A room has come available in one of the most sought after locations in Sydney ?” the ever trendy Surry Hills. It?Ts a five-room, two bathroom house with 6 people (sounds like a lot, but the place is big enough that it doesn?Tt feel that way) and one of our lovely housies is leaving.

The room itself has polished floorboards, fits a double bed and chest of draws (no built-ins) plus you get your own balcony.

As for the rest of the house it?Ts got all the standard mod cons like a dishwasher, washing machine, gas cooking, microwave and an excellent toaster. It also has a nice outdoor area where we can sit and talk about the world.

So who lives there??
An Irish couple ?” Dave is a teacher and Miriam is a mid-wife. They?Tre excellent fun but sometimes talk too fast and you can?Tt understand them because their accents are so strong. But we love them.
Bec, a 24 year-old working in marketing. She likes eating coconuts and complaining about the gym.
Mel, a 27 year-old travel agent. Likes riding her bike to the beach and has lots of travel stories.
Alissa, a 26 year-old journo. Plays a bit of guitar and sometimes makes frittatas at 9:30 at night, just because.

Rent is $285/week which includes all the bills so there are no other sneaky expenses that pop up. Six month lease and a bond paid upfront of 2 weeks rent. We all look after our own meals etc. but we are also good at sharing.

Ideally we?Tre looking for someone in their 20s who works full time and doesn?Tt mind socialising. We like to think of the house as a family and we do have the occasional house party so you?Td have to be ok with that.

Happy house hunting.
