50 year old man and his cat. Central Austin only.

I'm helping Steve, a 53 year old man, a friend and long-time employee, find a room and/or roommate after the house above Barton Springs he had leased for15 years was sold. The current rents in this prime area came as a shock. He's focused on economy while he decides what to do next.

Steve is quiet, healthy and fit (rides his recumbent bicycle everywhere he goes) and tidy. In fact, does cleaning for a living. His budget is $700. His passion is music, and he has toured Europe and India as percussionist for Oliver Rajamani.

Since he travels by bike and his clients are all inner city, he needs to live between Stassney and Research (US 183). Ideally, between Ben White and Anderson Ln.

He would prefer mature roommate(s), male or female, but for the right mix of location and personalities he will consider just about any grownup.

Steve has been cleaning our home and offices for my wife and me, and for many of our friends, for over 30 years. While we are gone for the summer he and his cat, Javier, are living in our house, watering plants and feeding pets. He has keys to everything and we trust him completely.

Plus, he's just a sweet guy!
