Sublet - Sunny Private Room Available 4/11 - 4/22

Hello potential housemate! Please, read the ad (below) -- it will answer many of your questions. Thanks! :)

This is a short-term / temporary bedroom sublet available for up to 2 weeks (while the current housemate is away working Coachella).

The room will be available from Thursday April 11th until Tuesday April 22 (with the possibility of a few extra days before or after).

I’m looking for an awesome person(s) to fill this short-term / temporary vacancy at Casa Hendie.

Casa Hendie is an owner occupied, non-smoking house located in the hub of the San Gabriel Valley – Baldwin Park (91706) – located in Los Angeles County..

It’s important to note that the current/former housemates at Casa Hendie were brought together by the Couchsurfing community, so we're big on trust, karma, generosity, cultural exchange, inclusion, communication, helpfulness and fostering a intentional living-type community household – a place that is a safe haven and a space for mutually supporting one another.

If this sounds like the type of co-living environment you are looking for, please read on!

* * * HOW THIS WORKS * * *
If you’re interested in the room, please start by sending me a message telling me a bit about yourself and what you've been arrested for. Please include what you do for a living, how long you’ve been doing it and if it’s remote. Tell me why you are looking for short-term / temporary room sublet, when you’d like to move in, for how long, and why you think you’d be a good fit at Casa Hendie. And perhaps a social media link.

If you answered my questions and seem like you might be a good fit for Casa Hendie, then I will respond with some follow up questions and basic move in info. After that, we can arrange a virtual or in-person tour of the room and house.

Finally, I have a household information and etiquette guide that you must read, understand, sign and abide by.

= = = * * * IMPORTANT CONDITIONS! * * * = = =
** NO pets.
** NO overnight guests.
** NON-smokers only! NO cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, vaping, etc. (however 420-friendly outside)
** MUST have stable/verifiable income!
** MUST be well organized, tidy and observant.
** MUST be aware and considerate of the spatial constraints of sharing a home with others.
** MUST read, understand and live within the spirit of the house guidelines.
.
Phew! That was a lot of info!

But it's extremely important that I find a person(s) who meshes well with the intentional style living household of Casa Hendie, not just someone to fill a room.

Thanks for reading my ad! I’m really looking forward to hearing from you!

P. S. Some of the current housemates things will be left in the room, but the room will be cleaned and well organized.
