Kabir's room

Downtown, ON M5S 1G1

Hi! I have a fairly large furnished room in my beautiful home on a quiet green street, super conveniently located near College and Bathurst. $1250/month, all utilities are included (Internet, heating/AC, laundry, etc.) + $25 monthly cleaning fee.

100% score for public transportation:

• Bathurst subway: 7 minute walk.
• Bathurst streetcar: 30 second walk.
• Harbord bus: 1 minute walk.
• Bike Share station: 30 second walk.

Your bedroom is at the top of the stairs on the second floor. It has a big window that looks out over the big tree and backyard oasis, so it feels like a treehouse! There is also a smaller window that lets in even more light. My daughter’s room and my room are also on the second floor.

The upstairs bathroom is shared with me and my daughter (when she is there, half the week). It has a double sink, so you can make one your own. There is also a small “powder room” type bathroom on the 1st floor. You also have full use of the kitchen, living room and dining room on the main floor, including the projector and screen for movie nights. You can also use the awesome backyard oasis (including BBQ) and small frontyard at any time. There is a secure bike rack inside the front fence. Laundry is in the basement, and we schedule the use of that with the downstairs tenant.

I am a youthful gay dad and I live upstairs with my 12-year-old daughter (and future karate champion!) who is with me half the time. She is in French school and I mostly speak French with her so as to support her schooling (English is my first language; I also speak a bit of Spanish and a bit of Dutch). POINTS SUPPLÉMENTAIRES SI VOUS PARLEZ FRANÇAIS!

I try to keep the house clean and proper - at least as far as that is possible with a kid and cat… There is a Roomba vacuum that helps a lot! A cleaning professional comes once a month for deeper cleaning. She will clean your room also, as per your instructions.

I am moderately scent-sensitive and cannot handle incense or strong colognes in the house.

We also have a cute orange cat, Loki, who usually goes to my daughter’s mother’s house when I am away. Your friendly cat is welcome.

There is a 26-year-old French/Moroccan tenant in the basement. He has his own kitchenette and bathroom, as well as his own entrance from outside. He occasionally comes up to play the piano in the living room, but you won’t see him much as he mostly just keeps to himself.

Golden rules: No smoking (weed vape is okay; tobacco is never okay), tidy up after yourself, respect the house and its inhabitants – especially the kid! It is not a party house in general, but I usually throw myself a birthday party in September. Respectful guests are welcome, within reason.

If this sounds interesting, please let me know a bit about yourself to get the conversations started – and don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
