We both have very similar aesthetics so we\u2019ve been able to decorate our shared and personal space in a way that we both love. It\u2019s also nice having someone to share a cosy night in with when we both fancy a takeaway and Netflix instead of an evening out!<\/p>\n<h2>What do you love most about your home?<\/h2>\n<p>It really feels like home. Our place was a lucky find, and we pounced on it as soon as we found it! Adding personal touches to the space (for example, we\u2019ve filled the bookshelves with our current favourite reads) has really helped to add character to the space.<\/p>\n<h2>Where&#8217;s your favourite place to go in Bermondsey?<\/h2>\n<p>Bermondsey Street is full of independent shops and restaurants, so we both love taking a trip there. One of our favourite local places to eat is Village East, they do a brilliant brunch!<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the most annoying thing a flatmate can do?<\/h2>\n<p>Not tidy up after themselves. We\u2019ve both lived with people who have been really messy before, and it can really ruin the atmosphere of your living space. Luckily, we both like to keep things tidy so this hasn\u2019t been an issue for us (yet)!<\/p>\n<h2>How do you take time out for yourself?<\/h2>\n<p>Personally, I like to listen to podcasts, so I\u2019ll often run myself a bath and pop one on when I\u2019m feeling stressed out. If I\u2019m not in the mood for that, there\u2019s nothing pizza and a glass of white wine can\u2019t fix!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-921\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-921\" src=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/28FFC969-464C-4A41-B494-1D5FED5BB2F8-1440x2160.jpg\" alt=\"Flatmate Stories: Albertine &amp; Freya\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2160\" srcset=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/28FFC969-464C-4A41-B494-1D5FED5BB2F8-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/28FFC969-464C-4A41-B494-1D5FED5BB2F8-1440x2160-200x300.jpg 200w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/28FFC969-464C-4A41-B494-1D5FED5BB2F8-1440x2160-768x1152.jpg 768w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/28FFC969-464C-4A41-B494-1D5FED5BB2F8-1440x2160-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Kaye Ford<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>And, a quick fire round&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Early riser or night owl?<\/strong> Early riser<br \/>\n<strong>House party or dinner date?<\/strong> Dinner date<br \/>\n<strong>Coffee in or coffee out?<\/strong> Coffee out<br \/>\n<strong>Cooking or takeaway?<\/strong> Takeaway<br \/>\n<strong>Music or TV?<\/strong> TV<br \/>\n<strong>Laundry or dishes?<\/strong> Laundry<br \/>\n<strong>Bath or shower?<\/strong> Bath<br \/>\n<strong>Online shopping or in person?<\/strong> Online<\/p>\n<p>And with that, we leave Albertine and Freya to their beautiful home, in an area we love.
