Hello!
I have a spare room available in my beautiful, light filled unit in Maidstone.
The room is a medium size bedroom, partly furnished with a double bed and a bedside table & lamp. The room has large built in wardrobes and there is enough space in the room to add a desk if required.
The unit is a two bedroom, one bathroom unit with an open plan kitchen and living space, European laundry and a small courtyard. The house is fully furnished. There is a small driveway that can hold one car, however there is plenty of street parking right in front of the house if necessary.
The area is nice and quiet, and all my neighbours are lovely and supportive. It's a nice community feel.
It's a 5-minute walk to a bus stop that goes directly to Victoria University Footscray Park Campus and Footscray Station (two stops from the Melbourne CBD).
It's a 17-minute walk to the closest shopping district Central West, that has a Coles, Aldi, butcher, fine foods grocer, hairdressers, nail salon and massage parlour as well as some cafes/restaurants.
You will be living with one other person:
My name is Lana, I'm a queer femme creative in my early 30s currently studying at VU whilst also working as a disability support worker.
I'm a pretty low-key person, outside of studying and working, I usually like to chill at home with my dog. I like hiking, trying out new arts and crafts or watching a new TV series. Occasionally, I like going out or having friends over for a tea/wine or dinner but this isn't a regular occurrence.
My dog Stella is a 9-year-old Kelpie x German Shepherd. She's medium size and a very timid and sweet dog, she great around people and other dogs. She enjoys scratches and loves eating anything she can get her paws on. She's usually with me wherever I go, including work and when she's at home, you'll find her sleeping in the cupboard in my room.
I'm looking for an housemate that:
- Is progressive/does not tolerate bigotry
- Is super clean/considerate (particularly in the shared spaces)
- Is chill
- Enjoys keeping to themselves but will occasionally enjoy sharing a wine/tea/dinner every once in a while

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
