1 room room of 12 m²

//////////////////////////////////// Hello!! We have a room available in our beautiful collective house from 1st August. The house is south-facing, with a fantastic view over the city centre. The city is just a short walk away (5 minutes to the train station, 8 minutes to the bus station, 8 minutes to Festplassen) via a path which cuts through a small wood. We would like someone open and easy-going who can contribute to the positive and social atmosphere in the house. We value the house being kept tidy, and we all make an effort to clean up after ourselves. //////////////////////////////////// The house: The house is split into 2 apartments, consisting of 2 floors each, and we live in the bottom 2 floors. Our apartment consists of: Ground floor: 3 bathrooms (1 w/ shower, 1 w/ shower+toilet, 1 w/ toilet), laundry room, and 3 bedrooms. First floor: cloakroom, kitchen & living room (combined), and 6 bedrooms. A garden with a lawn and vegetable patches / flower beds. A winter garden / conservatory adjoined to the house, accessible via the garden. A terrace with a seating area and fire pit. An outdoor jacuzzi (currently with a broken heating element, so only used in warm weather). An outdoor shed, used as a storage room for bikes and skis etc. //////////////////////////////////// The room: The rent is 4800kr/month, plus 400kr/month for internet and electricity.
The room comes furnished with a bed and bedside table. The contract runs from 1st August 2024, with no end date. There is a notice period of 3 months to terminate the contract. The deposit is 9600kr. We share cleaning responsibilities with a cleaning schedule, meaning each person cleans one floor of the house approximately once per month. We also have a monthly house meeting in which everyone is able to raise topics to discuss. //////////////////////////////////// Here’s who you’ll be living with:
 Andrew: Teaching assistant from Britain (27, male) Enrico: Mathematician from Italy (34, male) Inês: Waiter from Portugal (38, female) Léo: Polar researcher from France (30, male) Lukas: Teacher from Germany (30, male) Deborah: Waiter from France (26, female) Simon: Film producer from Norway (27, female) Tara: Red Cross coordinator from Norway (26, female) We all work Monday to Friday, and have evenings and weekends free. Each of us have our own routines when we’re not working, but there are usually a handful of people at home simultaneously. When we’re at home together we like to socialise in the living room, play board games, and watch films / tv. A couple of times a month we all eat dinner together, usually on a Sunday, taking it in turns to cook for each other. We also like to have bonfires and BBQs on the terrace (mainly in the warmer spring/summer months, but also sometimes in winter). A couple of times a year we go on a cabin trip together. We like to tend the garden in summer. We have previously made our own compost, but that project has been on pause since autumn. Strawberries and raspberries grow naturally each summer, and we plant our own plants, herbs, fruits, and vegetables each season. Between us we have a broad range of hobbies, including hiking, skiing (cross-country, alpine, and ski touring), snowkiting, fishing, climbing, kayaking, cycling, acrobatics, ultimate frisbee, and underwater rugby. Those of us who share hobbies (mainly skiing) like to do them together. //////////////////////////////////// If this sounds like the house for you, please send a message with a bit of information about yourself.
