Monday to Friday friendly houseshare in Dalston

Monday to Friday room for a professional woman over 32. Please state, when enquiring, that you have understood this is only for 4 nights a week (not weekends), for someone who has a permanent home elsewhere, works or studies in London and needs a place to stay just during the week (not working from home). You are welcome to leave personal things over the weekends. I just ask that the room is left tidy for friends / family who may very occasionally stay for a weekend (I provide all their bedding and clean the room after their stay).

Lovely, light, private, double room in a quiet close, yet less than 100 metres from the lively main street, with its great choice of restaurants, cafés, bars etc. Easy access to central London via Dalston Kingsland station (6-7 minutes walk), Dalston Junction (10-12 minutes) and lots of buses. A short ride to the City and Liverpool Street station.

This is a three storey terraced house on the edge of a small, friendly estate. The house is light, clean, warm, comfortable and wonderfully quiet. There is a nice large kitchen / diner, which opens onto a small, sunny, garden patio. All rooms open off a central hall / stairwell, so are very private. 

The room is on the top floor (2nd), East facing, sunny and quiet, with a 1.4 x 2m double bed, hypoallergenic mattress, a cupboard, desk and swivel chair. There is a bathroom, with shower, on the same floor and a second shower room on the ground floor. Both bathrooms are for everyone's use. 

I am a semi-retired yoga therapist and hypnotherapist, working mostly from home. The other housemate is a 50 year old professional woman, who has lived here for nearly 4 years (the Mon-Fri tenant who is leaving has been here for 2 years). We are quiet, friendly and sociable, enjoy a chat in the kitchen, but also like quiet, downtime and respect other people's need for it too. I am well used to sharing my home, both as a lodger and a landlady, and have made some lasting friends this way. I’m looking for a responsible, friendly, woman over 32, a non-smoker, in full-time employment.

Rent is £650 pcm, payable monthly by bank standing order. The deposit is one month's rent. All bills are included.

There is broadband wi-fi and a household TV licence. You have the use of all communal areas in the house and of the kitchen equipment.

Dalston is a really great location, a lively, arty, interesting, friendly, ethnic mix and well served with transport links. Within a few minutes walk there are lots of coffee shops, fantastic and reasonably priced restaurants, bars, jazz clubs and other music venues, a cinema, an art gallery, the Arcola Theatre, EartH arts venue, Ridley Road street market, lots of ethnic food shops, including some very good Turkish supermarkets, M&S, Co-op, Aldi and a large Sainsbury’s, also a dry cleaners /clothes & shoe repairers just at the end of our little street.
