Hi! I’m Arlo, I’m a 25 year old French PhD student at Concordia studying Film and Moving Images. I moved from Paris not too long ago and am currently staying in Hochelaga but have had an unexpected change of situation with my flat and need to move out by mid July –would love to find somewhere in Hochelaga still but am open to anything on the green line! My budget is about 750 CAD max, and I can be flexible about move-in date – just basically need a place to stay by July. Ideally looking for a flat with a renewable lease as I am meant to be staying in Montreal til at least 2030.
I’ve been living in flatshares since I was 17 (in London and Glasgow), I like being around people and socialising, ie going out, having a chill one at the pub, or just hanging at the flat and cooking or having a movie night. Also like having my own space and respecting other people’s need for that so I’m very happy to have a balance between yapping and hanging out and being a gremlin in my room to recharge. In terms of living with people, I think communication and respect are key values – I tend to let a bit of chaos in my own space but I’m very careful in common areas and think it’s good for everyone to be responsible and respectful about the flat in general.
I’m from Paris originally but have been moving around a bit – I love travelling and meeting new folk etc etc. In terms of hobbies, I love cinema and talking about cinema (horror in particular) and going to the movies, swimming, crafts, going to gigs (punk, psych rock, post-punk, HC punk…), reading, sometimes writing, going antique shopping, taking long main character-esque walks with a podcast or tunes on, and cooking!
I also have my eye on some 2/3/4 person properties on marketplace so would be v keen on teaming up w people to look.
Feel free to pm me about anything else x
