Brienne's room

Montréal, QC H4A 3A8

Flexible move-in date, but the sooner the better. Asking $1,250 (negotiable) which includes rent, Hydro, internet, insurance, heat AND A/C. Located near Vendome Metro, Girouard Park, and within walking distance to many amenities. The apartment has a front yard (that needs some love), and a back balcony that’s reasonably cozy but still in need of some improvements (next up: shade sail). The basement floor is occupied by Brienne, and the secondary upstairs bedroom by Christian. The apartment has two washrooms (one on the main floor and one in the basement), a washer/dryer and is mostly fully furnished but open to new additions! We are looking for a responsible roommate who is clean and respectful of shared spaces; it generally won’t be a good fit if you’re more of a partier (as the apartment tends to be a chill space), or regularly use hard drugs (no judgment, but we’re both more Zen and enjoy peace and quiet in our home…not to say we don’t enjoy the occasional party!). Bonuses: the apartment is pet friendly and we would consider a dog that is well accustomed to living with cats; we both love plants (non-toxic to pets); we are looking for other students or working professionals; diverse backgrounds, identities, languages, and life experiences; occasional house parties and hangouts; DIY and interior design enthusiasts; partners for morning meditation, workouts/running, or camping, ect.

Here’s a little about us! Christian: I am a 37-year-old Montrealer, Anglophone and Francophile, accompanied by my cat Jackie, returning to school after 15 years and a first career; international life experience and open-minded! I am particularly keen on shared meals and would love to regularly alternate cooking duties.

• pretty handy, with access to a sizable toolbox and workshop
• 99% sober, been to therapy and did the work
• increasingly devoted to my meditation and yoga practices
• cyclist, with Communauto membership in the works
• expanding my repertoire of vegetarian meals and love cooking for groups
• reducing my digital dependence
• big fan of cooperatives and the social economy
• tons of exercise and camping gear to share
• minimalist and clean
• and I love animals.

Brienne: I’m a 23-year-old recent McGill graduate in psychology, currently working hybrid as a research assistant at Concordia. I am an Anglophone but want to learn more French. I am aspiring to continue my education with a master’s degree in psychology, but am taking some time to work and apply to schools. I love reading, thrift shopping, running, exploring the city, spending time with friends, and being with my partner! I am a vegetarian and enjoy making new recipes, and am trying to get into baking as well. Hope to hear from you soon!
