Cozy home in good neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, hospitals, highways. Bedroom is located on second floor. The first floor is the main living space and owner's bedroom. The room is set up for traveling professionals with a comfortable queen sized bed, window a/c, blackout curtains, and a TV. The shared spaces are the kitchen, living, dining, and bathroom. I live here with my two small friendly and mostly quiet dogs. Female renters preferred.
