Double room in a 2 bedroom flat in Bruntsfield

Double room in a much sought-out location, 5 minute walk to the Meadows, 25 minute walk into city centre, lots of green spaces, lots of good coffee places - what's not to like!

The rent given does not include bills. All inclusive it comes to £820 per month.

I am the main tenant in the flat and have been living here for the past 10 years and have very much made this place a home I delight being in and I hope that whoever joins me here, will appreciate the ambience. There's lots of colour here, fluffy sheepskin rugs, immense amount of plants and lots of artwork on the walls.
A little bit about me. I'm a 45 yr old female and work as a therapist. I completely adore my job, but as I spend tremendous amount of time with people at work - at home I like peace and quiet. My current flatmate who is sadly leaving the country and I have shared very similar expectations with regards to what we would like home to be. We do have people over for dinner and we have family and friends visiting from abroad, but I would say it's an 80/20 rule where most of the time we just go about our lives in relative peace and undisturbed. So I suppose someone who does not see home as a hub for social life, but rather a place where you recharge and go inwards, would be my preference.

I would be looking for a person who will have a similar diurnal rhythm to me, which means mostly that the quiet hours start at 10pm. Also, I would rather the evening cooking time did not happen later than 7.30 or 8 if possible, as my bedroom is near the kitchen and I can be quite disturbed by intense smells. If you haven't been put off by all that specificity, read on...

The flat would be probably best suited for a mature/Phd student, a researcher, writer, a lecturer.

There naturally is Wi-fi, washing machine, dishwasher. There is no parking space. It's a non-smoking flat, no couples , no pets , yes to omnivores.
