In case you are wondering how things are going in San Francisco’s housing market, check out this new listing:

In a sad-yet-creative effort to live through California’s housing crisis, this Craigslist listing offers someone the chance to live like everyone’s favorite boy wizard … in a 3-by-10-foot “Harry Potter cubby” under the stairs.

He even threw up a broom as decor for the full experience! 🤣

The saddest part is that the staircase in the movie looks better than this place.

Craigslist

I wish I could find some other name for it because I don’t really care about Harry Potter that much, I’m much more of a Lord of the Rings guy. But uh – it’s just a place to sleep.

The guy renting it out says his rent increased in August to almost $1,800 per month, and he realized he wouldn’t be able to afford to live in this place for more than 11 months.

So, he’s looking for one lucky person (who is probably down on their luck) to share his one-bedroom, one-bath unit. He doesn’t care if his new roommate is a male or female as long as they are a “nice nerdy gamer.”

This bargain-basement residence can be yours for only $250 a month, plus a side of light household chores!

There’s more to this deal than meets the eye. You will have access to the apartment’s kitchen, bathroom, Wi-Fi, TV, and even an Xbox. Utilities included!

What’s the catch?

(Other than living in a cot under a staircase…)

The ad lays down some house rules: “Must not have a criminal record, any addictions, or pets.” AND “No guests, ever (sorry bout that, but seriously, who’d want to come visit this place?)”

Pros –
Cheap
I’m a pretty good cook, and willing to share usually
Will share your love of nerd stuff
Air Conditioned and heated
Can run a D&D game for you
gated parking

Cons –
Kind of in the ghetto
chores/cleaning

Interested applicants are invited to apply with their favorite video game in the subject line (or he “will not reply”).

So, if you’re looking to combine budget housing with an enchanted vibe, this might just be the staircase for you!
