            I was by far the oldest person in the house - everyone else seemed to be in their first jobs out of university, but it was a good laugh.

                      I work away a lot and I like my own space, so have avoided flat shares, up until now.
                      I like to be comfy, but above all I have to be somewhere that is quiet. I have rented my own place, used B&Bs, Monday to Friday, hotels (booking.com,laterooms and hotlclub are all good) airbnb and am currently in a delightful flatshare in Docklands that I found via spareroom.
                      Prior to this, i had stayed in many of the local hotels and used airbnb. I dont like the tube in rush hour, so i would only stay within a 20 to 30 min walk from the office which did restrict me.
                      The flat is very nice with a great view, I have my own front door and bathroom and my landlady works in an IB, so is never home.
                      Its not cheap, but is right for me, and ensures i get some exercise walking to and from work every day.
                      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
