No smoking cigarettes outdoors or indoors-- cigarette users must leave the property.
420 only allowed indoors (outdoors is common property).
There are two non-negotiable requirements:
1) You must be a cat person, as there are 2 [indoor] cats who live here and they are top priority. These cats do not spend time outdoors unattended. If they show discomfort around a person, that person will not live here. Explaining your cat history will help you a lot.
2) This is a Covid Conscious home where masking from the front door of the building until you get into the apartment, or when you go to the laundry or the mail, is required (on our common property, not in our suite). There are no exceptions to this.
Please indicate your understanding of these requirements before attempting to set up a viewing.
Your room opens up onto our private patio and garden; Your first views are of our rhododendron and trees. Squirrels are here constantly; Raccoon family moves through our yard regularly (without bothering the cats).
In the winter, it is more barren like Vancouver itself. In the Spring, the trees outside the room are cherry blossoms and will dominate our private outdoor space. In the Summer, the rhododendrons are white and red.
The private area can be used for BBQ's and entertaining. We have an outdoor ground heater for the winter. There is also a small outdoor freezer for storage.
There is a TV in the rental room, as well as an analog stereo system, and there are multiple streaming services that you can use free of charge (with included internet). The iMac is for your set up as you wish.
The living room has a full analog entertainment unit.
Adjacent dining room, standard kitchen and hallway pantry. Dishwasher in kitchen.
The room for rent is furnished-- Adjustments are negotiable if necessary. Major furniture items are not likely to fit.
I am a 50 year old male, I currently am in the home most days. I am a social justice oriented writer and historical climate activist who just finished a long term helping elderly family.
I enjoy hockey during the hockey season, and I watch AEW. I am up early and usually in bed well before midnight.
This home is often filled with the sound of heavy metal, from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest through to Opeth and Meshuggah. If you are an old school nerd, there are RPG-style board games from the 1980's, along with multiple old school video game consoles (NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, etc).
This home will never tolerate bigots, including (but not limited to):
racists, misogynists, homo/transphobes and/or anti-immigrant sentiments. Islamophobia, anti-Arab discrimination and all forms of antisemitism will not be acceptable for those who wish to live here.
I have a strong aversion to:
Jordan Peterson followers, anti-vaxxers // anti-maskers, climate deniers and most strange conspiratorial thinking.
If you would like to chat with me, and then see the place, tell me you understand the 2 non-negotiable conditions so we can make arrangements.
If I travel for more than a week and you feed the cats, your rent will be reduced that month.
If this ad is still up, the room is still available.
