Single Room in 2Bd1.5Bth Apartment

The Room
• Private bedroom in a 2 bed / 1.5 bath townhouse
• Bright space with hardwood floors
• Unfurnished — bring your own setup
• Located upstairs close to the full bathroom
• Quiet environment with great privacy

Roommate Preference
All identities welcome as long as the rent gets paid, the house stays clean, and you are nice to my cats. I’m preferably looking for a woman housemate but only because in my experience, they tend to be cleaner, more organized, and generally more attentive with pets. Also okay with a They/them, but only if you can make a good cup of coffee cause I heard you guys make killer coffee.

The Townhouse
• Two-story layout: bedrooms/bath upstairs, living areas downstairs
• Furnished living room with TV & streaming services
• Fully equipped kitchen (all appliances + full kitchenware — no air fryers please)
• Washer and dryer in-unit
• Central heating (no A/C)
• Shoeless home — stays clean and tidy
• Small shared driveway (1 car per unit — we can alternate)
• Free, easy street parking available
• Tiny backyard — more decorative than functional

Location
• Right in South Berkeley, close to everything-- coffee shops, small markets, etc.
• Ashby BART within walking distance
• Bus stop around the corner
• Quick access to Ashby freeway exit
• Small grocery markets, restaurants, coffee shops all walkable
• Bay St. ~5 minutes away
• Dispensary around the corner
• Safe and low to no drama neighborhood vibe

About Me
I’m Jovani (29M) — a graduate student at St. Mary’s College, I slave away as an Operations Manager in Berkeley, and for fun and sanity I work as a volleyball coach in Oakland.
My girlfriend is moving out, she was in the other room, but she will be coming from to time to time to visit me. She might move in to my room in the future.
• Former college volleyball player at UC Davis
• I love volleyball, cycling (fixie/track bikes), video games, and hanging with my two indoor cats Marble & Duck
• I’m clean, organized, respectful, friendly, and usually out of the house working, studying, or coaching
• Weekends are packed with school and tournaments, so the place remains peaceful
• Alcohol friendly — but don't offer me a drink because I'll say yes.

*Important Note*
Two indoor cats live here. They’re chill but this is definitely a cat household.
I’m hoping to find someone who is comfortable with animals.

The Neighbors
Next door: an attorney and a school counselor (early 30s) with two dogs.
Chill, friendly, and zero issues.
Landlords live in the main house next door — extremely kind, responsive, and rarely seen.
