Vancouver rentals: ‘Room available if you cook very rarely & you don’t have much stuff’

If you really need to use a kitchen, you'll have to pay extra

There's a cheap room to rent in Vancouver right now, so long as you're a fan of cereal for breakfast and charcuterie for dinner.

An ad on Craigslist states it bluntly in its title: "Room available if you cook very rarely & you don't have much stuff."

The listing says the monthly rental rate is $895.

The ground floor living space has a room available, the ad goes on to state, but there's only a fridge and a microwave. However, if cooking time is needed, there is a way to get kitchen access.

"We can allow you to use a kitchen on a different floor once a week if you're okay with paying another $100 per month."

The ad notes there's a grocery store five minutes away.

Additionally, there's one roommate, and the room is restricted to females only.

On many other ads for unusual living situations in Vancouver, it's usually the sleeping space that's odd (though not always just that). In this case, it appears the bedroom is a reasonable space, with a closet, bed, and dresser. There are also two washrooms in the living space, but no other rooms are mentioned.
