Other information
The room is bright and airy, catching the morning sun with glimpses of Manly Wharf. Please note the room does not have an exclusive use own bathroom, but I have an en-suite in my room so you would be the only one using the main bathroom for getting ready etc with no need to share the cupboard space for bathroom products. I'd just need to get in there as the laundry is accessed through the bathroom. The bedroom is medium sized, not tiny but not huge. It could fit a Queen bed OK depending on how much space you want in the room. To have it set up as it is now with room for a desk, it works better with a double bed. The room is currently furnished or I'm happy to clear it out if you have your own furniture.

Home Description

Description of the home

As soon as you walk through the front door you can see the awesome views of the harbour and from the balcony you can also see Manly Wharf and the city. The sunsets are particularly magical. It's an extra big apartment with original 70s kitchen and bathrooms, with retro decor to tie in. The kitchen is a good size (also with epic harbour views), and there's a balcony with a variety of seating including a hanging egg chair and a 'sunset bar' inside. In the backyard there's a swimming pool and a nice lawn area, shared between the 11 apartments in the block. Manly Wharf is 10 to 15 minutes walk away depending if you're power walking to catch the ferry or slowly strolling down for a morning walk.

About the occupants
I'm Louise who you'd be sharing the apartment with. I just turned 40 and recently sold my pilates studio businesses. I'm now casually instructing reformer pilates locally and working on some new projects so my hours and time in the flat vary. I enjoy spending time at the beach, socialising with friends, dancing and walks with my little dog Pepsi who's the other resident of the flat. For the most part I like to keep the place clean, calm and clutter free... as much as I can at least.
Compatible people
Home is my comfortable, good vibes, happy place so I'm definitely looking for a flatmate who will become a new friend, where we can easily chat and both feel relaxed. After some pretty stressful years running two businesses through the pandemic, I'm focusing on restoring balance, joy and fun into my life so it's important to me that you're a positive, glass-half-full person who doesn't take life too seriously, can enjoy a laugh and join me in bringing loads of awesome energy into this fabulous flat.
I'd prefer someone who doesn't work from home toooo often though - largely because I tend to do my work from here and am easily distracted. Neither of us will get any work done if we're just chatting haha.
Description of pets
My senior pup Pepsi lives here too. She's a 15 year old Pekingnese x Jack Russel. She's very sweet and friendly and doesn't yap/ rarely barks ever. Her silky coat does shed more than ideal, so I keep a stick vac on the go to tidy the place, but some dog hair at is inevitable. She still has some energy for her daily walks but in between those you'll usually find her curled up somewhere somewhere chilling out. She loves cuddles and food.
