Room in a shared flat

English Hi everyone We (a couple, 37 and 40) are looking for a flatmate for our 4.5-room apartment in Käferberg. Until now, a friend of ours has been living here part-time in our guest room, but from September he'll be moving on with his family (they recently had triplets), so we're looking for someone to take over the space on a part-time basis. To be upfront, we're quiet and fairly busy people and aren't looking for a classic, social flatshare, but rather someone who uses the room part-time and otherwise enjoys their own space. That way it works best for everyone. A bit about the place: it's a super modern, open-plan apartment built in 2020, with three balconies and lots of light. There's a washing machine and dryer in our own little in-flat laundry, and the (coop) supermarket + cafe etc. is a 2-3 minute walk away. We also have a Denner 5 minutes walk down the street. The living room looks straight out onto the forest, and you have direct access to the Käferberg and its lovely walking trails right from the door. There's also a running track in the forest about 5 minutes away, with night lighting and a soft, low-impact surface. The room is 15 m² and partly furnished. At the moment there's a single bed in there that extends into a double. For longer stays (from around 6 months), you're welcome to change the furnishing to your preferences, and we'll move certain things out as needed; for shorter stays the room stays more or less as it is (we can swap out the bed, for example, but the rest stays). We'd prefer to leave the built-in cupboards on each side of the room in place, as they're attached to the walls. The price depends on how often you're here and always includes all utilities (WiFi, electricity, heating, etc.): * Around half the time (~2 weeks a month), our ideal: approx. CHF 1'100 a month * Up to around 2.5 weeks a month: approx. CHF 1'350 a month * Full-time use: approx. CHF 1'800 a month It's ideal for someone who's only in Zürich part-time, for example a few days a week or just two weeks a month, and who's looking for a quiet, friendly place to stay. When you're here, you'd have your own bathroom with shower/toilet right next to your room for your private use, so essentially your own private corner of the apartment. Your room and bathroom are near the entrance, set slightly apart from the rest of the flat, so you have your own area and won't be disturbed there. It also comes with a private 5 m² balcony that gets the morning sun, all to yourself, ideal for morning yoga for instance. You're welcome to keep your mat out there and set it up however you like. You can access it directly from your room as well as from the living room, though we normally keep the living-room access closed. We mainly use the other, main balcony ourselves, which gets the evening sun. Our cleaner comes twice a month for three hours and, depending on use, will clean your room as well. We also just bought a Midea Split AC, so the place will be cooled in the summers from now on. About us: We're quiet, hardworking people. On the introverted side but friendly and easy-going. We're into hiking, scenic bike rides, travel and tech. Robert: IT Engineer (40-something) Lisa: Startup Founder (Late thirties) We both work remotely from home. Robert has his own office, and depending on how the guest room is being used, I work either in the kitchen-diner or in the guest room. We also have three large Maine Coons who roam freely around the flat, so you'll need to be an animal lover. They generally like having access to the whole place, but if you're not comfortable with that, we can keep them out of your room. The most we'd expect the room to be used is probably around 2.5 weeks a month, but we're happy to work that out with the right person. We're looking for someone for 6 to 12 months initially, with the option to extend. That said, a shorter stay works too, for example if
