Yes, the room is still available. I am most aware of a number of rent scammers on here; since I placed the ad, all who have such replied have turned out to be scammers and I am very alert. If you are truly interested in this renting this room, then please tell me more about you, - who what when where and why - and give me a telephone phone number of which I can speak with you. I will ask for references and I will check them.

Thank you for responding.
