[Sorry the photos of the room were taken when the room was occupied.] Looking for a responsible and respectful housemate. It has to be someone who enjoys living with others, is able to communicate openly and positively, and cares about our community and our planet. This is NOT just a room for rent, it is a shared space with a fully furnished bedroom for you. The room includes a queen-size bed, a good desk and a lot of storage space. The house has a heat pump and high-speed fiber internet (in case you are working from home, it is perfect!). It would be a good place also for a retired person or anybody else as long as we share the basic same values of a simple life. The shared space includes kitchen, laundry, living rooms, back porch, front patio and a 1-acre yard/orchard/vegetable garden, plus lots of storage space. There is also a piano in the living room. All of that will be shared by 2 people including you, plus occasionally my son when he comes for a visit. I also have an 11-year-old dog. I am vegetarian (my son is not) and I do prefer a vegetarian housemate (or at least low consumer of animal products). No excess of alcohol. No smoking. There is a place in the carport for your car (as well as charge point if you have an electric car). More space is also available to store a camper trailer or RV on the 1-acre property (for extra money). And space for your bike/kayak/canoe or storage place in the garage. There is a studio/shop space in a separate building for extra money also. There are buses going to Nanaimo: #78 from our street, #70 with a bus stop at about 2km (it travels from Nanaimo to Duncan) References, and damage deposit required. The room is available January 1st and will stay vacant until a suitable person is found. I would prefer somebody who is interested in gardening (not for me for yourself) and/or activities like processing fruit and veggies. I also practice mindfulness and follow the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. I am mentioning that just in case you are interested in it also. No other reasons.

I am 60 years old. I am vegetarian and I care a lot for the environment. I’d prefer a vegetarian housemate. My 20 year old son comes home during holidays. I like gardening and outdoor activities. I also practice mindfulness meditation. I enjoy living with others.
