    Room details

    Hello, The master tenant of my three bedroom apartment and his girlfriend will be moving out at the end of August. Although I will miss my friends, I will not miss their mess. The apartment will be completely empty and clean at the time of your move in date, down to the window curtains. Please make note of this when viewing the pictures. About me: I'm a down to earth and easy going forty-four year old man. I'm pretty clean and tidy. I've been working as a server at the same restaurant for about 15 years and I typically work five nights a week. When I'm not at work I'm probably reading at a coffee shop, but I also love surfing, taking photos, riding my bike, and car camping in my mini-van. Also, and most importantly, I'm a bit of a minimalist and very averse to clutter. It's important to me that common spaces are organized and that counter spaces in the kitchen and bathroom are reasonably clear and things are put away. It makes cleaning easier and life so much nicer. I wouldn't say that I'm extreme or anything, but my current roommates are really just not compatible with me in this way. I was planning on moving out, but they ended up buying a house so I've decided to stay and try do find some like minded housemates. About you: I'm looking for two responsible, clean, cool adults capable of maintaining a peaceful, tidy, drama free, and fun home. About the house: Its a duplex and we are in the upper unit. There are actually four rooms, but one is rather small and used for storage. Then there are two large rooms and a medium sized room. The biggest faces Alcatraz Ave and is pretty noisy. The next largest room is in the rear of the house and is the most quiet. The last room is medium sized and also located in the rear of the house away from the street. The house is a bit rough around the edges and could use a fresh coat of paint, but as far as amenities go we have a good deal. There is a washer/drier in our unit, dish washer, nice back porch and a cute back yard. The location is great and super walkable. Street parking is easy. It's close to everything you could need. Groceries, cafes, restaurants, bars, gyms, and bart are all close by. San Pablo Park is near by too if you need some open space and sunshine.
