Short Let (May 15-31)/Large Dbl/E2 Beside Tube!

FULLY FURNISHED DOUBLE/QUIET & SAFE AREA/BESIDE MILE END TUBE/WARM & WELCOMING HOUSEMATES/PARK & CANAL BEHIND APARTMENT (AMAZING LOCATION)

Available May 15th - May 31st. We have a person moving in on June 1st so have the room free for 17 nights before then. Please do not apply if you are a smoker, thank you.

I am actually so much fun, but have had to make this ad really direct and it might come across a bit harsh (so sorry about that!). There are many people messaging so we need to be quite direct to receive messages from people who are looking for the same things in a houseshare as us :) Thanks for understanding!

You are living with 1 well educated, professional couple (in their 30's) & 1 academic researcher working for a professor at London School of Economics (in her late 20's). We all value our own private space and we give you yours too. We are warm and welcoming people. We love maintaining a positive energy in the house.

We'd like to live with someone who is not expecting to hang out regularly with their housemates. We all have busy lives and want to live with someone who, like us, does their own thing. But of course, we are all cordial and friendly when we greet eachother in passing, or have chats in the communal areas!

This is a no smoking & no vaping apartment so please do not apply if you smoke/vape. We want to live with a person who keeps regular hours (instead of coming home at 3am every night). Your friends/family are welcome, but we prefer to live with someone who is not bringing strangers back to the apartment regularly. Hopefully this suits you! We are fully Covid vaccinated and expect our flatmate to be also :)

About the room:
The room comes fully furnished with a double bed & new mattress. You will need to bring your own pillows, sheets & bed clothes for the bed (this is the norm in London). There is plenty of storage – a wardrobe, seperate built in wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelving. You have a solid work desk with additional storage built into it, and an ergonomic (back supporting) chair in your room, for setting up your work station or laptop. All of that furniture is included! Your bedroom get lots of natural light. The sunset also comes in, lighting it up magically every evening.

What’s included:
There is equal storage space allocated for you in the kitchen cupboards, refrigerator and freezer. Plenty of space for 1 person! The kitchen is fully kitted out with all crockery, cooking appliances and utensils you need for eating, drinking, cooking. You are welcome to bring your own also.

Breakdown of fees:
Room price is £790. All bills & household extras on top of that are £100. This includes: gas, electricity, water and high-speed fibre optic broadband, bins, recycling, council tax. Even toilet roll & shared cleaning products! You dont need to buy anything for the house or communal areas. If we itemised it you would be paying more, but because we dont have the time to split every single bill with a fine tooth comb 4 ways every month, it is easier for us to give you a substantially reduced rate overall and it always remains the same amount. Even though household bills are increasing alarmingly throughout the UK, we do not vary what we charge you - it is always only £100 per month. So the full amount you pay is £890. We also take care of all maintenance and upgrades of the communal areas of the apartment included in that too! There are no other charges or additional fees.

On top of that, you have use of our washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board, iron, hairdryer. Everything you need is provided! There is no TV, but there is high speed internet if you wish to watch things on your laptop.

About the apartment:
It's quiet, secure, clean & get's plenty of natural light from the large windows throughout. It's a 3 bedroom apartment split over 2 levels. This is a great apartment and all bedrooms are really spacious, so the first to view will want to move in! The bedroom in the video is NOT your room. We included the video to give you a feel for the apartment layout in communal areas. The photos attached show your bedroom! It is the largest bedroom in the apartment. There is a fully equipped kitchen / dining area that has a built in dining booth downstairs. There is no communal livingroom with couches. There are 2 toilets and 1 bathtub in the apartment (with hot power shower). Both bathrooms are tiled beautifully recently and are kept really clean. All bedrooms have new high grade anti-bacterial carpets. Locks on the bedroom doors add to the security for you. You can see the skyscrapers of Canary wharf as you walk along the entrance balcony at the front of the apartment! Beautiful view when lit up in the evening.

We have really nice British families as neighbours either side of us who have been here years, so it is a lovely safe & quiet location to be in. Walking home at night is very safe on well lit wide streets. I am a girl, do it regularly alone, and have for a few years now, and have always felt safe. We are only a 4 minute walk down 1 straight street from Mile End tube station!

Location:
Mile End is one of the best places to be located in London as it is so central and a great transport hub. The tube station is a 4 minute walk along a safe, flat road from my apartment. It has so many public transport routes going through it, 3 tube lines with trains every 60 seconds, and 4 bus routes outside taking you to Tower Bridge, Piccadilly or Stratford Westfield (it is 1 stop away & the biggest shopping centre in Europe). Making it very convenient to get all around the city fast! Directly behind my apartment are another 3 bus routes that service Canary Wharf, Hackney and Dalston. You can go in every direction easily on public transport from my place. The easy access to every area is why I chose this exact location to live in!

The apartment is located in between 3 green areas. So the air is the cleanest & pure in the city. The pretty Regents Canal river runs behind the apartment block & is lovely to walk along in the early evening. Walk north along the canal and you reach Victoria Park in 8 minutes with great coffee spots and bakeries all week, then there's a fab Farmers Market in the park every Sunday. My apartment is honestly a dream location! There are lots of independent shops, micro breweries in the area (Crate, Howling Hops, Old St Brewery) and farmers markets happening on the weekend. Columbia Road Flower Market (Sunday) has lots of quirky independent shops too, then Broadway Market (Saturday) packed with the best British produce, live musicians and hot food stalls.

Mile End stadium and gym is across the road, a 30 second walk from the apartment. It has a really cheap, well equipped gym & swimming pool. Prices start at £30 per month to join, it’s great & the cheapest in the city. £4 to use the sauna without being a member and £6 to swim in their Olympic sized pool!

About us:
We are a well educated, friendly couple, in our 30’s. White, British. We have a lovely academic researcher living with us. She is thoughtful, respectful of personal space and super polite. She is British with Chinese heritage. We're all naturally happy people so it's always a positive place to be. We are your housemates!

We are clean, tidy, quiet when moving about the apartment. Just generally, considerate & respectful people. We are looking for someone normal & kind, who appreciates a relaxed & positive home environment. Please do not apply if you are a really untidy person or lead a chaotic life of late nights. Please only apply if you are respectful in keeping the communal areas in decent shape, just as we do. We are really relaxed, but do enjoy living in a clean house. So it's important the person moving in values tidiness too! We'd like it if you are in fulltime employment and you have some sort of routine to your week. The odd late night is fine, but we don't want to live with someone who comes in at 3am, bringing strangers back. All 3 of us have fulltime jobs with a pretty regular weekday routine. So I just need to say that in advance.

About you:
We are looking for a professional from any industry sector who leaves the apartment to go to work a few days a week, not someone who works from home fulltime. Someone who has a happy demeanour. Someone who is considerate of other people they live with and happy to keep the communal areas respectfully tidy after using them, for the benefit of everyone in the house. We all keep it really spotless in the communal areas, so that it's nice for everyone to use. This apartment is not suitable for a smoker/vaper. We want to live with people who appreciate a quiet, calm, safe home where they know who is coming and going from the apartment. So our place is not suitable for a party person who plans social gatherings or bringing strangers/random people back regularly. For your piece of mind, we don't bring friends or strangers to the apartment, maybe just family who visit once or twice a year, for lunch and a park walk.

Please get in touch to arrange a viewing. We'd love to hear from you! Only applicants providing a short description (some info) about themselves will be considered. Many thanks! My number is attached, you can call too, I dont bite ;-)
