Room for rent - feeler (fairfield / vacaville) $400

I have 1 room in a 2 bedroom 1 bath apt for rent in fairfield close to highway 12 & 80. I have this labeled as a feeler because i am not in a financial bind so renting the room to the RIGHT person is the highest priority. I am a single male 25 that manages a retail store, i do not do drugs or smoke i do have alcohol in the house but drink casually, am fairly clean and keep to my self when actually at home since i do work around 50+ hours a week, im a respectful person and never have complaints from any neighbors. What I'm looking for is an individual that cleans up after themselves and is respectful of my belongings, mid 20's and up is preferred with a stable job/career and good references. Male roommate is preferred as it is a shared bathroom and that is usually a problem for females but if that is not a big deal i am open either way. no drugs period, and any smoking or drinking should not effect current living conditions. and is looking for a long term stay i dont want anyone planing on less than 6 months. $400 covers rent, utilities, dsl 3mbit, and att u-verse once available, the kitchen is large with areas for your own stuff and front room has tv ect. Like i said this is a Feeler so if you match the criteria and think this will be a good match shoot me an email first and then we can go from there, i will want to talk with you to make sure we mesh and have a common understanding. I can send pictures on request. Thanks Drew.
