Looking for a housemate in a 2BR in Montecito Heights.

This is a gem of a place.. its in the middle of LA yet this canyon neighborhood has a very rustic and even wild feel to it... roosters in the mornings... birds all day... a chorus of dogs and coyotes at night... 5 min to Highland Park, 15 min to DTLA or Silverlake.

The apartment is perched above the street on a steep hillside... really great light + privacy. It’s an older building that’s been fully refreshed.. the fixtures / finishes aren't my taste but it's got amazing energy... green and blue shining in from every window line.

Inside is fairly spacious. Outside has a big landscaped backyard area with a firepit and a pagoda.. for anyone that needs light and fresh air.. likes to host meals or hang outside.. this is the spot.

I’ll be finishing furnishing the place over the next month, but if you have pieces you love, we can for sure blend.

Street parking is easy and consistently available. The room actually can be furnished or unfurnished.. already have a set for it.

Rent: $1,825

About This Lister

I’m Matthew — early/mid-30s, working professional, not a creative by trade but creative intuitions abound...

At home I’m grounded. I read a lot, cook often, keep things clean. I'm TV light (no shows at all, just movies, films, documentaries). I’m very active and usually out early most mornings, even on the weekends. I occasionally work from home but am more often in the office. Weekends I’m typically out exploring or spending time with friends or traveling.

I'm social in a friendly way — I enjoy good conversation, shared meals, that kind of thing. I'm in to the culinary scene and love dinners out.. wine bars after.. but otherwise 'm not much for nightlife.. I'm rarely out to midnight.. and I don't drink often.

I'm happy to share my socials for perusing.
