Room (with bathroom!) in sunny flat in Meadowbank

Hi! Please read the whole listing carefully before sending any messages 😊

🏠 About the place:
Meadowbank, a stone's throw from Meadowbank Sports Centre, and short stroll to the Lidl and Sainsbury's.
The room is a furnished double bedroom with:
- Double bed + mattress
- Optional bedside tables
- Chest of drawers (currently in the boiler cupboard in the corner)
- Built-in wardrobe
The room also comes with its own separate bathroom. I have an ensuite, so the hallway bathroom is effectively all yours!

The flat has a bright, spacious open-plan living/kitchen area with big windows overlooking the green courtyard, with views of Arthur’s Seat in the distance. There’s also a balcony, currently with some very frequent pigeon visitors, because my current flatmate and I have been feeding them 🐦There is also street parking available with a permit.

💸 Rent and bills
TOTAL = £730 per month*
*Rent is currently £550 each, likely to be increased slightly with the contract change (which it did when I moved in a year ago, just by £25 each)
Council Tax (Band E): £122 each
Energy bill: £44 each
Internet: £14 each
Note: My current flatmate is the accountholder for Energy + Internet (I'm Council Tax) so you would take over those, to split the admin.
Security deposit is one month's rent, and you would apply via the property manager to go onto the lease.

✨About you:
30-ish woman or non-binary person who is communicative, considerate and respectful, and who wants a home that feels harmonious rather than just somewhere to sleep.
It would be lovely to have another flatmate who would like to have the occasional tea or do crafts/balcony gardening with, or just to vent/debrief about things going on in their own busy lives.

😊About me (the flatmate!):
31-year old woman from Australia working in healthcare.
I moved from Australia in 2024 (in this flat for the last year) and love this part of Edinburgh. In my spare time I knit, spend time outdoors either hiking or just enjoying the lovely nature of Scotland, and go to the very occasional pub quiz (just for the quiz though since I don’t drink) or board game night.
I’ve got Historic Scotland membership so my weekend usually involves a day trip on the Saturday and then dance fitness classes and meal prep on Sundays 🏰

🙏Boring but important things about me as a flatmate:
- Boyfriend stays over a couple of nights per week (and conversely I stay at his sometimes, often start of the week)
- I don’t drink but of course don’t mind if you do. Don't want parties/large gatherings at home though, it's been more of a chill crafternoon kind of flat while I've been here and I've loved that
- Non-smoker, and strongly don’t want to be around any smoking/vaping at home
- Big fan of a chore roster for shared spaces; nobody wants to vacuum, but it needs to be done

If that all sounds like a good fit, send through a message with a bit about you!
