What I’m looking for: I’m looking for an unfurnished room or even a bachelor’s suite in Vancouver, ideally East Van. My budget is $800-$1000. I need a fairly large room where I would have enough space to set up my desk and an art space, as well as my bed and bookshelves, etc.

I also have my own kitchen stuff. And would like to be able to unpack that stuff. If that’s not possible, I would need somewhere to store it along with my camping gear and bicycle. I have a car and a motorbike, and hopefully there would be a place I could park both. I’m okay with straight parking for my car. But because I i wanna keep my bike insured half of the year, I would need a space off the street for the winter months.

A little about me: I’m a writer, artist, filmmaker, and musician who also works part-time driving tour buses. I’m friendly and creative, and I enjoy being social but also really value my own space and quiet time. I keep my home clean and am respectful of other people’s space and shared spaces.

I’ve been living in a semi-collective home for the past five years, so I’m very comfortable with shared-house living and the balance between community and having your own space. I’m looking for a warm, friendly place where I can settle in for the long term. I work part-time outside the home and spend much of the rest of my time working on my creative projects. I like a relatively peaceful home, although I’m not looking for complete silence — I enjoy listening to music and having a little life around me.

I’m a non-smoker, don’t use drugs, have no pets, and can provide a reference from my current housemate/landlord. I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and would love to see the space!
