Sunny Double Room in Leith

The available bedroom

Hi my name’s Alex (she/her)! I am looking for a new flatmate to join me in a bright, 2-bedroom flat in Yardheads (between Great Junction Street and the Shore), from 28th April.

I'll be away for 3 weeks from 31st March, so I am really keen to get viewings in ASAP. Please get in touch if you think we'd be a good fit :)

About your future flatmates:
- 👩🏻‍🦰 I’m a 39yo queer woman originally from California. I am a Student Support Manager at one of the local universities and I work full-time (condensed hours) Tuesday to Friday, splitting my time between the office and home. My spare time involves a lot of cooking, hiking, crafting, horror movies and music. I enjoy having a flatmate that likes to hang out over a meal/beer/game/movie, but I also appreciate the importance of personal space!
- 😸 My loveable house goblins, Patsy and Eddie, are a mother-and-daughter pair of hairless cats (yes, really). They are chatty, affectionate, cuddly kitties who love to spend time with people.
- 🏳️‍⚧️This is a queer and trans friendly flat.

About you:
- 😊 An honest, friendly, tidy person who will treat this flat like a home.
- 🧹 Happy to share cleaning tasks and keen to help keep our cozy home looking great.
- 😻 A true cat-lover! Patsy and Eddie are the most affectionate goofballs you’ll ever meet, and super cuddly!
- 💉 Fully vaxxed and covid conscious… yes, still! (Non-negotiable)
- 🌍 Environmentally aware and interested in reducing household waste.

The flat:

The flat is on the first floor of a new(ish) build property and accessed via a single, wide staircase. Neighbours are super friendly and there’s even social events, if you’re into that sort of thing. I’ve lived here since late February 2024.

The flat is a rented through Forth Lettings, the agent has been *incredibly* responsive and helpful, even replacing our aging heaters and extractor fan without much coercing. Prospective tenants will be required to provide suitable references before a contract can be drawn up.

The flat is rented unfurnished but furnished by me.

- 🛏️ The room is fully-furnished with a bed, desk and chest of drawers. There is also a large built in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors
- 👩🏻‍🍳 I’m an avid cook, so the shared kitchen is kitted out with most of the appliances/equipment you could possibly desire.
- 📺 The large living room includes a 4K enabled TV, sound system. There's also a juliet balcony, which sadly must be kept closed for the sake of the kitties, but does provide beautiful light.
- 💻 1GB Fibre Internet (Hyperoptic)

Transport links:
- 🚌 Lothian buses (and tram) links heading in almost every direction within minutes walk from the flat.
- 🥦 Spoiled for choice on groceries with Lidl, Tesco, Aldi and some great wee shops all very close by.
-🚶‍♂️Leith Walk, the Water of Leith, the Shore, Newhaven, Porty and more all within walking distance.
- 🍺 Lots of great bars and restaurants nearby.
