ABOUT ME

I’m Louie I own the flat, I’m male, British, 46 years old. I'm an IT consultant and also work in events. I work at home about half the time. My partner Pamela is an actor and works in events. She is working on tour abroad until 27 Nov 2026. In our free time we like to go to the theatre, do open water swimming, and I do amateur stand-up comedy in small rooms above pubs.

We don't have any pets but our neighbours' cats visits us often.

I've had a lot of lodgers over the years and it normally works out well.

When you move in I’ll be there to give you keys, show you around, and can answer questions about the local area.

When we see you in the kitchen we'll normally have a quick chat. Other than that we'll be respectful of your space and time.

If we share interests sometimes we might go to a show together, share a meal, or go for a drink in the pub.
