Antoine's room

Hey folks!

Check out this lovely room in heritage house in Oaklands, available for a two week sublet (June 15-July 1st) or long term! I’m a current roommate in this sweet home but I’m leaving for France, so we’re looking for someone to take my place come June 15th or July 1st or June 1st.

The house has character, light, and love in it, and potential for someone to come and add their own flair as well! It’s a three bedroom main floor apartment of a triplex, shared only with one other. It would be perfect for someone who enjoys having a spacious yard to hang out and garden in and would like to have access to an office/yoga space/spare room :)

It is located in Oaklands, just 5 mins walk to Jubilee hospital and Camosun Lansdowne campus, and 15 minutes biking to downtown and UVIC. There’s a huge backyard, large basement with storage and coin laundry, a large cozy living room, a huge clawfoot tub, a cute balcony for eating dinner and hosting guests and free, unlimited street parking. Internet is provided by the landlord (tho it is not always reliable, so you may wish to get better internet).

Rent is $1100 (half if only subletting for two weeks) which includes internet, house expenses, and light cleaning/maintenance, but heat and hydro are not included and billed bi-monthly. The room can come furnished or unfurnished. Unfortunately no couples, smokers or pets (with the exception of non furries ie. fish, lizards etc.)

Looking for someone to commit to a 6 month lease minimum but preference given to those wishing to be in Victoria long term and willing to sign for a 1 year term with extension if a good fit! If you’re interested in inquiring about the room, please respond with answers to the following so that I can get to know each other better and see if the fit is good!

1. Please tell me about you and your experience living with others and what your ideal living situation would look like?

2. Why does this house interest you and how long would you like to live here ideally?

3. What is your age and occupation?

4. Can you tell me about your diet? I have severe allergies to certain foods, and mild allergies to a few others. Would you be willing to avoid certain foods to assist in helping the house feel safe?

5. What are your thoughts on the COVID pandemic and ongoing health/safety stuff, and what do you require from roommates to feel safe?

Thank you for taking the time to respond, and feel free to send some questions too! If this ad is still up and doesn’t say Pending, then I’m still accepting applicants and I will to my best to read and respond to your inquiry if you are open to taking the time to respond to these questions :)

Looking forward to meeting you!

She enjoys living with others, sharing meals/stories/movie nights together sometimes, and having time to herself. She’s wishing to co-create a respectful and solid living environment where both are mindful & accountable and strive to cultivate a harmonious living environment.
