Home Description

Description of the home

Welcome to my home in the heart of Balmain. Darling Street’s bustling cafés, restaurants and shops are right on the doorstep, yet the apartment feels peaceful and tucked away from it all. It’s a place where you can enjoy the energy of the neighbourhood, then come home and slow down.
The apartment is elegantly decorated, with lovely furnishings and the warmth of a real home. It’s cosy when the weather turns cold, and bright and airy on warmer days. There’s a large kitchen if you enjoy cooking, a sunny balcony, and a huge terrace with outdoor furniture. The terrace is a beautiful spot to sit in the sunshine, have a meal or unwind while taking in views of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline. The photos really don’t do it justice.
The bedroom is exceptionally spacious, around triple the size of a typical room. Its three large windows let in plenty of natural light and fresh air. It has a desk, bookshelf, lovely plants and a comfortable sofa lounge bed, with space to work, read and relax. Everything is furnished, so you can settle in and feel at home.
I’m Sallina. I work in tech and I’m doing a PhD, so I spend a lot of time at home cooking, studying and enjoying a quiet life with my dog, Winston. I keep the home clean and tidy, enjoy a good conversation and also appreciate personal space. I’d love to share it with someone looking for a peaceful home away from home while they’re in Sydney.

About occupants
Hi, I’m Sallina. I work in tech and I’m doing a PhD, so I spend quite a bit of time at home studying, cooking and enjoying a quieter pace of life. I share the apartment with Winston, my friendly dog, who is very much part of the home.

I like going to the gym, eating well and living a good, wholesome life, with a glass of wine here and there. I’m trustworthy, generous and warm, and I’ve put a lot of care into making this a comfortable, homely place to live. I’m clean and tidy, enjoy a good conversation and also appreciate time to myself. I’d love to share my home with someone who’ll feel comfortable here and treat it with care.
Compatible people
I’d love to share my home with someone warm, trustworthy and considerate who enjoys a calm, easy life. You’d be a non-smoker, keep shared spaces clean and tidy, and be comfortable with a home that isn’t a party place. I enjoy a chat or a glass of wine together, but also appreciate and respect quiet time and personal space.
Winston is part of the household, so it’s essential that you like dogs and are careful to close the gates behind you to keep him safe. I work and study from home, so someone who works mostly outside the apartment would be a great fit. Above all, I’m looking for someone who’ll treat the home with care and feel comfortable here.
Description of pets
Winston is my friendly Cavoodle and a much-loved part of the home. He’s walked every morning and evening, and the apartment is kept spotless. Apart from his rather impressive collection of toys, you’d hardly know a dog lives here: there’s no doggy smell or pet hair around the place. He enjoys a calm home and is lovely company.
