Hey there!
We have a lovely double spare room available in a typical council flat just off Brick Lane — one of the best locations for staying well-connected to the city and living with great flatmates ✌️
THE FLAT 🏡
It’s a 3-bedroom flat with a spacious living room full of plants, plus a balcony. You’ll be sharing with clean and friendly flatmates who enjoy cooking and sometimes go party. What more could you ask for in Zone 1?
THE ROOM 🛏
A room at the front of the flat with a comfy double bed. It includes a double bed, two sets of drawers, and a desk, and gets lovely afternoon light.
THE KITCHEN 🥘
Fully equipped kitchen (hob, oven, microwave, toaster, and washing machine), central heating, and a new boiler. It's small but it has everything we need.
THE LIVING ROOM 🛋
A large living room with a sofa, sofa-bed, TV, dining table, and plenty of plants! 🪴 We enjoy keeping a cosy vibe, occasional Netflix night or shared dinner are always welcome.
BATHROOM & WC 🛀 + 🚽
The bathtub and sink are separate from the toilet.
THE ATMOSPHERE ✨
(The most important part — please read carefully before getting in touch!)
We’re looking for someone open who will help make this place feel like a real home. The new flatmate should be social and up for enjoying the flat and the occasional house shenanigans (no room rats, please!).
It’s important to be respectful, clean (the cleaning rota is not optional), tidy, and considerate of others. Previous flat-sharing experience is essential, along with empathy and a genuine desire to integrate into a friendly home.
We’re looking for someone mature, calm but still fun, who doesn’t skip cleaning shifts and helps keep the flat nice for everyone. Also, someone who understands that a greasy pan is not clean (if you get it, you get it).
ABOUT US 🙋♂️🙋♂️
We are a 37-year-old Spanish guy (product designer) and a 28-year-old British guy (Int Comms consultant), both working 9–5 with some WFH.
We love specialty coffee, art, music, and occasionally going to gigs or raves. We’re both creative, curious, and enjoy chatting about our days, travelling, discussing politics, and sharing experiences.
We smoke (on the balcony).
If you value shared dinners and the occasional drink, this could be a great fit for you.
BILLS 💸
Bills are around £115 per month each (including council tax, electricity, water, gas, and internet), with slight fluctuations time to time.
We also have a great relationship with our landlord.
