Still looking for a great place...

[Guest guest]

I've posted here before, but haven't gotten a lot of

responses. I'm trying again.

 

I am looking for a great place in Temescal, North

Oakland, West Oakland, South Berkeley or basically

anywhere else in the Oakland/Berkeley

flat-or-mostly-flat-lands. I'm a

socially/environmentally/animally-conscious 31

year-old woman who works in the non-profit sector,

volunteers and freelances as a radio journalist, and

studies massage. I bike most places, practice (albeit

sporadically) mindfulness meditation. I'm vegan. I'm a

nice person. A funny person. Responsible, dependable,

respectful, and always (always!) pay my rent on time.

No kidding.

 

I'm looking for a 1 bedroom cottage, in-law, or other

apartment with access to a nice yard and laundry

on-site. A studio probably won't work for me, unless

it's very large. Nice neighbors are important. So is a

good kitchen with a gas stove. I prefer hardwood

floors over carpeted, tile over linoleum (obviously

this is not a deal-breaker). I am not given to having

loud or large parties. I am given to having a friend

or two or three over for dinner.

 

I come with one 2 year-old dog who is a medium-sized

mutt type. She's non-destructive, really sweet, really

good with kids, and generally quiet, though she does

sometimes bark at dogs going by. I'm working with her

on this behavior and seeing some good results. So,

this is not a huge issue, especially if the place

doesn't face the street. And, even if it does, there

are ways to work this out (she's crate-trained, for

example). I am a very responsible dog person. With me

also come two 12 year-old cats. They are currently

indoor cats, and can stay that way, if preferred, or

they can become indoor-outdoor cats (which they would

like), depending on the environment.

 

I can pay up to $900, including water and garbage, for

the ideal place. This is the top of my budget. I

would, of course, prefer to pay less (like $700). I

have a lot of non-profit management experience, so if

you're looking for someone to be an on-site manager of

your property (maybe you live abroad?), I'd be an

especially good tenant.

 

My move date is flexible. Please let me know if you

have something great.

 

Thanks very much.

Sandra
