"Not that we've much of a choice for the time being. There're four bedrooms available, two upstairs, two downstairs, so pick your favorite. A couple of them may still have some things left over from the previous tenants, I'm afraid. I never got around to cleaning them out."

Other than that, the house is very clean, though it stops a little short of spotless. The kitchen is notable only in that the small appliances don't match the style of the large ones, almost as if someone stole the original machines for parts when he first moved in and later replaced them with a set of his own design.
"I'll get you set up with a code for the door in just a moment," he continues, without pausing. "My name's Qubit, by the way, I might have forgotten to mention that. If you have any questions about anything, just let me know."
