Roommate needed for great, bike-friendly Logan Square apartment

My excellent roommate Melissa just completed culinary school and got an exciting offer to cook at a lodge in Custer State Park in South Dakota, starting Monday. So I’m looking for someone to take her place in our very nice, conveniently located apartment in Logan Square.

The new roommate’s rent would be $500/month plus utilities, plus a $500 security deposit. The room is available immediately, but moving in any time before May 31 would be OK.

The place is completely furnished, so this would be great for someone without a lot of stuff. In fact, the new roommate can use Melissa’s bed, armchair and dresser if they like. The room includes a normal clothes closet, plus a huge second closet, used by a former tenant as a darkroom.

I’m a 39-year-old, non-smoking freelance writer and bike shop staffer. I like to keep things nice – dishes done promptly, no smoking in the house, regular housecleaning, etc.
