About the place

About the room and apartment:
I am moving back to France and am looking for a reliable new tenant to take over my room in a shared (the other tenant is a lady) apartment located on the second floor of the De Gaard complex in Utrecht Oost. The complex is close to shops, supermarkets, and public transport.

The surrounding area is quiet and pleasant. Tuindorp is known for its peaceful atmosphere, with plenty of greenery and local amenities nearby. The city center is less than 10 minutes away by bike, and the green areas to the east of Utrecht are just around the corner. For daily shopping, the De Gaard shopping center is only a 5-minute walk away.

The room is unfurnished, but the rest of the apartment is furnished. Additional furniture for the apartment can be arranged in consultation with the current co-tenant, who will remain in the apartment.

Apartment features:
• Located on the second floor
• Bright, modern apartment with shared living room, kitchen, and bathroom
• Private storage and parking space available
• Well-maintained complex with lift and intercom system
• Suitable for a professional who values a calm, tidy environment

General entrance with intercom system and mailboxes. Via the parking deck, you can also reach the stairs or lift to the second floor. Bright living room with access to the balcony. Equipped kitchen with induction hob and extractor, combination microwave/oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer.
