One housemate is moving out since she is a visiting student and is heading back home. Similar situation with the other housemate who works as a postdoc at Lawrence Lab, as her contract ends.
Unfortunately, no pets/live in partners. No smoking of any kind in the house. There is plenty of street parking (no permit required) and an in-house washer/dryer. We are fairly laid back, humorous, and have impromptu meals together.
