Seeking Trustworthy and Reliable Lodger

I have a 2 bedroom first floor flat in a converted Victorian house in St. Andrews with private garden. Just one other flat in the building, very quiet people. We’re just round the corner from the lovely park and the Gloucester Road independent shops are at the bottom of the street. Nice neighbours. Nice bright sunny flat. Cute cat.

I have just turned 60 and am taking a 6 month sabbatical from my NHS job (I’m an arts therapist) from September to March inclusive. I’m planning to do some travelling in that time and my lodger will love and care for the cat while I'm away in exchange for having the place to themselves for extended periods of time.

I lead a quiet, peaceful lifestyle and am seeking a lodger who does the same. I'm friendly and love a good conversation over a glass or two of wine. I also enjoy my own company and there are times when I prefer not to talk. I keep a clean, tidy home most of the time and would like you to do the same but I'm not going to get stressed if a cushion's out of place. I'm open to sharing meals but also happy to cater for myself, whichever you prefer.

This is a lovely flat in a great neighbourhood and I'm not too bad myself.
