American in London, Seeking Room + Kind Flatmates

My name is Ashley. I’m 33 and from the US (most recently NYC and DC), seeking a double room in London for long-term rent starting in March or early April.

After traveling the world for a year and a half, I’ve recently moved to London to set up a home base, with a full-time job lined up at a consulting firm starting in March. I will be in-office at least 3 days a week, likely more at the beginning to get to know co-workers.

I lived in New York for 10 years, all of them with roommates, so I am well practiced in treating housemates and common space with love and respect. Coming from the US, I am mostly have personal items like clothing that will stay in my room, so I am happy to discuss common room things like kitchen items (i. e. if you prefer that I not take up space in the kitchen, that’s easy! Or if you prefer I buy dishes to use that’s not a problem either).

I enjoy time at home, but I also love travel, which is MUCH easier from London than from the US. I’m hoping to travel to cities in the EU and across the UK at least once a month.

I don’t smoke. I enjoy puzzles, a smoky whiskey, and am hoping to start a hobby making syrups / flavorings for coffee and cocktails. I will likely cook when I can to save money, but I always clean up after myself.

I'm friendly and pretty easy-going. I appreciate living with people who are clean and respectful. It would be fantastic to find flatmates who want to do the occasional dinner or pub quiz together, but I am also respectful of boundaries and introvert space :)

I love animals - I don't have any fur babies of my own. but bonus points if you do!
