Houses for lease

#1 I have a beautiful double bedroom available in an apartment to share with one other person. The apartment is on the 12th floor and the room itself is a large double bedroom with two big beds under the window. There is a lamp and a chest of drawers between the two beds. In the corner of the room, there is also a wardrobe and a bookshelf. The apartment has a modern kitchen and an open living room. It is only a 5-minute walk to the bus stop. A one month deposit is needed, but there are no other fees.

#2 We have a large unfurnished double room, in a really nice house in the city. It's a big and clean house with a beautiful street view. The house is a 10-minute walk from the station. There is a shared living room, bathroom and kitchen with an air-conditioner, two ceiling fans, a microwave, a television and four armchairs. The minimum term is three months and the deposit is one month's rent.

#3 The room is in a two bedroom house that is very close to the bus stop going to the town. There is a kitchen next to the room and it's furnished including a dishwasher. There are also two large modern bathrooms with separate showers. The room is facing the garden and it is nice and quiet. It's good for people who enjoy a quiet but sociable life.
