Renter Needed

ANYONE LOOKING TO MOVE INTO THEIR OWN APARTMENT AFTER FINALS?

I'm moving out of my apartment in mid-December, the weekend after finals. Its month to month so I'm not in a jam to look for someone to take over a lease or anything. But its really cheap, so I wanted to see if anyone wanted it before my landlord puts it out on the market. Its $700 rent, utilities included (including cable tv), furnished. Its very small, maybe 350 square feet. There's a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, george forman grill, and a regular sized fridge. The bathroom has a standup shower, no tub. You don't need to bring anything in, it comes with all the furniture you need including a TV.

The address is 1092 Fresno Street #10A San Diego, CA 92110.
