Charles Street

I’m looking for ONE awesome roommate to live in the second bedroom (medium sized/small crawl space) beginning May 01, 2024. If your dates are different from this, feel free to message. (short/long-term welcome.) There would be a 1 month trial and if all is going well, could continue until end of 2024 and/or into 2025.

The space is 3 blocks from Commercial Drive, a 3 minute walk from Joe’s Cafe. No laundry. No communal storage. Shared bathroom. Unfurnished room (a bed may be available.)

$960 all inclusive, includes everything/wifi/utilities $480 damage deposit secures the room.

The overall space is relatively quiet and intended mostly for working, reflection, sleep and creative pursuits. This isn’t a party house. Guests are welcome in moderation and in communication with each other. The entire house is furnished so the communal space is best suited for an individual who doesn’t have many items. The room is best for someone who wants simplicity and is comfortable with the home already materially arranged. I’ve found that a one month trial period is ideal for both parties to see if we would work together in a home setting. My outcom e is to find someone long-term however a one month trial is enough time to find out if we can cohabitate. It gives us both trial time to see if we’re a good fit. I would love to live with someone between the ages of 27-45; if you are outside of this age group, feel free to contact me if this ad speaks to you.

For me, I strongly feel that a home is meant to be a place of safety, decompression, a place to unwind and be who you need to be especially as life situations outside the home can often present challenges. Home should be a place of comfort and peace. It’s really important to be able to have a roommate that understands this, is reasonable, mature, communicates and is interested in creating peace in the home.

If interested, please answer the following questions and I’ll respond to those who sound like a good fit. Viewings should take about 30 minutes for us to ask questions and get to know each other. Three references are required if we are interested in living together. Please provide your phone number to arrange a viewing.

1. Age, sex, profession?
2. Mon-Fri working schedule? (Do you work from home?)
3. Are you okay with a one month trial?
4. Preferred duration of rental?
5. Do you cook often?
6. What are you like to live with?
7. Why are you moving out of your current place?
8. What do you do on weekends?
9. If you have a partner, how frequently would they visit you?
10. Your contact number (To arrange a viewing)

I’m looking for someone who: Works or studies full-time, someone who can maintain a healthy balance between being home and spending time outside. A clear communicator who can respectfully share a communal space. Someone healthy and light-hearted, who is respectful and knows when to take space/engage at home. You must be clean and willing to follow a light cleaning schedule; if you’re not a clean person I can say in advance that it won’t work out. Someone who respects quiet after 10:30pm on weekdays (Mon through Fri) and is down to earth, chill and easy-going. If you have a partner, I’m comfortable if they are over once in a while but not as a full-time occupant/in moderation. I’m looking for someone with similar values as mine when it comes to home life.

I’m a woman in my late 30’s and my schedule can vary between full/part-time however I’m very active and maintain a balanced schedule. I cook a lot and value a clean and functional kitchen. I also love electronic music so the person I live with has to be okay with this playing occasionally. (I always play music within respectful hours.)
