Hello prospective new flatmate!
My flatmate is leaving the country, so I have a furnished room available.

ROOM & FLAT:
The room is part of a cosy 2 bed flat and comes fully furnished with a double bed with mattress and under bed storage, wardrobe, 2 chests of drawers and hanging rail. The room has a large window and is naturally bright.

The flat is on the third floor (with lift) and overlooks a small communal garden. It has a well-equipped kitchen and a cosy living room with sofas and a dining table, and a small bathroom with shower. The oven is quite old, but we also have a small air fryer. All windows have double glazing, everything is electric and the heating, which is included in the bills, can be regulated in each room.

All common spaces are shared with me, as it would be only the two of us! The flat is small, so we try and be respectful when we’re home. It is a relaxing space, ideal if you are not interested in having many parties or loud gatherings – but happy to host dinners/friends. We also keep the property clean at all times and ideally there would be a cleaning rota that we try our best to stick to. If you are looking for a peaceful and homy place to live, then this is it!

AREA:
The flat is brilliantly connected, just a 10min walk from Angel and Old Street tube stations and close to many bus routes. It is within walking distance from many lovely areas: 15-20min from Barbican Centre and St. Paul’s cathedral, 20min from Shoreditch, 10min from Angel and 25min from Kings Cross.

There is plenty of shops all around the area, including all the main groceries within walking distance - Aldi, Coop, Tesco, Sainsburys, M&S, Waitrose, you name it!

YOU:
I am looking for a friendly female young professional of a similar age (~30-45) who is in search of a long-term accommodation. Ideally, you are a friendly and reliable person who is respectful and likes to maintain shared living areas in order. You are clean, open to communicate with and you want to live in a flat that feels like home. It would be great to have a glass of wine together, cook dinner or explore the neighbourhood, but I’d be equally happy if you have your own busy life.

Bonus points if you care a minimum about the environment (recycling, turning lights off when you leave a room, etc.).

ME:
My name is Lidia, I'm 38 and I work as a data analyst in the sustainability sector. I have lived in London for four years, and I keep busy with multiple activities. I am clean and tidy, very respectful of other people's spaces, sociable and easy going. I am mostly working from home at the moment, going to the office once or twice a week.
