Find Flatmates & Rooms for Rent in Bakersfield, CA

Hello Prospective Roomies! I hope you're doing absolutely fabulous! I'm looking for a roomie, housemates, in Chico for 2 or 3 weeks of October 2025, and in November I will be going down to the Santa Barbara area (anywhere between Isla Vista, and maybe as far as Santa Monica). I will be down there for a few months, working, living and helping out a family member in Santa Barbara, so I will need to be in reasonable driving distance of Santa Barbara from November to January or perhaps until April. I can be described as a peaceful person, a very down to earth male, who is not looking to complicate a living situation, I'm not planning to date or go out partying. Although I don't mind having a drink now and then, or social drinking. I'm a non-smoker, I don't mind if you smoke, but I prefer not to live in a place that smells like smoke, especially not cigarette smoke. I do not smoke cannabis, and do not mind if you do, although I would prefer it not be smoked in my room, but in common areas only. I do not own any pets, but I love animals, and they generally love me too, I am friendly with all kinds of animals as well. I'm just looking for a short term rental, with either male(s) or female(s) (it doesn't matter which or even both) roomies, for a 1 month to possibly 3 months (6 months would be probably the Maximum time, and it is a slighty possibility) I'm in Chico, CA now, handling some family things and will not be staying in Chico for more than a few weeks to a month. So I can pay rent here weekly in Chico, if anyone needs a BnB type guest in October 2025. I'm flexible on living situations, I get along with people very well. Although I can afford a hotel, I would prefer not to live in a hotel for a month or 2 or 3 weeks, so, I hope someone needs a short term roommate where I can help you save money on expenses, rather than help a hotel franchise get richer. I will gladly help with cooking, taking turns doing household chores, cleaning as a normal roommate would, I'm very clean and live a quiet life, I read a lot, and do not even own a tv at the moment so I will be a very low key roomie. I have a car, but do not have a lot of things to move in, so it will be a quick move in and out, and I have no excessively large things to haul in either. Since I do own a car, a parking spot would be great if possible. I only require a place to put a bed, such as a room (furnished or unfinished, shared or private), even a temporary room, or the like, as well as having access to a shared or private shower/ bath, a bathroom and a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator for making small meals once or so a day. I enjoy music, good movies, literature, nature, DIY, such as fixing things, making homemade soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, herbal remedies, I also cook decently, and try to be as natural as possible, I am also a very clean and tidy person, but relaxed about other peoples personal habit styles. So I don't mind if you're kind of the messy type. I enjoy the company of and relate to people who are labeled weird, different, a little strange, because I get along well with Neural A-typical people, creative types, artists, musicians, writers, who are non-judgemental, non-bossy, and generally are accepting of others and or the relaxed and easy going types. I generally do not like to keep company with people who display toxic traits such as unnecessary displays of aggression, ego, pride, racism, and gender biases, I do not hang with anyone who displays that kind of behavior on a regular basis, we all have faults, and I can work with a person who is trying to improve, but I have to draw a line somewhere. I'm well educated, well spoken and my daily conduct reflects that, and you can expect me to maintain a high level of courtesy and respect towards you and your guests at all times. Although I'm good at diffusing tensions in a group or crowd with reason, logic, persuasion, and compromise, although I'd rather not have to do that if it can be avoided. I do have the makings of a great roommate, I prefer a low drama living situation. Yes life can be a little bit dramatic sometimes, and drama cannot be completely avoided, but I hope you know what I mean. Thanks for reading, and have a great day.
