Hello people of Spareroom,
I am looking for someone to take over a spacious double room in a lovely existing flatshare in Highbury & Islington (Canonbury border). You would be sharing with one other person in a calm, well-kept third-floor flat located less than 5 minutes from Highbury & Islington station and within easy reach of Upper Street, Highbury Fields, Newington Green/Clissold, and Canonbury Square is right on your doorstep.
The room itself is very generously sized with excellent built-in wardrobe storage across two walls; about 18sqm/190sqft of surface area. The flat also has a large shared lounge, large bathroom, and access to a lovely shared garden. We are next to a very loved local pub but fortunately for you, this room is on the quieter side of the flat.
The current flatmate is a 35-year-old musician and composer originally from Los Angeles who has lived in London for several years. I am very tidy, respectful, easy-going, and keen to maintain a warm, peaceful home environment where both people contribute to making the space welcoming and comfortable. There is also a fortnightly cleaner with flexibility on that, and bills can be adjusted depending on preferences of whoever moves in.
The area is incredibly well connected, with great cafés, pubs, restaurants, gyms, and transport links nearby. I have lived in many areas in London, but this is the best combination of lively, leafy, well-connected yet tranquil.
My flatmate has moved out only because he bought a house, otherwise I suspect he would have stayed for a much longer time. Would be lovely to have another creative in, or someone who at least is ok with music, but I mostly work in classical and indie so it's not very loud most of the time!
Happy to share more information and arrange viewings this weekend and next week.
Best,
Max
