Hi! I’m 37 friendly and queer guy from Turkey/UK and I full-time work from home, living in a lovely, clean, tidy 2-bed flat with a balcony, bike storage, free parking. The flat is around 67 sq. m. I’m looking for a short term lodger for my spare spacious bedroom. The flat is fully furnished and recently renovated. You will have access all the utilities/equipment/goods etc and the common areas. It is located on the top floor with lift access. The location is just between massive green spaces of Clapham Common and Tooting Commons in a safe residential quiet area. It is 15 min straight walk to Clapham Common tube station (Northern line, 13 min to central London) and Balham railway station.  All kind of amenities, stores and restaurants are nearby in popular Balham High Road and Balham Hill. I know the area well so can also give advice. The person should be a clean, tidy, quiet and preferably works from office 9-5. I care about the suitable person to live with rather than making profits. Therefore, the rent is quite reasonable. I have 12 years old Maine Coon independent healthy indoor cat. She is very easy to take care of for someone who has/had a cat or for someone lived with a cat before. I expect the flat mate to take care of Maisie and the flat whilst I am away for business and leisure trips (which is quite frequent). For this specific reason, the rent is very reasonably priced including bills, plus standard deposit as 5 weeks` rent (negotiable). For the time that I am home, I will have the full responsibility of the cat. If you need a short term place (1 month to 3 months) to stay and are good with cats, this is a great opportunity not to miss. 

I am very active after work and weekends, I run, play tennis, cycle, see friends, visit museums, travel etc but I also like to have a quiet evening and a weekend in from of the TV equally.

Some other furniture such as dining table, lamp shades, a shoe rack and foot stool to be added soon. There will an high quality office chair, new bedding and stationary for sporadic wfh to be added to the room.

Note: Longer term tenancy can be considered if there is a good match to live in long term. Please note that there will be a break clause in the contract for both sides in the case of a not good match with 1 month notice.
