About the room
The room will be available October 16 (it can be rented for the 16th or after the 16th but before November 1st). It is located in the basement of the house where I live, in the neighborhood of Sunnyside. It is furnished and is quite large. It is very clean. The house was built over 100 years old. It has its personality and a nice energy. It has a small front yard and a larger backyard. I have lived in the house for 18 years. I am the only other person in the house, therefore the bathroom will be shared with me and it is conveniently located next to the back entrance door of the house and next to the basement stairs. The house is located near the river and paths (just at the end of the street) and downtown is right on the other side of the river. Kensington is only 8 min. away walking. There you can find a supermarket, restaurants, bars, banks, bus stops and the Sunnyside train station (one station away from SAIT and ACAD, and four stations away from the University of Calgary). It is a very green and pleasant neighborhood.
About the roomies
I am originally from Southern Europe (France and Spain are my two countries) but I have been in Calgary for over 20 years. I work independently as a language tutor (French, Spanish and English) but I have a background in environmental science (Masters from the University of Calgary) and environmental education (degree from the University of Quebec at Montreal). I develop projects in environmental education for schools in South America. The house is my workplace (I work from home), therefore the room is more suitable for someone who keeps busy and not at home all day.
