So, the craigslist response from the previous post was a serious no-go. It was a boarding house-type situation with some pretty sinister-looking characters. One of the tenants reminded me of Ernie from Hey Arnold! He was not unpleasant. The rest were slightly scary. The proprietor wanted $400 a month for a room, plus about $150 in utilities. And did I mention that 6 people share ONE bathroom?
Apparently the room was for rent immediately because the previous tenant brought alcohol into the house which was not allowed. She had been asked to leave by month's end, but showed up while I was looking at the tiny wood paneled room- still filled with her things. After spouting some rude, aggressive words she seemed to calm down. I very carefully kept my hands where she could see them so that she would not think I was trying to steal from her. Not that she had a single thing I would have been willing to touch, let alone take.
Luckily I had Sammy with me. I felt better about going into a potentially strange situation with him than by myself.
