(If you’re reading this ad, the room IS still available. And please – don’t just send me the generic response! Read the full description, and tell me a little about yourself.)

I'm a single lady, living alone, and I have a large and attractive spare bedroom that's fully furnished as a rental space. It’s sitting empty, and available right now.

I'm looking for a quiet, mature, and responsible *female* tenant – because it's easier to share a bathroom that way!

• Sunny apartment on the second floor of a well-maintained duplex, in Ottawa’s west end.

• Located on Conn Street, just off Poulin St., a few steps from Richmond and Carling – near the Farm Boy grocery store, in the Britannia Beach neighbourhood. Googlemap the location, to see if it works for you.

• Spacious furnished room (11' x 14'), with a comfy queen-sized bed, fully made up.

• Modern kitchen with new appliances.

• Clean bathroom with lots of hot water.

• Full-sized washer and dryer in apartment.

• Toasty gas heating for winter; cool central air for summer.

• Parking in a large shared driveway; public covered parking is also available for winter storms.

• If you don’t have a car, the local buses are #11, #51, #85 and #57 – the last can get you downtown in half an hour or so. (Check the bus service and routes at www.octranspo.com.)

• Large deck for summer lounging, plus a big grassy yard out back.

• Just a short walk (or bike ride) to Britannia Park and Beach, and the biking and skiing trails along the Ottawa River.

$850/month includes heat, hydro, water, internet (I don't have cable). Available immediately; first and last months' rent required.

Let's meet, and find out if you like the space, and see how we hit it off!
