ONE Bdrm for rent to ONE quiet, busy person

The apartment is on Lincoln Ave. at north end of the street. It's a three storey apt. building with a small courtyard. I'm on the second floor. The bedroom has a large window facing the courtyard, now lined with a few redwood trees.
The bedroom has a very large closet area, plus a storage area. I'm the Leaseholder, and I've lived here for about 14 years.

.Something to first consider: There would be no shared Living Room since that is where I'm residing now.
This means you, as new tenant would walk through my area to reach your room.....I'm a friendly person, but would not expect a long conversation from you each time you entered or exited the apartment.

....Some may describe it as a safe and pleasantly boring place to live. Few guests, please, if any. I don't want a lot of different folks coming in or out.
---My preference is for a Male rent share. I tend to get along better with other guys.

I chose the 'No Smoking' but that means no smoking inside the apartment. I do smoke cigarettes. I stand at the open door. No marijuana. No incense either, as that odor stays for a long time. No illegal drugs.
Alcohol is fine, so long as you stay in control.
Low TV or music sounds at night.

I can only offer street parking nearby on Lincoln Ave.
There is usually a spot available within one block area.
***Coin Op Laundry downstairs.
Wall to wall carpeted.

I have Caged Birds. Parakeets and Finches.
I would like bigger Parrots, but they'd be too loud for my neighbors. This means Birds and Fish are fine as your pets, but NO DOGS or CATS.

I am looking to rent to someone already fully employed or with a steady and reliable flow of income that I can verify. I would like at least one Rental Payment reference from you.

I have basic Internet. You should be able to connect thru my account for starters.

**It doesn't matter to me, but I'll state it anyway;
I'm a Black man. I am open to living with anyone of the right temperment, someone reliable, of good character, who has a little bit of humor about things.
But it does matter to some people, so they should be aware and think about it. I'm informing but not judging them.

I am semi-retired, but work a few hours a week as a counselor to autistic adults in a Group Home.
That means I'm usually here in the apartment.

General cleanliness. I'm not obsessive about it. I will clean the bathroom and kitchen floors as needed.

I would want your rent paid by the 4th of each month.
