My flatmate is sadly moving out, so I am looking for a new flatmate. Move-in date would be as soon as possible (unfortunately, a new person who was supposed to move in had to cancel at short notice...).

The room available is the larger one of two bedrooms. It comes furnished. We also have a kitchen, a quite modern bathroom, and a large living room with a sofa area and big table, which is used mainly for dining and working. Bills are fluctuating, currently around £50 (we didn't pay council tax, should be band D).

I am 33 and in my fifth year of my PhD. I am politically active and work for a left-wing social science journal. I read a lot, enjoy cooking Mediterranean things, being outdoors, and I can be enthusiastic about all kinds of film genres.

I think it's good if we’d manage to keep the flat reasonably clean. However, if you don't want to see any breadcrumbs, we aren’t a good match. Instead of arguing about these things, I would find a conversation about an annoying day at work or some new obscure film more meaningful.

What else?

- The flat is centrally located, in the Stockbridge area. About a 10-minute walk to Princes Street. A large Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and M&S are all nearby.

- We have access to a garden, and the Royal Botanic Garden is not far. Wardie Bay is a ca 35-minute walk.

- It’s a brick building from the 1930s/40s, which means we still have relatively high ceilings, but it's warmer in winter than in the classic tenements.

Interested? Since it is very important to me that we get along well, please confirm that you have read everything, write something about yourself, and ask all the questions you might have :)
