Hello,
We are looking for a professional to join us in our spacious and sunny 3rd floor apartment on Marchmont Road, right by the meadows. We are currently two guys: one starting a PhD in genetics and the other a psychologist. The room is large with double bed, sofa, wardrobe, drawers, desk/sideboard. The flat is nice and quiet, but we also like to chat and the occasional group meal, and more than happy to have friends over. We're clean/tidy and respectful and all those good things! The kitchen has pretty much everything you need, including a dishwasher. It's non-smoking, and unfortunately pets are not allowed.
The rent for the room is £600 and monthly bills (energy, water, WIFI) are roughly £60 (each), plus council tax (band E) which will be split equally between the 3 of us. The deposit is £712.50, which goes into a registered tenancy deposit scheme. Our experience with the agency has been very good and they're responsive in having things fixed/replaced when needed. Also, there is a need for a guarantor, which is a bit easier if you have one that is UK based.
A bit about us:
Hi! I'm Sam, I moved here from Manchester last September and I'm about to start a PhD researching the genetics of mental health. I'm really into climbing, both indoors and outdoors. I enjoy being outdoors, camping and usually go to a music festival each summer. I watch/listen to a lot of podcasts: comedy, science, culture, history. Other than that I'm currently trying to learn new juggling tricks! I also drive, so feel free to join me on trips to Aldi!
And I’m Rob! I moved to Edinburgh five or so years ago to retrain as a psychologist and now currently working between Edinburgh and Glasgow. I’m still shaking off the effects of several years of study and hope to get back into climbing, which had been a huge passion. Like Sam, I’m often wandering about the flat listening to podcasts which are a mix of psychology, history, politics.
If you’re interested, please get in touch with a little about yourself, we both want to read all the messages, so it will be a few days before we get back to you, but we will reply to everyone, even if it's only a bulk message to say thanks for your interest. We plan to arrange viewings early May.
