Jamilah's room

Seeking a female-only roommate to rent a room in a 2-bedroom, 1-bath duplex apartment located in Philadelphia’s Mount Airy Neighborhood. The room is in a second-floor unit that was last renovated about 10 years ago. The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit.

The available bedroom offers a cozy space with a small closet, and you’ll also have access to a larger closet in the living room. The rent price covers gas, electric, and WiFi expenses. The living situation involves sharing space with my sister, your future roommate, who owns three cats. Her cats are affectionate and tend to keep to themselves or stay close to my sister. Potential renters should be comfortable with cats.

Hello, I’m Jamilah, and I recently relocated to California for work, leaving my room unoccupied. Currently, my 25-year-old younger sister occupies the other bedroom. The room I moved out of is unfurnished, except for a mattress I purchased from Ikea a few months ago. It’s either a queen or full-size mattress. My sister recently moved in August 2023 and is still in the process of furnishing the apartment. She has a sectional sofa and a TV, which I gifted her, in the living room. Perhaps the two of you could collaborate on decorating the living room and dining area, especially if you plan to stay long-term. My sister likes to keep her space neat and clean and hopes to find a roommate who values cleanliness in shared areas. She’s not obsessively neat, but generally keeps the apartment clean.
