Benjamin's room

I’m Ben, looking to rent 2 (update - 1 left) bedrooms in my 1750sqft 4/2 split-level house for $950+utils each.

The house recently underwent an extensive remodel and is situated in a safe, gorgeous, well-maintained, and easily accessible part of southwest Portland right by Gabriel Park, close to Multnomah village. It’s close to many world-class amenities, one of the nicest parks and sports centers in the PNW, OHSU, Lewis and Clark, PSU, and more!

UPDATE PLEASE READ

• I had no idea this site existed until 12/10/2023 - I don’t know how this ad got posted either.
• I have taken control of this account and the ad is updated to reflect the current state of the property
• I have one room left to rent. It currently needs some things cleared out of it due to being used for storage during the remodel.
• I will take $100 off the first month if you’re interested in helping me clean the room up and prepare it for your rental/move-in.
• Earliest move in date would be January 8 2024

Things about me:

• Queer, poly, in tech, doesn’t have pets, doesn’t smoke tobacco
• Not an extrovert by any means, but I’m pretty outgoing with lots of hobbies and interests that I keep within the bounds of my personal spaces (happy to share what I make or collaborate as well!)
• Pretty sanitary and someone who cleans as they go, but also appreciates some kind of structured cleaning plans when living with others.
• Absolutely loves cooking, especially for others, DIY projects, video and tabletop games, volunteering, camping, cars, sciences, reading things, and otherwise being kinda lowkey silly and easygoing when not serious/focused on work.
• Typically spend anywhere from 10-20% of the year traveling, 70-80% of the remainder at home or at local functions, and maybe 70ish% of my time at home doing my own thing.
• Work from home, but can mesh well with all sorts of schedules others may have (graveyard, also from home, etc)
• Will occasionally have friends come and work remotely from here and typically hosts DnD sessions here a couple weekends per month - I encourage people to use the shared spaces with their friends as well!

UPDATE About Roommate!

• Queer, social worker, very friendly and loves video games, media, boardgames, nature and hiking
• incredibly gracious, friendly, and with a great sense of humor
• no pets, non smoker, spends most days/time outside of the home and works in-office 4/5 days/week
