Hey, Santa Cruz community! Our lovely housemate Rown is moving to New Zealand in search of adventure. So we have a room opening up in our home with a flexible move-in date between October 16th and November 1st. The house is a 4bed/3bath and is located on the Upper West Side, right up the hill from the Mission St. Safeway. This room is single occupancy only and is ideal for someone who does not work remotely. This room shares a full bath with Shelby. The room's dimensions are 12’5”x8’4” with a ton of built-in cabinets and closets. Rent is $1100 per month, and utilities and internet are split equally between the housemates (they usually are around $150-$200 a month). The room will be rented as an unfurnished room. The security is the total rent divided by four ($1525).
This is a community-centered home where we value open communication, cleanliness, and respect. We enjoy quality time, shared conversation, and the occasional game night with cocktails. We work standard Monday-Friday schedules, so we prefer to keep the house on the quieter side during the week. Olalla has a dog, Freddie, who is a five-year-old standard poodle. Dogs may be okay, but it would be on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately, no cats or other pets are allowed due to allergies (and Freddie is not good around felines).
Fun details about the house: there are basically two living rooms, two dining table areas, TWO REFRIGERATORS, a dishwasher, and in-unit laundry. There’s a huge backyard space with a fire pit and a gas BBQ. There is off-street parking and ample street parking (and no permit required).
House Rules: No smoking or vaping inside. No heavy drug use. This is not a party house; if we want to have a community gathering, we communicate that with the rest of the household.
