Hi all, I'm looking for greener pastures after living at my current place for ~3 years or so in the uptown area.
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a room in either midtown, downtown, Melrose, basically anywhere close to the 7s. I prefer a room with a private bath but can be flexible with that for the right place/person. The room can either be furnished or not. I work from home and need stable, decent internet. I prefer some sort of shaded off-street parking but am flexible with that as well.
About me:
I'm a 41 year-old guy and have been an environmental scientist for the past decade or so. For the past two years I've been doing a sort of snowbird thing and working remote in Phoenix from about October to June and going up to Milwaukee from June-October to do field work during the summer rush.
I'm financially-stable, mature, and easy to get along with. I like living with others because I live fairly simply, enjoy a little bit of the social aspect, and since I split my time between two states it makes logistical/financial sense to live somewhere with furnished common spaces.
Hangups:
**Pet things:** I'm a cat person, so if you have a cat or two and keep the house relatively clean we're having fun. I have unreasonably high standards for dog owners though: if you're a 99th percentile dog owner who does a stellar job keeping the house clean and your dog is very well-trained and quiet I'm happy, but anything less is a non-negotiable. I'm happy to look after cats while you're away but will not take care of a dog.
Hobbies:
Cycling and hiking are my main outdoor things. Indoors I'm doing video games, board games, and I'm a bit of a home cook.
Personal/social things: I'm a lefty but not obnoxious about it. So if you're a crypto fascist, weird religious guy, Zionist, Maga chud, or some combination of those we might not get along. Or it'll be a The Odd Couple situation, who knows?
So that said, look through my posting history, shoot me a dm, and let's get together to see if we'd be a good fit.
