About This Lister

My name is Mark Michener. I have owned 257 12th Street for 37 years. Every year we have worked hard to improve and maintain this beautiful 126-year-old building. I live 150 miles away in Pennsylvania. I have a small army of professionals who I have worked with for years. And even though after 37 years there are not many things that go wrong, if they do, the people I work with are very responsive. I am a landlord that wants to know immediately if anything in the house is not as it should be. And I will address it immediately. Other than that, you will not hear from me. So, you and the other housemates can enjoy this beautiful, quiet old house.
The housemates have described the "vibe" of the house and what they are looking for in a housemate in the following way:

"Our ideal housemate would be clean, take initiative around the house (taking out trash etc.), be respectful of the other roommates and boundaries, have good communication skills, be friendly although not looking for roommates to be friends with (if it happens naturally that is great). Overall, we hope to find someone who is willing to contribute to keeping the wonderful and peaceful vibe we have going right now.
Recently we’ve put a lot of effort into refreshing the living space with new furniture and art and Mark has kindly updated a lot of the kitchen appliances. Rosa - our delightful cleaning lady comes every two weeks (cost is in addition to rent). We’re mainly looking for someone who is easy-going, independent and respectful of the rest of the housemates."
