I am renting an unfurnished bedroom w/ a private entrance and private bathroom in spacious 2 bedroom apartment in Oakland's Laurel district. There is also a storage area available. The apartment has very high ceilings, lots of natural light, is fully furnished but the room will come unfurnished. The kitchen is fully stocked w/ all the utensils one could want and there is a washer/dryer in the unit.

The ideal roommate would be relatively quiet if you are home during the day. You would be sharing the apartment with me, a PhD student and I have a home office and need peace and quiet to write my dissertation. After 9:30pm is quiet time! All common areas must be kept clean. (Especially the kitchen!) A fellow PhD student who has similar needs for a low-key atmosphere is ideal. No drugs, no parties, no cigarette smoking allowed.

Your portion of utilities which is wifi and PG&E (depending on our usage of the gas heater during the winter) is no higher than $100 but much less during the warmer summer/spring months.

Move in August 15th and pay 1/2 rent ($600) + deposit ($1250) = $1850 move in costs. I prefer to have someone who is willing to stay through the entire academic year. No short term rentals.

Please respond with some information about yourself and we'll take it from there.
