👋 ABOUT YOUR HOUSEMATES
We're a queer couple with a mellow 6.5-year-old hypoallergenic dog.
E, 36 - Designer working remotely. I enjoy woodworking and playing basketball and futsal 2-3 times a week.
R, 34 - Social worker on a hybrid schedule. Enjoys hiking, watching shows, and playing sports 2-3 times a week.
Our vibe: We value a home that feels safe, relaxed, and restorative. We've loved past living situations where housemates became friends - sharing meals, hanging out - but we equally cherish quiet time and personal space. We're looking for that balance of friendly community and peaceful coexistence.
