Rooms to Rent

I'm searching online for accommodation in D.C., where I'll be moving in a week to take my new job (woohoo!). After going through a couple services that charge, I found Craig's List which is free (so far), and is much more free-form; people don't fill out little checklists for you. It works better, because you get a much better impression of who's on the computer opposite you trying to find a roommate. Some of the ads are real gems... or downright scary.

We have rooms or couches/sleeping spaces AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY which you do not have to pay anything ( just pay $40/Month only for phone & utilities ) No, if you are looking for a catch or any catches, we do not have that for you, sorry!!! We are looking for special roommates, not just anyone out from the street, and we do not need money because we have already made enough ends meet. We only want the right roommates, money means nothing to us. You can stay for FREE as long as you want at our places. Everything is up to you. No catches, no bulls, no strings, no lies, no obligations, no papers, no contracts, no nothing of anykinds or anything whatsoever. At anytime you want to move out just walk out at anytime, no questions asked... We must know exactly who you are before we call you and meet you. So please identify yourself and send E-mail to us ( Do not waste your time writing long letter, just tell us who you are, NOT what you do for living, not what you like or dislike ) today at: europe4567@yahoo.com

And another one...current occupants: hot single chick, young couple (we are dj's), and seeking a fourth for living purposes... Sorry no pets, no country music, high maintenance princesses, or people who don't have their own lives.

And yet another...I'm a 32 yo professional male. I just moved to a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse within 5 min walk to the Vienna metro. I am very busy and am looking for an attractive female to move in, that can help me clean the house, make dinner, walk the dog, etc.. In exchange I can offer free room and board or even pay a salary?? European descent a plus!
