It is a lovely 7 ½ on Notre-Dame at Rose-de-Lima; rent is $200 for a large bedroom with closet (…but no window). Utilities not included in rent, and optional internet & land phone with unlimited North American long distance for $18/month. We are near Lionel-Groulx metro, Atwater market, two large grocery stores, the Lachine canal, the Turcot Interchange, a pharmacy, and lots of deps and diners.
The apartment is sunny, with a large kitchen, lots of cabinets, a view of the Farine Five Roses sign, and a living room with balcony access. (Also you can help us pick a colour to go over the terrible mauve in the kitchen!)
We are three fairly geeky, queer- and trans-friendly McGill students, 20ish, two ciswomen and one cisman. We are mostly anglo and collectively study (urban) geography, women’s studies, philosophy, and Russian. Two of us are from Kitchener, Ontario, and one of us is from Encinitas (near San Diego), California. We are prone to accidentally staying up late talking and eating many sugary foods at our kitchen table, having roommate drinking nights, playing board games, undertaking construction projects, and various combinations thereof. Our apartment also contains for your enjoyment: a dolly, a drill, a large tea stash, and communal bookshelves. All of us are somewhat socially awkward and sometimes judgmental, but very friendly! One of us is allergic to cats, but reptiles are strongly encouraged.
You are around our own age, preferably not excessively hip, and up for participating in roommate fun times. You are a considerate roommate as well (regular dishwashing, making little noise while people are sleeping, keeping common spaces fairly clean). The three of us are vegetarian, share groceries and frequently cook and eat together; we hope to find someone who is into that too. We’re also hoping for a fairly environmentally conscious flatmate (turning off lights, keeping the heater low, vermicomposting, using cloth shopping bags, et cetera). Socially inept roommates welcome; you will feel right at home!
If any or all of this sounds good to you, get in touch ASAP; inconveniently for everyone two of us will be out of town for the last week of August, so the sooner the better!
