"Queer shared apartment looking for a third person: Furnished room in a modern 5.5-room apartment – long-term rental"

Room
As our current housemate is unfortunately leaving us, we are renting out a furnished room of 14 m² with plenty of sunlight, parquet flooring and underfloor heating. The room is available from 16 December or by arrangement. Both a long-term rental (preferred) and a fixed-term rental are possible.

The room is furnished with a large wardrobe, a sideboard, a table, curtains, chairs and a sofa bed (135 × 194 cm). (The TV shown in the preview image is no longer there.) The view looks out onto a green space and the large balcony, and occasionally catches sight of the slightly crazy cats from the neighbourhood. One of the two bathrooms (6,4 m²) is right next to the room. It has a toilet, a bathtub/shower and two sinks, and is shared with just one other person.

Already included in the costs
The service charges include internet, electricity, water, Serafe and the equipment used jointly.

Location
The apartment is in Zurich's District 9 and has good public transport connections (tram 2/3, bus 33, 83, 89). Zurich main station is around 20 minutes away by travel time, and Hardbrücke and Altstetten train stations are about 10 minutes away. There are plenty of shops; two nearby petrol stations also make it possible to stock up outside regular shop opening hours (until 23:00). For active residents, there is a climbing centre with an integrated café/restaurant, fitness studios and the lovely Letzigraben outdoor swimming pool. Further venues are currently being developed at Koch-Areal (details are not yet known).

A special feature of the development:
A distinctive feature of the development is its own concierge service (James), so parcels no longer need to be collected from the local post office. Additional services (not included in the rent), such as laundry or holiday services, are just part of what is on offer. The facilities also include a drying room, a bicycle room and waste disposal facilities in the basement. Green waste disposal is also easy to reach.

Shared apartment life
We are looking for an easy-going and harmonious way of living together. This naturally means communicating openly before anything starts to bother anyone. We welcome an interest in one another and a bit of chatting now and then, as well as spending time together while also having plenty of space to oneself. We are not a party hotspot, but nor are we a silent monastery. Consideration, reliability, cleanliness and personal responsibility are important to us.

We share household chores fairly. We buy household supplies together and share the costs. A cleaner can also be arranged on request (at your own expense).

The apartment is furnished to a high standard, including a TV, Sonos system, Hue lighting system, fully equipped kitchen and Wi-Fi. We like animals, but would prefer to keep the apartment pet-free. Smoking is allowed on the balcony.
