I'm D, an early 30's male, who has lived in Oakland for the past 5 years, and am originally from Detroit. I'm a small business owner in the area, and enjoy ceramics, rock climbing, running, working out, hiking, live music, and am a bit of a film buff. I travel frequently, and enjoy a healthy balance between a social life and leisure. I drink socially, but everything in moderation. 420 friendly, but I don't smoke regularly myself. I regularly share my meals and baking with roommates (when I'm not relying on takeout!) A: I'm A, a 29-year-old Male, who has lived in Oakland now for 3 years, but am originally from St. Louis. I work from home as a financial analyst, and enjoy playing/watching sports (basketball is my favorite), live music, hiking, playing music, and trying new food (let me know your favorite spot)! I drink socially and am 420 friendly, but nothing too crazy. I also absolutely love animals, so having a pet is a plus in my book. Our current roommate, (M), is moving out at the end of May. We need somebody to replace him around this time. We are somewhat flexible on timeframe. Your room will come unfurnished (unless you want to purchase any of their current furniture). The rest of the house is already furnished. You are ideally in your mid/late 20s- early 30s, and share similar interests. I have friends over sometimes, and don't mind social gatherings, but this isn't a UCB house. The vibe is a laid-back atmosphere, dinners/meals sharing, cleanness, and chill without being hyper-sensitive to noise. I'm pretty clean, and have a Roomba for the floors, but am chill about it. If you're interested, please contact me with your target move-in date, a short bio about yourself, and any questions. One bedroom for rent in a 3Br2Ba house. Rent is $950 a month + your share of the utilities. First + last months, and a security deposit are required. No short-term, looking for a 1-year lease (or longer). The rental company will also require you pass a credit check. No couples. Dogs are welcome; $100 / month extra. Sorry, no cats due to an allergy. The entire house will be professionally cleaned at the time of M's move-out.
