two references. I'll also have you sign a lease agreement and pay a deposit of $300 that I'll get back to you at the end of the agreement if there's no damage/excess cleaning needed. (I'm also happy to provide references from folks who have stayed at my place before!)
