Me-- laid back, worked as a barista in a café, backpacked Europe, slept in many a youth hostel, kind & helpful (as you can see by the cheaper rent), cool with just about anybody, and have plenty of +positive+ references. Oh and get this: work sends me out to other locations 4-5 nights each week, so we'll seldom see each other... Think of it like this: it's your apartment, and because you are the kind-hearted person that you are, you let me sleep over twice a week. Cool with that?
You-- Courteous, respectful, kind, considerate ◄= very important.
Apartment-- Just 4 minutes to I-94 freeway. Northwestern Evanston area, south of Central street by ⅓ of a mile. Two blocks away from 201 & 206 bus stop (free for Wildcard holders) offering access to Ryan Field, NU campus, CTA Purple Line, and Metra UP-N train stations. Walking distance: CVS, 24hr Jewel grocery store, Starbucks, Subway, restaurants, brand spanking new Walgreens, 24h BP gas station/store. Safe neighborhood.
from Evanston to Estonia, students & interns are all actively seeking affordable housing. The general idea is, "the room goes to the first person who places a deposit"
No credit check! No background check! No waiting for any process, nor the fuss associated with it! Move in when you want; move out when you want. Security deposit ($300) will be returned to you when you return the key in good condition ☺
And....that's about it. Merci ~
