ABOUT US
- Gabby (she/her age 32 American) and Mark (he/him age 33 British) have been living in the flat for 3 years. Gabby has been in the building for 5 years, Mark was a Covid move in “for 2 weeks” (ha!). We’ve been married for 3 years.
- We have a pretty quiet home life: cooking most weeknights, watching movies/shows, playing board games, going on lots of walks in the neighbouring parks, and traveling on weekends. We have friends over for game/movie nights with wine and beer, but don’t get too loud and crazy. We like having and keeping a nice home. We like to be respectful of noise and our flatmate's space
- Gabby has a gluten intolerance, so we keep foods separate as best possible and stay conscious about surfaces
- Each of us works from home 3 days/week (working from the kitchen/living area and our bedroom). Gabby works in tech and Mark works in media.
- Keep the flat tidy in shared spaces, we all pull our own weight with chores and cleaning (no rota, just take out the rubbish when it’s full, clean up after yourself, but not stressing about a flat that is lived in)
- Prefer to use natural/harsh chemical free cleaning
- Sam is our 13 year old indoor cat we've had for about 3 years. He's not as much a lap cat as a lean on you and meow until you pet and cuddle him cat (when he’s not sleeping). We've confirmed with several guests, we do not have a "cat smelling" house.
