Herbivore
In zoology, an herbivore is an animal that is adapted to eat primarily plant matter (rather than meat). Although such animals are sometimes refered to as being vegetarian, this term is more properly reserved for humans who choose not to eat meat as opposed to animals that are unable to.

Herbivores can be further classified into various sub-groups, such as frugivores, which eat mainly fruit; or folivores, which specialize in eating leaves. This specialization is far from universal, however, and many fruit- and leaf-eating animals also eat other parts of plants, notably roots and seeds. The diets of some herbivorous animals vary with the seasons, especially in the temperate zones, where different plant foods are most available at different times of year.

Cozy downtown Berkeley 1 bedroom Christmas apartment 1-2 beds internet (berkeley) $45
Just a short walk from Herbivore (http://www.herbivorerestaurant.com/) and Stone Mountain and Daughter, Berkeley's best fabric store (http://www.stonemountainfabric.com/) is our cozy one bedroom apartment. I'd say the apartment was built in the 20's but the truth is, no one really knows how old the building is. It used to be farther up in the Berkeley hills and sometime in the 40's was moved down to downtown Berkeley. Its current owner has enthusiastically painted over the original carving and textured tin wallpaper, but vestiges of the original beauty remain in the wood floors, gazillions of tall skinny windows, and soaring 18' ceilings. Our apartment, complete with cat, will be available November 16th through approximately January 4th. It is a hop, skip, and a jump from all locations in downtown Berkeley and a 10 minute walk to the UC Berkeley campus. It is a rare one-bedroom with a door that closes (!) and a Queen bed with 3 month-old memory foam mattress. If need be, we also have a queen sized air mattress which will entirely fill up the living room when inflated. All utilities included as well as access to our Comcast wireless super-duper high speed internet (and tech support, should you need help with your hook up). The cat is part of the package- we keep our nightly cost lower than the actual cost to us to make sure we find great people who like cats. He doesn't need skads of attention, but he needs to be fed 1x daily and he'd appreciate a head scratch (or a quick brush) once in a while. We're looking for two things: the right person/people for our space who like cats and will be staying for the majority of the time we're gone.

Room Available in Great 4 Bedroom Flat! (alamo square / nopa) $768
The house: We live on the top floor (of three) of a huge old building, built in 1905. It's got all the old detail you want and sometimes it feels like it's just barely holding on. But it's a sturdy old place, full of life and we love it. The rooms are huge. Seriously, really big. Tall ceilings throughout (which is important, as one of our housemates is 6'7"!!)and hardwood floors in the hallway and all the bedrooms. The layout is faily typical with the living room, kitchen rooms (yes there are two kitchen rooms) and bathrooms (there's only one bathroom, but the toilet is in a seperate room from the shower and sink, which is nice when everyone is trying to get ready in the morning)are all at one end of the house while the four bedrooms are on the other. The living room is large and currently has two couches and a recliner. The recliner isn't going anywhere, but if you have a nice couch, we're happy to part with either of the ones we currently have. We also have access to the roof, which is a really nice bonus when the fog hasn't rolled in yet. Location: Centrally located like nobody's business. We are within five blocks of the following major bus lines: 5 Fulton (1/2 block) 31 Balboa (block & 1/2) 21 Hayes (4 blocks) 38 Masonic (1 block) 24 Divisadero (5 blocks) We are also a block a half from Lucky's, five blocks from Trader Joes, five blocks from all the cool stuff on Divisadero (Bar 821, Little Star Pizza, Waizema, Farmer's Market on weekends, Fly Bar, Madrone, Herbivore, ect). Five blocks to the Panhandle. Ten blocks to Haight Street. A block and half to Papalote and Poleng Lounge. It's pretty much the best neighborhood ever. If you have a car, street parking is fairly easy. I've never had to park further than two blocks away. Who We Are: -Jeff, 28, Teacher. Jeff is tall, hilarious and likes to dance. He doesn't want me to describe him, but too bad. He's really a good guy and has a biting sense of humor. He's fun to live with and easy to be around. -Jenny, 25, Non-Profit Do-Gooder. Jenny is the newest member of our little family, having only moved in a month ago. She is from New York and is amazingly sweet, genuine, funny, super smart and a real joy to have around. She likes to ride her bike around town and is enjoying getting to know San Francisco. -Amber (that's me) 32, Non-Profit Office Manager/Massage Therapy Student/Magazine Editor. I'm not home too much, but when I am, I am pretty easy to be with. I am funny, smart, sarcastic and generally a happy person. We all get along and actually like one another. We'd like someone who can fit into that dynamic. We go out together sometimes, but for the most part we watch some tv or read or play games. I know there are those who hate tv...if you are one of those folks, this may not be a good fit for you. While it's not our life, the tv or a movie is usually on in the living room in the evenings. Stipulations: We all drink, so if you're sober this isn't the right place for you. This IS NOT a party house, however. This is our home, and we are adults and we'd all like to live with other sane but funny people who have their shit together. Amber smokes a little but never in the house. She also smokes a little pot, but again never in the house. There are no hard core drugs now and we do not want any. There is also NO DRAMA. We like eachother, we hang out, and if there is an issue, we discuss it and resolve it. End of story. As much as I'd love to have a furry friend around, there are no pets allowed, sorry. You: We would prefer a man, if only to even out the balance, but are open to cool girls too. We would prefer someone in our general age range, but again, are open to whoever, we just want the right fit. You can be gay, straight, bi, whatever...we don't care. Just don't be having sex in the kitchen. You can be any race, we love everyone. We'd prefer it if you had a good steady job that paid you enough to cover the rent ($768) and bills ($75ish per person per month). We'd like it if you had a life...one that you liked and spent time living. We're all busy people and would like to live with someone who had their own things going on. Again, NO DRAMA. Be sane-ish, funny, smart, chill and creative. Don't be a douchebag. Details: Move in November 1. Cost: First Month's Rent to be paid to Jeff. Deposit ($768) to be paid to our outgoing roomate. If you have a ton of furniture, we don't have much storage, so that could be an issue. We also live on the top floor, so moving in up three flights of stairs can be hard work. We'd love to meet you this weekend, so please let me know your Saturday availablity. Please also send me information about you and why you might like to live here. Cool.

If you are a lover of authentic San Francisco early 1900's edwardian artictecture, then today is your lucky day. Our building is one of the few remaining buildings that have authentic wood fixtures from the 1930's that were never painted over, original antique murphy bed closets (full 180 degree swivel), and victorian style pocket doors, all original wood. As you walk throughout the entire building you see the deep brown stain of antique wood which is just so rare to come by these days. This particuliar unit is one of four units in the building. It is in the rear of the building, so although you are in one of the most happening parts of San Francisco, you would never know it as you are away from the street noise. This unit is also on the second floor facing west so it gets a tremendous amount of natural light and looks out unto our backyard which is a simple yet elegant combination of cactus garden and drip irrigation black bamboo. As for the neighbors, well we like to consider ourselves very mellow owner tenants who like a cool and relaxed environment. I am a business owner here in the city who bought the building 5 years ago. My wife is an artist who works for a very hip startup here in the city. We are in our early 30's and the other tenants are very similiar in demeanor and age.

Most of the time we just chill at home and make dinner, as our street is very quiet and relaxed. But you can walk just about anywhere and get anything you want in less than 5 minutes! Within 3 blocks there is even more... here are a few highlights.... NOPA Restaurant www.nopasf.com/ Madrone Vodka Bar Herbivore Restaurant (Vegetarian Food) Cool Hookah Bar who's name I am forgetting Little Star Pizza Fly Bar Tsunami's Sushi Bar Cafe Abir Candy Wine and Dessert Bar .....to be honest with you the list goes on and on as we are in the middle of the most up and coming neighborhood in all of San Francisco!

I moved here following college at U.C.S.D. where I received degrees in Management Science and Philosophy. I currently work in the Financial District at a Real Estate Investment and Management company. I have already found two roommates whom are two of my best friends from U.C.S.D. One roommate is attending USF Law School, and the other is a chef with a drive to get into Medical School. We are all very motivated an active. You would be on a month to month basis. Since you will be paying rent to me, I would like to review your credit report. If you don’t have one, we can arrange something to verify your financial dependability. Unfortunately, we have not yet made room selections (except for one). This may work to your advantage depending on your needs.

Rent will be prorated for the month. Total move-in will be $1,350 + $450 to $550 = $1,800 to $1,900. If this situation sounds appealing please contact me and let me know if you would like to come by. I know the market is rough out there right now as I spent the last two months looking for a place as well. We plan to move fast and hope to be completely situated by Sunday evening.
