I am offering a furnished room (10.5 x 12.5 ft) for rent in my two-bedroom Temescal flat, which is only two blocks walking distance from MacArthur BART station in the desirable Temescal neighborhood of North Oakland. The monthly rent of $900 includes a beautifully furnished and decorated room with high ceilings, abundant natural light (sheer and black out curtains installed for privacy/insulation), ALL UTILITIES (including PG&E, high speed Xfinity Wi-Fi, and steam heat during cold months), free bike storage, use of app-operated washers and dryers, and free Nespresso coffee! We will each pay $65 per month for professional (monthly) cleanings of the entire apartment. The room has a full size bed with Casper memory foam mattress, nightstand with working vintage radio, armoire closet, dresser, 32-inch Roku smart TV with many apps, several lamps, two different storage chests/benches, and an air purifier. Additional hanging space for clothing is available in the large living room closet. I would prefer someone who works or takes classes away from home. This is not ideal for a work-from-home situation. Common spaces include a large living room (with dining area, bay windows, 55-inch Roku TV, and air purifier), plus a fully-equipped kitchen with all of the cookware that you could possibly need (including a dishwasher, Cuisinart food processor, stand mixer, slow cooker, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, gas stove/oven, two different Nespresso coffee machines, extensive glassware collection, plenty of dishes, pots/pans, bakeware, high quality knives, Soda Stream, and more). The apartment has a shared bathroom with tub/shower combo and bidet. This 1920s-era apartment is accented with vintage/modern decor, extensive mood lighting, and many plants. I share my home with two very cute and friendly middle-aged kitties named Edie and Rosie, so you must love cats and not be allergic. No other pets are allowed at this time. This is a centrally-located, walkable neighborhood convenient to many modes of transportation, including BART (just two blocks away) and multiple AC transit lines (including the 57 and 6 buses). Numerous restaurants (such as Homeroom Mac n Cheese and Tacos Oscar), many bars/breweries (Temescal Brewing, The Avenue, Tallboy, Rose's Taproom, North Light to name just a few), Whole Foods Market, Piedmont Avenue, and countless other popular destinations are all within walking distance! I am asking for a $900 refundable security deposit, along with the monthly rent of $900 to be paid at rental agreement signing. It would be a six-month agreement, with the option to continue past that time frame if we both decided to do so. Ideally, I am looking for a longer term roommate. While I am not particularly concerned about credit, I would need to verify your stable employment and/or income. All utilities would be included in the rent of $900, but a monthly fee of $65 for professional cleaning services would apply. I hire someone to deep clean the entire apartment on a monthly basis, and we would share that cost.
