Double room in a sunny 2-bed Hackney Wick flat

Shared living room

Hi, I'm Josh. Looking for someone to join me in this lovely apartment in Hackey Wick. I've got a double room free from start of August. Viewings this weekend!

The room: a good-sized double with a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Not in photo, but there is a new mattress, simple clothes hanging unit, and small table and chair available to the person who moves (if wanted).

Room dimensions: 3m x 3.5m with a taper at the window end.

The flat: bright living room with a Juliette balcony that gets nice morning sun, and off-street parking, which is rare for round here. There's a desk set up in the living room. I work from home 1-2 days a week and happy to coordinate days so we can both use it.

The area: The canal and all its great bars and eateries are 5 mins away, plus Victoria Park and its markets, swimming at the Aquatics Centre, and walks along the marshes. Hackney Wick station is a 10 min walk (one stop to Stratford) and there's a bus stop right outside the flat with good routes to Stratford, London Bridge and central London.

Costs: rent is £1,000 pcm. Council tax is £153/month (Band C) and bills (water, gas, electric, internet) average £165, so split that's about £160 each. All in you're looking at £1,160 pcm. You'd be on the tenancy in your own name with referencing through the agent, so it's all secure and above board.

About me / who I'm after: 34, Australian, and I work for a human rights organisation. Outside of work I'm usually hiking or trying (and mostly failing) to learn salsa. I'm out a fair amount but I also like a quiet night in, and when we're both around I'm always up for cooking together, a chat, or a board game. Appreciate good communication and also respecting quiet time. I keep the place clean and tidy and want someone who's the same. Ideally late 20s to 30s, friendly, easy to live with.

Viewings and decision on weekend of 18 and 19 July. Send me a message with a bit about yourself and I'll get back to you quickly.
