Sfbay.Craigslist.Org - Hello potential housemate!
I'm the master tenant of a 2BR flat (been here almost 3yrs) with an unfurnished room that will be available November 1st. My current housemate is leaving because she accepted a job offer in SoCal.
First of all...
...I have 2 male cats (7 & 11 yrs old) who stay indoors and my lease does not allow any more pets.
...Please, DO NOT respond if you have pets of your own you need to move with.
Now that we've cleared that, let's get to the details...
About the flat:
It's a nice yet modest flat with one large common room open to the kitchen, one full bathroom, and two bedrooms. There are neighbors above and below (and on both sides, but they're in different buildings) - everyone is pleasant and our landlord is great.
--> Located near 6th & Folsom - about halfway between CalTrain and Market St Muni/BART (~15 min walk to either)
--> The room available is approx. 11' x 13' with a closet approx. 2' x 5' and has a door to a small back deck.
--> I call the flat "modest" because:
.... there is no dishwasher
.... the only storage spaces are the bedroom closets
.... there is no laundry on-site (BrainWash is ~2 blocks : you can have a beer & fries while you launder!)
--> Street parking only (fairly easy) - residential parking permit required
--> Whole Foods = 2 blocks; TJ's = ~5 blocks; Rainbow = ~8 blocks (note these are SoMa blocks which are longer than typical)
About me:
--> Responsible, respectful, easy-going, sometimes silly, occasionally crafty, 30something, vegetarian, M-F office worker who enjoys laughing, cooking, music, dancing, sewing, camping, movies, photography, and spending time with my friends and felines... and that's just for starters.
--> Mostly tidy but not a clean freak - generally keep any messiness to my personal space, but I'm not perfect.
--> Yes, I'm veg, semi-organic eater, recycler, and user of eco-friendly cleaning products - cuz it makes sense, not because I'm über-hippie-chick.
--> Enjoy partaking in moderation be it alcohol, 420, or an occasional cig (<--outdoors!)
--> Occasionally have a friend or three over but not very often and usually keep it low key.
About you:
--> You are one person, not a couple.
--> Similar qualities to my own : mature, responsible, respectful, self-dependent, conscientious, trustworthy, sociable, low- to no-drama, preferably vegetarian (or don't cook meat at home), enjoy laughing and can do so at yourself, and interested in making this your home for a longer term.
--> Responsible enough to pay rent when it is due and without having to be asked for it.
--> Willing to be friendly and communicative.
--> Able to clean up after yourself and help care for the common spaces (take the trash/recycling out, vacuum, buy tp, etc... when you see these things are needed.)
--> Have no pets of your own but love cats (my boys will love you back x2!)
--> Interested in sharing a dinner, a bottle of beer or wine, and perhaps a movie once in a while.
--> Able to enjoy a drink or smoke in moderation but have no addictions.
Other things to mention:
--> $900/mo includes rent & utilities
--> First, last, and 1/2 mo deposit = $2250 to move in (willing to negotiate payments but first month rent has to clear before I hand over the keys.)
--> I have basic DSL service to share and would like to make it wireless (bonus if you have the means and/or knowledge to set that up!)
--> I do not have a TV and prefer a common space without one but am not solidly opposed (basic cable is available if you connect to the coaxial.)
Still with me? Sweet!
If this sounds like your kind of place then please send an email which shows you actually read this ad and include some info about yourself, your lifestyle, what appeals to you about this situation and why you're a great person to share a home with.
It would be swell if you included a phone number and best times to reach you.
Feel free to ask any questions you've got about the place or myself as well.
Please keep in mind that the more you share about yourself the better idea I'll have if we'd make good housemates and if I'd like to meet you. I know the housing search can be rough but I'd really like for our personalities and lifestyles to be compatible so we can create a comfortable home for both of us.
Thanks for reading and good luck in your search!
