You will share most of the house with only one other person and a very friendly (and chill) malinois dog who stays out of the basement suite. Your housemate is a well-traveled male professional who works remotely or hybrid, who speaks English, French and some Spanish. If you are new to the US or the area, you will have a positive experience with someone who can help you navigate the metro area and the local culture. If you have lots of stuff and don't appreciate a clean and organized home, this place is not for you. Rental is best suited for college grad students, post-docs, faculty-staff, young professionals who look for a safe, quiet, friendly and comfortable home to do their work/homework, relax and have easy access to the area's best features, sights and places to visit or for hanging out.
