Cozy room available in Newington for Professionals

Hi everyone,
We are looking for a third female flatmate to join us from 22 October. The room is available earlier if needed!

THE ROOM

The room is furnished (bed, chest of drawers, bookshelf and wardrobe), quite spacious with extra storage space under the bed. It’s facing the Castle, so you’ll get light in the afternoon.

THE FLAT

It's a 3-bedroom flat that has been refurbished just two years ago (new carpet & new kitchen) on the third floor, no lift!
 The living room is quite big and warm, with cracking views and stunning sunsets (I promise) with TV. Small but ample brand new kitchen.
Storage cupboard with washing machine and freezer but no dryer. Separate WC and bathroom. The flat is HMO-compliant, so all safe and sound. Windows are double-glazed and there's central heating throughout. 
There’s space to keep the bike at the doorstep, but that might need to be discussed with the next-door neighbours.

THE AREA

The flat is in Sciennes, a very quiet and lovely area, but still central. You can walk to Waverley in 25 minutes, Haymarket in 35. The Meadows are just on your doorstep with a lot of amenities (Sainsbury's, Tesco, cafés, independent grocery shops, cute shops, etc) close by.
Bus stops in various directions are nearby, too. Parking is on-street but don't expect to park right outside the door. It can be very tight. Permit costs depend on emissions.

RENT AND BILLS

For council tax reasons, we’re looking for a professional or students who are liable to pay it.
The room rent is £550 per month excluding bills. Bills include:
* Council Tax Band D: £60.11
* Elec/heating: £40
* Wifi: £11
(Approx per person per month)

You’ll also be required to pay one month’s rent as a deposit to the landlord.

ABOUT US

Linsay: I am a 38 year old Scottish professional working with a family owned tour operator in Edinburgh, so I am super passionate about travelling and covering new places. I also love theme parks, hillwalking and Disney!

Mia: I am a 27 year old Australian professional and I recently completed my masters at Edinburgh Uni in human rights law. I am working for the University part time while I find my next full time role! I love spending time with my friends, true crime and trying new cocktail spots!

We both live a quite calm lifestyle, so the room would suit someone best in their late 20s/30s with similar interests. We like cooking, reading, watching movies, hunting books in bookshops around Edinburgh for hours and chatting to eachother about our days!

We put a lot of energy to make this place our home, so would appreciate someone who feels the same way and wants to stay long-term.

It's a private landlord, who is lovely and is always fast to reply and arrange any repairs as necessary.

If you are interested, please let us know:
1. When you are looking to move in and for how long
2. Your availability for a viewing
3. And most importantly, about yourself/interests.

Thanks :)

P. S.: We may not be able to answer all the messages, sorry!!
