Looking For A Drama-Free Place To Lay My Head
I go to Kingston University as a post-graduate full-time and work part-time in finance (investment management) around Mayfair. Due to my schedule, I'm usually out of the house no later than 8:30am and back around 6/7pm. So I won’t be home much during the weekdays, and on weekends, I like to spend time meal prepping, studying, and watching sports.
Please know:
1) I occasionally cook breakfast (e. g., omelets, toast, sweet potatoes, oatmeal) and do meal prep on Sundays for the week ahead (e. g., chicken, turkey, beef, roasted vegetables).
2) I don’t drink or smoke, but I do eat a lot of meat. If the household is vegan, vegetarian, or Hindu (i. e., beef-free), it won’t be a good fit.
3) I travel light and don’t carry cookware or utensils. While it’d be great to borrow some (which I’d clean after use), it’s not a big deal if everyone uses their own.
4) I don’t bring guests over, so you won’t need to worry about strangers visiting.
What I am looking for:
1) A quiet, tranquil, and drama-free place to rest. I prefer to live with a mature family or share a property with no more than two other individuals (fewer people typically means less drama). No "long-term live-in guests" please!
2) Assigned space in both the fridge and freezer to store my food and dairy products.
3) I'm organized, clean and courteous so expect the same from housemates - common courtesy, such as cleaning up after yourself (especially after cooking in the kitchen), not leaving dirty dishes in the sink all day or overnight, not hogging the washing machine if you’re not using it (not a personal laundry basket), not hogging the bathroom & toilet in the morning for 45 minutes at time (please be considerate), flushing the toilet after use, not slamming doors at night, no talking on the phone in the middle of the night, etc.
4) Prefer clear communications upfront with all roommates and NO passive-aggressive behaviors please
5) The size of the room matters less to me than cleanliness, quietness, and overall hygiene.
A little about me:
I was born in China (don't speak Chinese though) to Japanese/Chinese mother and British/Chinese father and spent most of my life living in the US and Canada, with a couple of years in Hong Kong and Singapore. I’m sociable, enjoy sports (NFL, F1 & UFC), and love meeting new people and exploring the city (new to London).
NOT British, and I'm here on visa (all the necessary paperwork is in hand for the reference check). From my end, I'll ask for photo ID and proof of property ownership or tenancy.
