Home Description

Description of the home

A terraced house just behind King Street. 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 2 toilets. The place has some wear and tear (hence the very low rent for the area) but it's cosy and quiet.

Me and my housemate realised we weren't using our lounge room much (we're quiet professionals in our 30s and usually go out instead of bring people home) so the lounge been converted into a place to store bikes and various things. The common areas are this front room, the kitchen and the dining room.

The common areas are downstairs, the bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs.

About occupants
I'm Besah, I've been living in the house a long while, since 2015. I work as a freelance video editor and do gig work on the side. I'm quiet, I like to read, go out on my bike, learn new skills and hang out with close friends, though I spend most of my time these days chasing down freelance work.

I lived with my housemate Will (the housemate be moving out of this room) for 10 years, we got along great, we're both very easy going. Tobiah's the other housemate, he moved in recently to the third bedroom, he's a dance instructor who works in the city, also a great guy and easy going.
Compatible people
Looking for an independent housemate who sees home as a quiet place to unwind. We're busy with our own schedules so don't always bump into each other but we're always respectful and up for a chat when we do.
Description of pets
None (sadly, used to have a cat).
