Large double room in a sunny Hackney-Wick flat

The room

Looking for someone to join me as a housemate in this lovely apartment in Hackney Wick, 5mins from Victoria Park, the canal and great coffee and bars.

Viewings: from 24 - 26 July - my intention is to make a decision by the end of Sunday. If you'd like to take a look, drop me a message with a little bit about yourself.

The room: a bigger than average double (3x3.5m with a taper at the window end) with a chest of drawers, table and chair, and an optional brand new mattress (see in photos).

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 + we would split Council Tax and bills - on average £160 each per month. 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, taking salsa classes or catching a gig. 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.
