Description

My flatmate is moving out, and I'm searching for a new friend to share a cozy flat in Newington. The available double room overlooks a quiet back green and is filled with natural light. The flat is spacious enough for daily living and has lovely wooden floors. The rent is currently £626.08, shared with bills averaging around £780 each per month, with a £525 deposit secured. It’s a 5-minute walk to Holyrood Park and University of Edinburgh, making it convenient for professionals or PhD students. I'm a 34-year-old university worker, easy-going and tidy, with a friendly three-year-old cat named Max. I'm looking for someone calm, respectful, and communicative for a longer-term stay, ideally a woman aged 30-40 who shares my relaxed vibe, enjoys socializing, and is an animal lover.
