Welcome to What I Rent, a weekly series where we take you inside someone’s house. We look at what they pay each month, who they live with, and what they love and hate about their place.
'We’ve come from a two bed house with a garden and a separate living room, dining room and kitchen than cost less than half of what we’re paying in London.'
'We don't have a living room, which would bother a lot of people, but the kitchen is big with a dining table in it and we have the balcony for communal areas.'
'One of the bedrooms was nigh on impossible to warm up in February and March, which wasn’t particularly fun during the sub-zero nights, and the flat is toasty in the heat – but nothing a couple of fans can’t sort out.'
'I don't rely on the bank of Mum and Dad which I'm really proud of, but they still think I'm deluded for not getting a dodgy flat share in Zone 5 and saving money that way.'
'It’s just nice having the freedom of my own place where I can do whatever, and not have anyone complain at me if I don’t do the dishes straight away.'
