About 1440 Mercy St
* Furnished back-yard cottage studio unit available for leases of 3-7 months * Available March 1, 2026 Welcome to our little paradise! The French doors of this cute well-lit garden cottage open to a view of lavender, succulents, persimmons, strawberries, and vines. The front patio is perfect for morning yoga and evening wine, both of which pair well with the fluttering hummingbirds that feast on the plants! Get a great night's rest on the comfy queen bed, watch TV, and cook yourself a great meal in the kitchenette. In addition to the rent, we ask for a $125 per month utility contribution (which covers high-speed Internet, water, gas, electricity, recycling, garbage, sewer, and lawn service), $80 per month cleaning fee (for which we provide twice-monthly cleaning), and $20 per month tenant insurance. Note that these fees are *required*; it's possible the site you're viewing this on says these fees are optional. Also note that the monthly rent varies based on demand and seasonality. Here are the current 2026 rents: -- March and April: $2100 (plus above fees) -- May and June: $2250 (plus above fees) -- July, August, and September: $2350 (plus above fees) -- October and following: please reach out to us Further details: The space Nestled in the back yard of a home in the Old Mountain neighborhood, providing great privacy, this delightful, bright, and furnished cottage has a perfect location: just a few minutes' walk to downtown Castro Street, Caltrain, the VTA light rail, and the pickup locations of numerous corporate shuttles, including the big G, LinkedIn, the big M, NASA, Symantec, etc. The main room has a queen-sized bed, a comfy couch, a dining nook, a smart TV, and a raised work desk with chairs. You can watch Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc. via your own account. The French doors provide ample streams of sunshine, and the room itself is very well lit. The kitchenette has a toaster, coffee maker, bar fridge, and sink, as well as a convection microwave (instead of a traditional oven) and two tabletop induction hot plate (instead of a traditional stove). We can also provide an air fryer. While you can cook great meals using the hot plates, microwave, and optional air fryer, note that the kitchenette is small and not really equipped for gourmet cooking. Please also note that there is no dishwasher. The bathroom is spacious, with a large shower/tub and a sink, and a large skylight for maximum natural light. There is air conditioning -- a portable unit, vented through a window. Guest access You'll have complete and exclusive access to the cottage, including the main area, the bathroom and the front patio. The driveway, the area leading to the cottage, the back yard, and the washer and dryer in the garage are shared with the residents of the front home -- us! You're always welcome to use the back yard barbecue, and when we entertain in the back yard (roughly twice a month), we'd love to have you join us! We've met some of the most fascinating people and formed some cool connections with guests. That said, we have 100% respect for guest privacy, and we follow guest cues regarding interaction with them. Regarding the above cleaning fee and associated twice-per-month cleaning, we do this to keep the space in great condition. Please note the following: - The cottage is in the back yard of another home. You have exclusive access to the entire cottage, including the main room, the kitchenette, and the bathroom.
