Who it’s for
Looking for a professional (or professional postgraduate) who wants a calm, comfortable home rather than a party flat.
I work from home during the day, but I travel fairly often, so there are times you’ll have the place to yourself.
It’s the perfect city flat and my home for 7 years now, so looking ideally for someone easy-going, respectful, and who appreciates a clean, relaxed space living with someone easy going. First month and month deposit up front, then 30 day rolling lease from there.
⸻
Looking for someone ASAP, viewings available now so just get in touch to arrange a time to come by.
Look forward to meeting you!
