**Update: my current housemate is moving out so room will be available from end of May - rent $380/$420 single/couple pw including bills until my placement starts in August**

Hi there!

Advertising this in advance to see if there's any interest..

I am a doctor considering embarking on a rural placement commencing end of July/start of August.

I was hoping to still keep my Melbourne apartment but will only be there for max 4 nights per week (most likely over the weekends). I may also be working in Melbourne during this time.

I thought this might appeal to a couple who, for example, are travelling/on a working holiday. The length of my rotation will be 6 months (til February 2027).

The apartment is in a great location, in between two tram lines and a 5 minute walk to Burnley train station. Close to all the attractions of both Swan St and Bridge Rd, with easy access to Monash freeway and the biking and walking paths along the Yarra River.

The rent has been adjusted for occupancy and includes bills (internet, water and electricity) and use of my furniture/appliances/kitchen utensils/linen etc if you need. The bedroom can be furnished or unfurnished.

I would ideally like a single or couple who are clean and tidy and house proud and will take good care of my things, have regular employment and who are friendly and good communicators and don't mind me popping in and out (sometimes at odd times)! It would also be great to have someone who was somewhat house plant literate and could occasionally water my pots!

In addition, if you had the odd weekend where you had visitors or family coming to stay, I would be happy for them to use my room with some prior notice.

About occupants
Hi! I'm Lucy - I work as a doctor. I am currently working in a GP clinic 4 days per week. I also occasionally work night shift at a hospital - generally this will be on weekends or on a Monday night. When I'm not working or studying, I enjoy cooking (or at least reading recipe books!), watching my latest UK murder mystery/police dramas, gardening and checking out new restaurants and bars/pubs!
Compatible people
I would like to live with someone who similarly views their home as a place for rest and relaxation - someone who is kind, considerate and respectful and is a good communicator. There is not a separate work from home space but if you're happy to set up in your bedroom that would be fine. As above, I occasionally do shift work so at times I am sleeping during the day - but I tend to sleep pretty well and my room is located away from the kitchen/living area.

It is important that the person is used to living in a shared space and enjoys their independence but is also happy to share the occasional meal or friendly chat.

I am reasonably clean and tidy and enjoy living in a nice environment and would like to live with someone who has similar standards and is willing to share responsibility for the housework!
