I'm searching for new accommodation with reliable, approachable and authentic housemates. Trust and transparency is important.
For your peace of mind and to know about me better - I'm overall easy going but I've tried to make my listing more detailed and provide clarity about what's important to me - so you can feel more assured about household fit.

Hi all 👋
I'm looking for a room / accommodation space in the Inner west suburbs of Melbourne, focused on both the Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay council areas.
===========
ABOUT ME:
● My profile here is verified via ID checks - Am happy to provide other checks for your peace of mind. I have other checks such as Working with children (due to my work), Police check, references etc
● I've been a proud Inner west suburbs resident for many years and require new accommodation.
● I have all my regular services and connections within the inner west suburbs - so I want to remain local. I enjoy our area and its fantastic people who make up our generous area - which is why I'm seeking these local areas.
● I'm a mid 30s, working professional, male.
● Previously have been working in the corporate/public sector. But am now working multiple jobs in the community services sector. Also studying remotely part time.
● My background is half Spanish/half English - born here in Melbourne.
● Easy going, and I would call myself an ambivert (I can be extroverted in social settings, but my social battery defaults to being a bit more introverted and self assured) but enjoys meeting people and enjoys especially the outdoors and multicultural festivals of Melbourne.
● I'm not a "party person" (It's not my scene), I'm a more settled and enjoy more relaxed / settled households.
● I'm a considerate person, always respectful of others personal space and belongings.
● I consider myself a practical progressive - so I also value and respect people of different multicultural backgrounds, orientations, beliefs etc.
● Also am a reasonable cook and have a collection of usual foods I can cook and enjoy.
● As an added bonus, I consider myself a thrifty type of person - careful with expenses (ie water usage etc) and also a thrifty shopper with groceries and household essentials.
● I'm also respectful of and am proactive in maintaining cleanliness, household duties and commitments of the place.
● I'm also a great gardener - so if there’s a vegetable/produce garden, this would be a bonus.
===========
LOOKING FOR:
----------------
Types of accommodation:
● A private room in a share house (max 3 or so people) etc
● OR - you may be in a home (as a renter or a homeowner) and have an available or unused self contained granny flat/unit accommodation.
● OR - a one bedroom unit (or similar)
● OR - Also would be open to home sitting and pet sitting opportunities (sitting provided for free accom)
----------------
Budget and Time frame:
● Budget up to $250ish (ballpark range) per week
● Ideally including utility bills (ie Water, Electricity, Internet etc) - But ok if not.
● I have to give notice on my end, but can navigate logistics to meet up with room availability dates.
----------------
Your place will be (clear basic common sense non negotiables / deal breakers for me):
● Housemate work schedules and sleeping routines that ideally align with household quiet time (and/or respect of agreed quiet time) between the reasonable hours of 11pm to 7am. This has been an issue in the past with a housemate using a noisy blender at 5am - and thinking this was acceptable.
● Not a party house (inc no binge drinking). Not my scene sorry - and I'm after a more settled/relaxed household where the house is treated as a retreat from a day of busy work. Hence why an over 30's household is ideal.
● No drugs and "substances" (Inc no cannabis / 420 etc). I am Asthmatic and also I live a more clean lifestyle, substance free. Inc no smoking and no vaping. (Please be transparent about this - as this is very important for me both medical and healthwise). Personal preference.
● Housemates that are reliable, respectful of the others property and personal space, down to earth, genuine and approachable. Esp truthworthy, reliable in paying their finances/bills/rent and shows empathy.
● Standard appreciation of maintaining common area cleanliness - ie bathroom, kitchen, etc. And agreeing to shared household duties.
