About us:
We are two queer people (ages 29 and 35), one academic in applied maths, and one part-time student/part-time professional in criminology, looking for a flatmate who is a professional, or a mature student willing to pay full council tax.
We are quiet and considerate but also enjoy hosting friends for dinners etc. It's also nice to share the occasional meal as flatmates when we can, and consider the flat as our home. We both have separate social lives outside of the flat doing things with friends, working out, or going to fun events happening around the city, but also enjoy quiet nights in and find the flat a nice space to decompress. We would love to be friends with the person who moves in and share some of these hobbies, if that's something you feel comfortable with!

The flat is lovely (nicely decorated, comfy, and has many plants!) and we like to keep it reasonably clean and tidy, so someone who takes initiative in keeping the place clean is ideal. We currently also split the cost of household needs and shared items as needed using Splitwise.

If you're looking for a nice place to live and like the sound of our flat, please get in touch to book a viewing!
