The house has lots of natural light, hardwood floors, lots of storage, and a giant backyard (including a hot tub and porch!). Great if you love gardening! Here are staged house pictures. The bedroom available can be furnished or unfurnished; however, the rest of the house is furnished. There are two other occupied bedrooms on the main floor and one occupied bedroom upstairs.

About me: I am 34 years old and originally from the Bay Area. I have been living in Oakland for about 6 years and love it. I lead my own education and social justice consulting practice and often work from home (during COVID & non-COVID times). I am clean and organized, friendly, and enjoy hosting occasional potlucks (during non-COVID times). I do not smoke or have pets. I am vegan. I enjoy cycling, hiking, lindy hop, cooking, and being with friends and family.
About you: I am looking for roommates who are easygoing, considerate, and friendly. Someone who will want to both hang out on occasion, but also keep to themselves. I would like someone who is also clean. I prefer a vegan/vegetarian roommate and someone who does not smoke.
