Today’s Rental “is filled with fun”

This rental is located at Park Road and 19th Street, NW. The Craigslist ad says:

“$1175 / 1br – $1175 1BD, Mount Pleasant, 15 Min Walk to Green/Yellow/Red Metro Line

Hello! We are looking for one person to rent the second bedroom in a two-bedroom basement apartment in a group house in Historic Mount Pleasant. The house itself is filled with fun, interesting people and the basement apartment is connected as an in-law suite but allows for separate access and living. The apartment includes its own kitchen, living area, and bathroom, with lots of storage. The unit shares the yard, deck, and hot tub with the whole house.

The unit has granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances in kitchen, its own central air and heat, dishwasher, shares a washer/dryer and is conveniently located on Park Road NW, between 18th and 19th Street close to public transportation — Green/yellow line – Mount Pleasant (15 minute walk) and Red line – Cleveland Park (20 minute walk); H3, H4 and W47-buses stop at the corner; H2, 43 and 42 buses are nearby.

The room is $1,175 including all utilities, except cable tv and internet, which we have and split equally.

Also included is bi-weekly housekeeping service for all common areas. This bedroom is available October 1st.

At present, the upstairs is all women, 9-5 professionals in their 20’s and 30’s. The current basement tenant is a laid back 24 year-old guy. We also have two cuddly kitties, so we’ve got enough pets. We share some activities (mostly culinary, art related, or outdoorsy) and an interest in sustaining a welcoming and positive house community. We’re looking for someone who is interested in joining our community. Everyone is expected to pitch in to make the house a home (inside and outside), so we are not looking for people who just want a place to crash. There is no tobacco smoking in the house. This is a gay-friendly community.”
