Are you on the hunt for a unique and affordable renting opportunity? As we all know, the rental market can be tough and unforgiving, with sky-high prices and cramped living spaces. But what if I told you there was a listing on CraigsList in the Bay Area of San Francisco that offers a truly one-of-a-kind living situation? You may have to channel your inner Harry Potter, but for less than £200 per month, you could be living in a cupboard under the stairs. Yes, you read that right.
Measuring just 3 metres by 10 metres, this cozy nook currently lacks a door, but don't worry, the listing mentions that it can easily be blocked off for some added privacy. The only catch? You'll be sharing an apartment with the current tenant, who is looking for a 'nice nerdy gamer' as a roommate. So, all you Minecraft fans out there, this could be your chance to live like your favorite game character.
Despite the small space and lack of door, the current tenant assures that you'll have access to all the necessary amenities, including internet, kitchen, and bathroom. And if you're worried about cooking in a cramped space, fear not – the listing specifically states that there are no restrictions on cooking. Plus, you'll have the luxury of using the current tenant's appliances and utilities, as well as his TV and Xbox. Sounds like a sweet deal, right?
It's not just a theoretical scenario, either. The Bay Area News Group has confirmed that the listing is real, and the current tenant, who goes by the name Jason, is in desperate need of a roommate to help cover his recently increased rent. He's not picky about the gender of his potential roomie, but he does have some deal-breakers – no criminal records, addictions, or pets allowed. And if you were planning on having friends over, think again – guests are not allowed, ever.
Naturally, the listing has caused quite a stir, with some people jokingly comparing it to Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs and others sharing their own experiences of cramped living spaces in the Bay Area. Some have even pointed out that the rent for this unique living situation is actually not bad compared to other options in the area.
But for those of you who may be hesitant, thinking, "who would want to live in a space like this?" Jason has an answer for you – himself. He works as a handyman and makes a decent salary, but with the increase in rent, he simply can't afford to live in his apartment without a roommate. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to save some money on rent and have access to all the gaming equipment you could ever want?
So, if you're a gaming enthusiast on a budget, this could be your chance to find a truly unique and affordable living situation. And who knows, you may even find a new bromance or lasting friendship with your under-the-stairs roommate. And for those of you worried about living with a stranger, just remember, we're all nerds at heart.
