Description

Hi all!! :) 
First of all, If you are interested in the room, PLEASE read my ad, as i want to live with someone who cares about getting along with the flatmate/me as well as having a suitable room. Having said that, if u do want to see it, message me just a little bit about u and your day/time preference for a viewing.

My flatmate had a last minute issue and needs to move back home (abroad) and thus her room will be available. The current contract ends 4th June 2025, but It will be a change of name/ amendment to the contract and all will be dealt with by the agency/ landlord in the proper way. Of course all bills names will be changed as well. When the contract finishes we can renew it if we want to, the agency & landlord have been quite nice and understanding thus far. My flatmate is leaving in about a week, so moving time is somewhat flexible. Ideally by Sept 4th, and end of September as absolute latest.

About the flat / room:
It is a 2 bed / 2 bathroom flat in Ability Place on the 9th floor. The room available is the smaller one, but it has the biggest bathroom (with bath & shower). It is small but cozy and has everything needed. The bed can be lifted and has storage underneath. The room does not fit a desk in it (maybe a small one potentially), but, as you can see in some of the photos, my previous flatmate used to work from the living room (the standing desk from the living room was his and taken away but included in the photos for reference). I have my desk in my room and keep busy with work / appointments etc so we haven’t found this to be a problem - and he worked 100% from home. There is a kitchen/living room with pretty much everything needed.
There is 24/7, super friendly, concierge, a spa with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna as well as a fully equipped gym which is actually quite big if compared to other resident-only gyms. It is also open everyday, Mon-Fri 6am - 11pm and weekends 6am-10pm which is quite good. There are options for treatments, such as massage as well as personal training etc. There are also lockers on the ground floor for dry cleaning pick-ups. It is 4-5 mins walk from South Quay DLR and about 10-12 minutes from Canary Wharf Station. There is a small Tesco and a Tian Tian supermarket right next door within seconds walk, as well as a Waitrose 10 mins walk or so.

The room/flat is slightly on the lower end of the market prices at the moment (crazy) because I have negotiated a lot with the landlord / agency since I have lived in the flat for 3 years and unfortunately, had to fight cancer & side effects of treatment for the past year. I am in remission now for quite some time, but in the process of getting my life back together and with lots of healthcare appointments going on, but thankfully nothing super serious! =) haha

Bills are not included, but roughly they are per person per month: Council tax (band E): £80-90; Water £20-25; Hyperoptic Wifi: £25; Electricity: £60-100 depending on the month (or at least this has been so far, all in all I budget an average of £200 for bills, possibly a bit less in summer and a bit more in winter)

About me:
I work in finance. I have been living in London for 10+ years and always shared flats. I am originally from Argentina (but I inherited an Italian passport - although i do NOT speak Italian, just Spanish and English =D ) I do like to spend time getting to know my flatmates and many of the ‘randoms’ I’ve lived with have become super close friends of mine. I am super friendly, social and easygoing, but equally respectful, clean and considerate of other’s space and privacy (as you can imagine, the social part has not been very active the past year but hey, working on getting it back). My family live in Argentina, so where I live and who I live with are very important to me. Also, It is okay to have someone over every now and then, if you want (as long as we respect each other’s space & peace), but it is definitely not a party flat nor a room for a couple for more than just occasional  visit every now and then as its not big enough for 3 people.
Even though I am in finance, I used to be a dancer before, so I love all sorts of dancing & yoga and I am also a fitness and mindfulness enthusiast. I am not a fan of cooking but I like being healthy so this forced me to find ways to make cooking easy, nutritious and efficient :) So I cook every now and then but I am not the type that will take over the kitchen ever haha. Finally, as i mentioned, I spent the past year fighting cancer, which was tough, but out of it now and looking into going back to ‘normal’ slowly. I highly dislike drama and I love peace and good energy.
In a flatmate, I look for someone similar in terms of friendly and easy going but also respectful of each other’s spaces. No need for OCD but clean overall. Hopefully you read the description, and If you did read this far write ‘ability place 123’ in your message and tell me a bit about yourself as well :)

If you would like more photos or arrange a viewing let me know.
