We are looking for someone who

- Working or engaged in a fixed daily routine (job/self-employed/internship/research), with a stable rhythm and a sense of responsibility.

- Likes a quiet home base: respect for privacy, little drama, clear communication.

- Tidy and caring: can participate in a simple cleaning rotation and leaves common areas clean.

- Respects house rules such as quiet hours (after 10:00 PM), no smoking indoors, and generally being considerate of one another.

- Long-term minded: someone who prefers to “come home” rather than constantly moving.

## What fits well with Cyclo Casa

- Open-minded and internationally oriented, with respect for differences.

- Reasonable with energy/water and shared items (living together = taking care of things together).

- Willing to share (kitchen/living space/garden) without it becoming a “social obligation” house: everyone has their own life, and there is a nice chat every now and then.

Something more about your co-residents

You will be living with people who view a shared home as a quiet, well-organized home base (not a party house), with clear agreements and respect for each other's boundaries.

Personality & Atmosphere
- Open-minded and respectful; we communicate directly and resolve matters through consultation.

- Everyone has their own life, but there is also room for a positive group atmosphere.

Rhythm & Activities
- Predominantly working/professional housemates with their own schedules, so peace and predictability in the house are important.

- There are fixed times to coordinate together: e.g. (dinner/talk/cleaning) to plan practically and keep the house running.

Daily Household Habits
- Cleanliness is central, especially in the kitchen and common areas; there is a cleaning schedule that everyone follows.

- Quiet hours are respected, certainly between 10:00 PM and 9:00 AM.

- Take your shoes off inside the house; smoking indoors is not okay.

Social, Guests & Agreements
- Occasionally there are dinners/activities; whoever invites guests announces this to the group in advance, especially for larger gatherings.
- Sometimes there are also guests staying for a short period; this is done in consultation so that it remains manageable for everyone.

These things we like to do togther

The atmosphere in the house is calm, social, and open, with a strong focus on respect and good communication, but without a forced “hippie commune” feeling.

## Atmosphere in the house
- There is a **friendly** and international atmosphere: people from different countries, with tolerance for diverse lifestyles and backgrounds.

- Conflicts or tensions are preferably discussed through consultation and direct, honest communication, so that it remains livable for everyone.

## Recurring activities
- Every Thursday there is a fixed “dinner / talk / cleaning” moment or home brunch around 2:00 PM, during which we eat together, clean, and talk about the house and living together.

- On the first day of every month, there is a collective “cyclo dinner” to discuss practical matters regarding the house while simply sitting together at the table.

## Extra social activities
- Housemates can organize dinners, small parties, or gatherings themselves; however, if there are more than three extra guests, this must be announced to the group in advance. - There are regular overnight guests or short-stay guests (for example, friends, CouchSurfers), which creates a dynamic yet respectful social energy in the house.
