About the room
Looking for a roommate in a two-bedroom apartment from June 1 to August 31.
You’ll have your own room (comes with a built-in dresser) and share the kitchen, balcony, and living room. I’ve lived here for 4 years, and my current roommate is moving out. Shared space will be minimally furnished with a sofa and TV—you’ll need your own bedroom furniture.
The apartment is on the second floor, with laundry one floor down. No dishwasher. A parking spot in the back is available for $40/month. Rent includes Hydro and internet.
The apartment is located above Shelbourne Plaza (Shelbourne & Cedar Hill X Rd), close to supermarkets, coffee shops, bakeries, and the popular Fig deli.
The bus to downtown takes 15–20 minutes. UVic is a short bus ride away or about a 25-minute walk through Horner Park. Lots of bike lanes nearby.
Bonus: I may be in and out of town for most of the summer, so you’ll have the space to yourself a lot of the time.
Also nearby: Mount Tolmie (15-minute uphill walk) and Mount Douglas. Great for sunset (or sunrise) views.
About the roomies
My name is Jules (he/him). I’m currently in denial about turning 30, as I’m finishing the third year of my PhD on the politics of solidarity at UVic. People say I’m fruity, but really, I’m just French (unfortunately). I fell in love with the island for its beautiful landscapes, which got me into hiking and biking. I’m also into music, books, and movies. I’ll be in and out for most of the summer, so I’m open to a roommate who wants to hang out occasionally—or not at all. I’d be happy to help you move in or get to know the neighbourhood.
