We (Alejandra - 29; Ilias - 34) are searching for someone to share our beautiful home with! We are looking for a young professional around our age who has lived in a shared flat before. The flat is located in the heart of the industrial district (Kreis 5) of Zurich.

The room is
16m2,
furnished and located on the lower floor of a
duplex 5.5
room apartment that measures
180m2
in total. Ale and Ilias occupy the 2 other rooms and the 4th room is used as a guest room / laundry room. There is also a changing room with 9 door wardrobes (each of us has 3) and 2 bathrooms.
The upper floor is a large area with an open kitchen & bar, living & dining area and a
12m2 balcony
. There is also a room with a 3rd toilet, a laundry machine and a tumbler.
The building has an approx.
500m2 roof terrace
that is shared amongst the residents. The flat also has a small cellar in the basement of the building. Additionally, we can access the commonly shared yard from our lower floor.
Parking slots in the garage can be booked for an additional charge.

The rent of the room is
1181.-
(we all pay the same rent) which includes an akonto payment for heating and water bills. We pay Internet separately in an annual bill of 777.- (21.5 CHF /person/month). We are also considering getting a cleaning service for about 60.-/month/person. The deposit is
2x
the monthly rent. We also ask for a downpayment of approximately 1700.- CHF which is the depreciated value of all the furniture and equipment we have bought. You will get some of the money back when you move out (we apply a 20% annual depreciation to everything we bought and share).

Ilias and Alex (who is moving out) moved in during the summer of 2019. Ale joined us last year. The flat was initially empty and was renovated by us. Since then we put a lot of effort into making it the warm and cozy home that it is today :)
We have a really chill vibe going on in the flat as well as with our neighbors and sometimes plan dinners, outdoor activities, partying and traveling together. In blue (and not so blue) days we often drill into deep discussions about _life, the universe and everything_.

Let us just depict the life in a normal day in our flat and if you believe you would be a good fit, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Ilias wakes up around 7am and spends a couple hours in his room working out, meditating, doing yoga and preparing for the working day. He works as a software engineer from home almost every day and occasionally goes to Neuchatel for work.
Ale is a slightly earlier bird and gets up around 6:30. She’s working as a team lead in Oerlikon and spends most of the working days in the office.
Whenever either of us leaves the flat, we like to leave our room door open. It makes it easier knowing who’s at home and who’s not. We like our open door policy and when we close our doors it usually means “do not disturb”.
Every day either or both of us make sure our little jungle that we are very proud of is properly watered.
At the end of the day, you will find Ale chilling on the balcony or out for a good old fashioned ping-pong session. Most probably you will find Ilias listening to some techno music and working on his laptop, reading a book, or DJing. Occasionally, we have our partners and/or friends over, cook, party or Netflix together :)

We are all tech-savvy, so we like to communicate over our WhatsApp group, share our bills over SplitWise and use a common calendar to inform each other when we have visitors or when we’re on holidays.

We hope you liked our little intro :) Looking forward to receiving your message with few information about yourself :)

Ale & Ilias
