I stayed for two and a half weeks at this lovely little apartment in University City while I was house hunting. It is convenient to highways to get around the area, and it is also a nice place for evening walks (I played count-the-bunnies during my walks, and the sunsets were amazing). Starbucks and a Sprouts grocery store are about a 15 minute walk away.
The apartment itself has just what you need. There’s a small desk if you need to work. The WiFi slowed and then went out a couple times when I was there, but the hosts were fairly prompt about addressing the issue. It’s more than enough for surfing the web but not enough bandwidth for reliable video calls. The bed was comfy, and the hot plate worked great for one-skillet meals. Laundry is accessible, and shared with the hosts.
