About occupants
I'm Helene. I'm 58 and live in my own home. I already have one tenant living here. I enjoy living in this quiet area. I have lived here for 14 years. I am a very part-time celebrant. I work part-time mowing lawns. I door Dasha as well. I love to travel. I am often away visiting family and friends. I enjoy having friends or family stay over for a couple of days ....very occasionally, and I encourage the same for my tenants (there is some capacity for sleeping on fold-out couches and a single bed in the lounge).
Compatible people
I have had many experiences in shared households. I have fond memories of good times. For me, a successfully shared house always came down to clear boundaries and open communication.
