We have a room opening soon in our home! We’re two musicians (Tobias is an Arabic-style percussionist and lives in a separate studio in the back; I’m a Balkan/Turkish winds player) and Mardi’s a dancer/costume designer. We’re all lovely people (if I say so myself, which I clearly do) and keep a good balance between social time & privacy.
There’s a lot of music in the house, and it’s an ideal place for a musician or anyone who’s inspired being around people being creative. We have no TV, and like it that way. We keep things neat & clean, but not obsessively so. We have a longhaired cat as well. Decent yard in front & a pretty, vaguely-landscaped area in back as well. Fireplace, gas stove, washer/dryer.
We’re a strictly vegetarian house. You can eat whatever you want outside, but no meat (or fish or chicken or dead animals of any kind) in the house. Yes, this is non-negotiable. (Dairy & eggs are fine, yes indeedy they are so fine.)
The room is available either Feb. 15 for sure, or possibly Feb. 1. It’s a sunny room with two windows, measuring about 10’x12’ with a small closet & hardwood floors. (I lived in that room for about two years & it’s really a nice room.) You can see pictures here. The available bedroom is the first one on the “bedrooms” link. Rent is $525, plus $525 deposit to move in.
We’re near 60th & San Pablo, in North Oakland. Here’s a map. 12 minute walk/5 minute bike to Ashby Bart, pretty close to Emeryville shops (including Trader Joe’s), close to I-80/I-580, public library, 72R bus to downtown Oakland/Richmond.
If you’re interested, let me know by emailing me from the contacts page. Thanks!
