Home Description

Description of the home

I (35M) recently moved to Melbourne and have rented a 2-bedroom apartment in Balaclava. I am looking for a flatmate to rent the other room.

About the apartment:
- Walking distance from the train station (600m), tram lines up north (400m), to the city centre (500m), the three big grocery shops (Aldi, Coles and Woollies) and cafes and restaurants (500m).
- Ground floor
- Kitchen with appliances
- Spacious living room
- Bathroom and toilet in one
- Shared spacious terrace with the ability to put garden furniture/grow veggies
- Queen-sized bedroom with built-in closet
- Small private terrace for you
- Underground parking garage (I don't own a car for now and am not really intending to buy one)
- Rent is $1,521 per month, excluding electricity, internet and shared stuff like washing powder, etc

If this catches your interest, please send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself (hobbies, work, where you're from etc etc)

- In my free time, I like to explore the city, ride my bike, watch series and go to comedy gigs or events, and if there's time left, play computer games
- I'm a bit of a history and geography geek, and I love watching cycling, football (or soccer as you call it here) and athletics
- I'm relatively introverted in a big group and quite extroverted 1-to-1

- Probably about the only person in Melbourne who doesn't have an AFL team or who worships coffee
Compatible people
