About the occupants
Hi! We're a couple in our 30s looking for a short term housemate (2 - 8 months).
- Diana, 33, environmental project manager. Likes hiking and nature, cooking, yoga, drawing and illustrating, art galleries, reading with a cat on my lap.
- Adam, 34, engineer. Likes building stuff (furniture, electronics, computer programs etc), travel, listening to obscure indie folk music, cycling holidays, going to the pub, making home improvements, showing people the sights of Melbourne.

We both work full time and tend to be out of the house ~8am - 6pm on weekdays, homebodies in the evenings and weekends. We're friendly and easy-going, like to have a chat with our housemates and may have dinner together once in a while, but also like a lot of quiet time to relax and pursue hobbies.
Compatible people
This house would suit someone looking for either a short (2-3 months) or medium (6-8 month) lease - maybe on a student exchange or a work exchange. Ideally we're looking for a female, mid 20s to late 30s -ish, friendly, laid back, good communicator. Clean, respectful of shared spaces. Quiet and peaceful. Up for a cuppa and a chat and/or a shared dinner every now and then. If you like cats that's a bonus :)
Description of pets
Ninja, 13, tabby cat. Sweet but scaredy. Very affectionate once she gets to know you.
Zumba, 10, little black cat. Talkative, social, affectionate, funny personality.
