Looking for a bright spacious double room
Hi! My name is Manuela. I'm 35, single, from Argentina living in Spain and I'm looking to move to London for work in summer 2026 (dates TBC when I finish the paperwork.)
I am a translator and account manager working from home full time.
I'm looking for a double room. I'd like it to be bright and spacious, a place where I can set up a desk to work and be comfortable without feeling enclosed in a room all day.
Ideally with my own bathroom (no need for an ensuite) with toilet, bath and window.
Location wise, zones 1-3. I'd like to have supermarkets, shops, cafés, charity shops and green spaces, as well as a tube station and bus stops, within walking distance.
I'm talkative and outgoing when at ease, love meeting people and trying new things. I am usually up for any plan as I like to enjoy life and not just wait for the weekend to have some free time.
Equally, I value my alone time to 'recharge my social battery' and I enjoy my own company and quiet time.
I've shared a flat before (for 9 years in the same flat! Can you tell I'm looking for a place to call home? 😁), and my roommate was also (and still is!) a friend. I'd love for my flatmates to be friends and not just people you share a space with. I'd like female flatmates of a similar age (~28-38). Female household only.
While I already know some people in London, I'm looking to have a circle of people to feel at home - in friendship, I value quality over quantity.
I'd like to live in a place where I can occasionally have friends over (for dinner, for a chat, etc.). As an Argentinian, socialising is not always done outside of the house, and I like that as much as I enjoy going out for brunch or a walk.
I'll also sometimes have family or friends stay when visiting from abroad.
Of course, all of that would be previously discussed and agreed.
I think communication is key! And thus integral when sharing a flat.
I'm a cat person and would not mind at all having a feline flatmate too.
I am very tidy and clean, I would be happy to agree on a schedule to clean common spaces (flexible of course) and to do shared grocery shopping.
Cooking is not my forte hehe but I get by (we all need to eat, right?).
No smoking or vaping and no smokers - I can't stand it.
Budget wise, £1100-£1200 max bills included.
Anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to ask! 🤗 Thank you ✨️
