Ethel's room

Johannesburg, Gauteng 2090

You’ll be moving into a spacious 2-bed, 2.5-bath duplex in a boomed-off area close to Melrose Arch (3 mins), Rosebank (8 mins), Sandton (10 mins), Braamfontein (15mins) and Edenvale (15 mins).

Downstairs is a fully furnished, open-plan lounge and dining space, a guest toilet, a walled kitchen with a gas stove, nespresso machine and air fryer and a nicely sized backyard where the dogs hang out during the day.

Upstairs, the available bedroom is large (about 5x4m/20sqm), full of light from huge windows that overlook the parking area, and has lots of built-in cupboards. It’s currently my home office, but will be cleared for you and left unfurnished, or furnished with a bed and desk if needed.

We’ll share two upstairs bathrooms: one with a shower and toilet, and another with a bath and basin.

Rent includes utilities, fast uncapped WiFi (with it’s own backup power supply), and a cleaner who comes twice a week to keep the place clean plus she does laundry and ironing too. There’s also an extra parking bay available if needed.

I’m a 30-year-old woman with an active lifestyle. I live a pretty low-key life: I don’t host parties or have people over often, and I love a clean home.

I share my space with two small, friendly dogs who spend their days chilling in the backyard and sleep in their own beds in my room at night.

I work from home and on weekends I’m either at the gym, out touching grass or home watching anime, and I don’t drink or smoke.

The space is big enough that we won’t really feel like we’re in each other’s way.

I lived with my best friend for 2 and a half years, but he’s moved out to start the next chapter with his fiancée, and I don’t really enjoy the silence lol.
