Please write a little bit about yourself in the response to this posting and please tell us how long you would like to stay and what your start starting date would be. We will be meeting with potential roommates (skype can also work if you are from out of town) asap.

Here's some more details about the room/apartment:

The room has direct access to the bathroom through a private door, the bathroom is shared with one other roommate (male). In addition, it has a walk-in (or more precisely walk-through) closet area, which has one closet for hanging clothes on one side (the door with the mirror in the picture), and built-in shelves and drawers on the other side.
