ABOUT THE ROOM

Front-Facing Street Views & Natural Light | Private Furnished Room in Lakewood

Mzazi Room is a spacious approximately 151 sq. ft. private furnished bedroom positioned at the front of garden-level Suite 35B. Measuring approximately 12'11" × 11'9", the room has high-set windows on two sides that bring natural daylight into the space and provide front-facing views toward Upham Street. Its generous footprint, dedicated workspace, built-in closet storage, and wood-look LVP flooring create a comfortable private room for sleeping, working, reading, and settling into an everyday routine.

Named Mzazi — Swahili for parent, the room’s identity centers on family, protection, care, and heritage. A striking red portrait of a Maasai mother carrying her child anchors the story, while a second piece above the bed depicts family and community life outside an East African homestead. Together, the artwork gives the room a sense of connection across generations rather than simply decorating the walls.

Additional cultural details continue that story throughout the bedroom, including African wildlife imagery, warm wood furnishings, red textile accents, and a “Karibu Welcome” sign near the entrance. The result is a room that feels warm and grounded while reflecting a simple idea at the heart of the name Mzazi: home is often where care, guidance, belonging, and welcome begin.

The central thermostat is located inside Suite 35A and maintained within the property's standard operating range of approximately 70°F–75°F to provide a predictable residential comfort profile for both homes.

Smoking & Cannabis

Who This Works Well For

Shared Living is designed for an accountable, clean, and independent resident with steady, verifiable income who wants a peaceful furnished place to settle in and is comfortable sharing a home with one other independently screened resident.

A good fit is someone who values personal space while respecting that kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, laundry facilities, and outdoor spaces are shared. Residents should be comfortable cleaning up promptly after themselves, participating equitably in routine household upkeep, respecting quiet hours and property boundaries, and maintaining their private bedroom in clean, sanitary condition.

We provide independent furnished housing. Residents must be able to manage their own daily living and household responsibilities independently.

Screening & Residency

• Standardized Screening: We use a standardized screening process to evaluate standard housing qualifications, property fit, and practical shared-living compatibility. Screening includes the Resident Screening & Household-Fit Questionnaire followed, where there appears to be mutual fit, by identity, income, rental-history, and background verification. Government-issued identification is required.
• Residency Terms: Single occupancy per bedroom. One-month minimum stay with month-to-month residency thereafter, subject to the Residency Agreement.
• Household Compatibility: We screen prospective residents for practical shared-living compatibility but do not guarantee roommate compatibility or manage ordinary interpersonal disagreements. Where applicable, an existing resident may provide practical household-compatibility input; final resident-selection decisions remain with us as the housing provider.

Shared-Home Standards

• Residents are responsible for routine household cleaning and cleaning up promptly after themselves.
• Residents participate equitably in a simple resident-managed household cleaning and upkeep roster.
• Private bedrooms must be maintained in clean, sanitary condition.
• Resident belongings must not create unsanitary conditions, pest risks, excessive accumulation, blocked doors, windows, walkways or vents, fire or safety hazards, property damage, or interference with reasonable inspection, maintenance, or repair access.
• Quiet-hours, visitor, smoking, safety, property-care, and shared-household requirements apply throughout the residency.
• To maintain the privacy of all residents and uphold our low-density living environment, overnight guests are not permitted. Visitors must comply with applicable residence and shared-household requirements.
• Shared-Space Etiquette: Shared outdoor areas are available for resident use, while individual entrances, garages, parking areas, and other designated private spaces remain private to their respective residences.
• Pets: Approved cats and dogs only must be housebroken and able to safely coexist with other residents and approved pets in a shared living environment. Pet approval is not guaranteed and will consider household compatibility, allergies, safety, and the existing resident and pet configuration.
• Pet Supervision: The large fenced residential yard is shared with only two other quiet residences and provides approved dogs additional outdoor space. Pets must remain supervised, and residents are responsible for promptly picking up and properly disposing of pet waste.
• Wildlife: Wildlife may occasionally be present outdoors. Residents with pets are encouraged to supervise their pets while they are out in the yard.
• Routine property inspections include both shared areas and resident bedrooms.
• Smoking, vaping, and cannabis use are prohibited inside the residence and other enclosed areas.
