- Are SWer and sex positive
- Are pet friendly!

About us:
Helena (she/ her) is a bi cis-woman who works as an artist assistant. She loves making things, DIY, and is out of the house a lot for Covid-safe work.
Aoife (zhi/ zhim) is a genderqueer disabled dyke who enjoys historical costuming, gardening, and talking.

As a household, due to COVID-19, we are together a lot, so we try to make it work by being considerate and polite. We usually share meals at least once every two weeks or so, though that isn’t a set rule, and bøñg hits whenever.

We’re generally morning people and are quiet in the evenings, usually going to bed before 10pm.

We respect peoples need for sleep, etc.

We have a rough cleaning schedule which we try our best at, but also give space to people’s mental and physical state with their disabilities. All we ask is that you communicate with us and try your best.
Thanks for reading all that!

We are open to in-person viewings depending on COVID circumstances, and are happy to do viewings over Whatsapp. Just contact us to organise!
We also ask that those who identify as men please not apply at this time. Thank you!
