Hi! We have a large double room becoming available in our lovely two-bedroom flat in Holland Park / Kensington Olympia.

The room is available from 15 September, with some flexibility for the right person.

Rent is £1,250 pcm, with bills averaging around £200 per month, including Council Tax, utilities and broadband, bringing the total to approximately £1,450 per month all-inclusive.

About the Flat
The flat is a spacious and elegant two-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained modern building. Located on the second floor with lift access, it features:
• Large reception room with dining area
• Separate eat-in kitchen with fitted appliances
• Modern bathroom
• Wooden flooring throughout
• Underfloor heating in the shared living areas
I've lived here for over four years and absolutely love it. It's a comfortable, well-maintained flat in a fantastic location, and it's very competitively priced for the area.

About the Room
The available room is the larger of the two bedrooms, measuring approximately 4.5m x 3.6m.
It comes furnished with:
• Double bed
• Bedside table
• Large dresser
• Vanity table / desk
• Two wardrobes
One of the wardrobes belongs to me and can be removed if you'd prefer additional floor space instead.
The room is generously sized and can comfortably accommodate a work-from-home setup if needed.

About the Location
Russell Road is a quiet residential street ideally located next to Olympia Station and just moments from Kensington High Street, with its excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and gyms.

The newly redeveloped Olympia complex is just across the road and now offers a growing collection of restaurants, bars, cultural venues and entertainment spaces, all within a two-minute walk.
Other local highlights include:
• Holland Park (12-minute walk)
• Shepherd's Bush (15-minute walk)
• Westfield London (15-minute walk)
• Excellent transport links via Overground, District Line and nearby Central Line connections
It's a fantastic area that's both lively and convenient while still feeling residential and peaceful.

About Me
I'm in my 30s, originally from Norway, and have spent much of my life living abroad. I work in CRM and am usually in the office four days a week, working from home only on Fridays.
Outside of work, I enjoy fashion and sewing (I design and make clothes and run a small Etsy shop on the side), reading, playing piano, going to concerts and musicals, and spending time with friends.

I'm sociable and enjoy a good chat, but the flat itself is generally quiet and definitely not a party flat. Friends are of course welcome to visit from time to time, and I'm looking to maintain a relaxed, comfortable home atmosphere.

Who I'm Looking For
I'm looking for a female flatmate who is clean, considerate and respectful of shared spaces.
Ideally, you're a working professional who enjoys having a friendly and relaxed home environment while also respecting each other's privacy and independence.

You'll need to pass a reference check through the management company before moving in, including:
• Employment and income verification
• Rental history references
The required income is 2.5x the annual rent (£37,500+), or alternatively a UK-based guarantor earning at least 4x the annual rent.

Ideally you're not working from home full-time, though this isn't a strict requirement for the right person.
If this sounds like a good fit, send me a message with a little bit about yourself and we'd be happy to arrange a viewing!

Update: I'm currently scheduling viewings for Thursday August 13th through Saturday August 15th, and looking to make a decision the following week, so please include in your message if you'd be available any of those dates and we can set up a time.
