I am looking for a flatmate to take over a room in a large shared flat, ideally starting mid-January or beginning of February.
**The apartment**
The flat is in a beautiful historic building which is a 1 minute walk from the Baden Bahnhof (2 minutes if you go to Gleis 1). There is no noise from the trains, as we are on the opposite corner of the building. The proximity of the apartment makes it easy to enjoy a leisurely life in Baden, or to be at Zürich HB within 16 minutes via direct connection!
We would share common areas of the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The apartment also has a washing machine, drying room, and per-flat Kellers down below.
Your room currently has a full-wall sideboard which offers a lot of storage space, but we can discuss moving this if desired.
The listed rent includes fixed Nebenkosten for heating and water which gets partially refunded every so often, fixed internet bill, and a variable electicity bill that we split equally.
**A bit about me, a bit about you**
I am Parker, a 27 year-old man working in data science, studying at ETH, and embracing a calm life. I enjoy playing music (we have an upright piano and acoustic guitar in the living room, I play mostly classical, jazz, and bossa nova), dancing (mostly west-coast swing and salsa), and well of course studying and working (I am about to start my master's thesis, and I work part-time in Zürich).
When I get the chance, it's fun to host small dinners with friends, or go on a day hike followed by a soak in the baths. Otherwise I often find myself quietly working from home in the living room, or finding something to cook with some music on.
The vibe of the flat is what we would make of it. Non-negotiable is a commitment to cleanliness and care towards the physical space, as well as communication and respect towards each other. We can talk every day and share a meal or two each week, or we can keep to ourselves and just say hello. I get along well with both types of people -- just so long as we're clear about expectations, boundaries, and resolving any conflicts that arise before they become issues.
You should most likely be a student or young professional. I have shared housing with both men and women, so that makes no difference to me (as long as we coordinate if someone needs the shower in the morning). You should not smoke nor bring any pets into the flat.
If you've read this far, let me know: have you ever been to Baden before? I'd like to know a bit about you and your expectations for living in the flat. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
