Looking for a home

NO AGENTS PLEASE

Hi there, I’m Larissa, currently based in Dalston and looking to stay in the area or surrounding neighbourhoods (Stokey, Hackney, Haggerston, Canonbury, Highbury…).

I'm looking for somewhere I can genuinely call home. While I have my own life, I love spending time with flatmates and usually have become friends with them in the past. I’m hoping to find a clean, queerfriendly place where everyone is chipping in making it a home. Ideally with a living room and some kind of outside space. If on top of that you have a cat, I’ll be the happiest person in the world. Not a requirement of course.

A bit about me: I’m a PhD student in politics, but I don’t think I give typical student vibes. At 37 I’m probably a bit too old for that 😉Before starting the PhD, I worked as journalist for nearly 10 years, a job that is still close to my heart. When I’m not busy with the PhD, I love spending time with my friends, going to gigs, the pub, the odd rave and once in a while escape the city for a hiking trip. I love cooking (vegetarian) and baking – sharing a meal with my flatmates or hosting a dinner party makes me happy.
The boring stuff: I’m lucky enough to have a full scholarship which my last landlords/agencies accepted as proof of income. I can provide references, proof of savings and also a guarantor if that should be necessary. My budget is 1000 incl. bills (with some flexibility). Ideally, I am looking to move before the end of June, but I am very flexible for the right place. I don’t have to leave my current place, so really looking for the right vibe/people.

If you think I could be the right fit for your flat, please to get in touch.
