About the current roomies:

There is one male roommate, as well as the homeowner and his wife. The homeowner is a married, mature California native, a journalist/personal historian into hiking, mountain biking, writing and photography. His wife is a professional who is into cooking, reading and community service.

The one roommate is only here 4 days a week, then leaves on Thursdays and is gone for the weekend. (He stays with family in Orange County for the weekends.) He is a single, mid-'20's aerospace engineer working on a Master's degree via online classes. Very quiet, very respectful.
