Very clean, tidy, friendly, relaxed and reserved professional female looking for a likeminded professional to occupy the second room of this very nice flat. Two people sharing common areas: never a queue or overcrowded situations. I am an Italian professional of 40, work in Central London and live in a flat with a room that will be vacant on 15th September. The current lodger is relocating to South London.

The Area: On the first floor of a maisonette in zone 2 (between Cricklewood and Willesden Green) five minutes from Cricklewood Train Station, Willesden Green Tube Station, Kilburn Tube Station and Brondesbury Station. Cricklewood Broadway with all shops is two minutes away from the flat. The area is extremely quiet although very central and well connected to the West End, North West and City of London (20mns to Farringdon and 15mns to Bond Street).

The Flat: Fitted kitchen with huge brand new fridge, washing machine, new electric oven, new vacuum cleaner, new microwave, plenty of storage space and the boiler is automatic, i.e. constant hot water and gas central heating solely for the flat. Two double bedrooms (one is mine), living/dining room, bathroom with shower and bathtub, separate toilet. Nice feature corridor with natural light.

The Bedroom: the largest of the two with bay windows, spacious (4.30m x 3.20m), new double bed, wardrobe, mirror, chest of drawers and armchair. Plenty of space for a desk and other personal items. BT line already installed, contract to be set up by the tenant. Optional wireless connection.

The Costs: An “all-inclusive” package is offered to the right person, i.e. a sum that covers the rent, electricity, water, Council Tax and TV Licence. The cost of the package is £550 per month. The only additional expense is the gas, I charge it on the meter key and we share the cost. It’s well worth the price, I was very lucky to find such an affordable flat in this area.

The Requirements: One month deposit, one month rent in advance to be settled the first day of each month, work/university and bank references. Three months minimum stay. No timewasters please, only serious professionals or responsible students.
