About the roomies
We are non-smokers, clean, and organized (i.e. hate clutter and sink full of dirty dishes for too many days), responsible, respectful, and fun. We can get along with pretty much anyone, but prefer people who are kind, clean and considerate. I communicate honestly and openly, and am looking for someone with whom that resonates. We like to keep pretty active and busy, and when at home do things like relax, watch movies on apple tv, and cook. Pretty low key during the week, enjoy our weekends, and socialize outside the apartment.
