Nice room in loft flat close to Tempelhofer Feld

The flat is located halfway between S+U Hermannstraße and the lovely Tempelhof field, a 5-minute walk from either. Alexanderplatz is a 15-minute U-Bahn trip away, and the Brandenburg airport is a 40-minute S-Bahn trip away. If you don't know about Tempelhofer Feld, you will be pleasantly surprised by this wonderful airport-turned-park. I go there basically every other day, walking, biking, jogging, inline skating or barbecuing. There's even an ice skating rink just down the street where you can rent skates by the hour and get your elbows bruised or maybe even bust your lip open.

I am Bo and I am a relaxed, friendly 41-year old flatmate who has lived in a bunch of WG's since moving to Berlin 6 years ago (from Sweden). I enjoy having friends over for dinner now and then, but I don't want a party WG – when I want to party I go to one of Berlin's fine (or sleazy) bars, clubs or parks. Between around 11pm and 9am, we keep it quiet. (Of course a dinner now and then can go on a bit longer than that, especially if we're both enjoying it.)

I like listening to indie pop/rock and singer-songwriter music, but not annoyingly loud. If you love listening to loud techno or grindcore at home, you should probably look for another place.

My friends say that I'm a positive and tolerant person, who has the ability to always see the positive side of any situation. Living with me is fun, yet comfortable, relaxed and secure. Naturally, we'd have to meet to know if we like each other.

We will have a Putzplan, taking turns cleaning the common areas of the flat. Dirty dishes are not left unwashed for long (no need to do them before eating, but most of the time before doing whatever's coming up next that day). Common areas are to be cleared after using them so stuff is not left collecting dust everywhere. Smoking is allowed on the balcony only (two steps from the dinner table). Shoes are normally taken off indoors.

We can of course also have friends staying over now and then. We cannot, however, rent out our rooms every time we go travelling for a few days (only if going away for a month or more, provided the landlord approves, which it also may not do). And your significant other cannot move in. My girlfriend who lives in another city visits for a weekend a month or so, another weekend or so each month I go visit her.

Your bike cannot move into the hallway or park on the balcony, no matter how beautiful/delicate/expensive it is. It can quietly stay in your own room provided it doesn't oil/dirty up the room or hallway. There is no cellar, but there's a backyard where I and many others place their bikes.

I work mostly daytime, at home, making music (and an extra job too). It's ideal if you don't also do home office work (obviousy, with lockdowns this might at times be impossible these days). I'm usually not loud at home, but I often practice a bit or record some music or videos (at neighbour-friendly hours).

Because I want to practise my German, a native German speaking flatmate would also be a bonus. (I speak C1 or so German, that is I'm kind of almost close to soon possibly being half fluent.)
