I'm currently living in an apartment which is far too big/expensive for me to justify continuing to live there on my own. After trying to find someone I know to rent a room, I've given up.
I don't really want to advertise on gumtree etc in case I end up with a complete oddball, so I thought I would try looking for an oddball that at least likes mountain biking 
If you, or anyone you know (who is relatively normal), is looking for a room for short/medium term, I'd be grateful if you could pass on my details.
I am at the stage now where I am considering moving out to save money, but really don't want to leave the apartment, which is one of the best I've come across in Glasgow.
It's 2 floors of a corner townhouse on Blythswood Sq in Glasgow. It's the only residential property on the Sq as far as i'm aware, so it's a pretty unique property.
In summary:
Huge lounge with enormous windows overlooking Blythswood Sq, 50" plasma TV, built in Linn surround sound, Xbox 360, streaming Sky/Lovefilm etc, Spotify Premium
Large separate kitchen with all the mod cons and a large island (not an actual island, like Richard Branson's though).
Upstairs toilet and large storage cupboard.
Huge entrance hall and cool open plan staircase.
I also have a large utility room which has a washing machine and tumble dryer, but is plenty big enough for keeping bikes, drying camping kit etc.
2 double bedrooms downstairs (one is mine, the other is for rent), it's furnished.
I've turned the 3rd double bedroom into a "cinema type room" which has a two seater sofa looking onto a 12ft projector wall, which is hooked up to another xbox 360 and surround sound. My favourite room in the house, it's amazing for watching movies and playing BF3 etc It's completly blacked out, but there are some french doors which lead out onto a basement level outside area (good for cleaning bikes etc), which is pretty unique in the city centre.
The downstairs bathroom is huge and has separate bath and shower.
You really need to see it to appreciate what this place is like. I'd rather not put pictures up, if you're interested, pop round for a coffee instead
The only downside is that you'd be living right in town, so it can be noisy at the weekend. So if you are currently living out in the sticks, you will notice it.
As for me, i'm pretty normal. 30 year old lawyer, work a lot through the week, away most weekends and then spend a fair bit of time working abroad.
Money - negotiable. It's difficult to put a price on it because there isn't much on the market to compare it to. I'd need to do the maths re bills etc, but I'd be looking for somewhere around £400 for the room, excluding bills.
I need someone who isn't a reprobate. This flat isn't even available on the market, it is rented to me by the 5* hotel next door, where I lived for 7 months last year. I would be your landlord (you would be sub-letting the room from me). More than happy to do a 1 month trial or similar to see if you like the place etc.
Not fussy as to gender/age.

(wondering how this thread may be turned into some sort of argument/flaming...seems to be pretty neutral at the moment, so holding out a bit of hope it stays that way
