Looking for housemates! I have a 110m2 apartment smack in the middle of Rotterdam and have 2 free rooms. I recently moved to Amsterdam with my girlfriend, but still work in Rotterdam, so am keeping the appartment to stay here during the week.
I am 29 and have my own company in the data analytics space. On weekdays I'll be out between 8:30 - 17:30 on average, as I work at the office (not remote). During weekends I'll almost always be in Amsterdam. Before moving in together I always had housemates, which was always fun.
As a housemate I'm easy going, clean, and like doing things together (cook together, go out for drinks, playing games, etc). I respect people's space and need for alone time too (I also need my alone time from time to time). I like having friends over from time to time, but don't really host any large parties. I'd prefer people that are similar. I have a slight preference for others who are also working full time vs. students, but as long as you're an easy going person, who's also clean, and fun to hang out with from time to time, I'm open to it!
About the apartment:
It's a 110m2 apartment. The two rooms that are for rent are ~10m2 and ~15m2. Both have a double bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a chair (note the desk + chair are not in the pictures of 1 room currently, but will be included & can be viewed when visiting the appartment for a viewing).
The apartment is 3 floors, a small entrance at the bottom, 3 bedrooms + a bathroom on the 2nd floor, and a kitchen, living room, sun room (which we have setup as a bar), and large balcony on the 3rd floor.
The apartment is fully equipped with kitchen utilities (oven, induction stove, dishwasher, fridge, boiling water tap, wine cooler, coffee machine, plenty of cooking utensils, pans, pots, etc.). I have a home entertainment set with a projector, which includes a Chromecast setup so you can stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max etc. There are 2 toilets, one on the top floor, and one on the 2nd floor in the bathroom. The bathroom includes a washing machine and dryer, and has a walk-in rain shower.
The rental price is fully inclusive, so it includes: gas, water, electricity, internet (1 GB/s, but most of the time speeds on individual devices max out at about 650 MB/s), building service costs, and a cleaning lady that comes every 2 weeks.
You'll be sharing the appartment with 2 others: me & 1 other person. Before making a final choice for housemates I'll try to organize a short introduction so that we can all get to know eachother a bit.
Another note: the duration would be max 1 year (shorter is also fine, but min. duration is 3 months and preference would be 1 year). This because I'm not entirely certain myself on whether I'll keep living in the 2nd appartment for longer than that.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
