I pay £250 a month for a room in a shared flat. I share with 4 other people, and we have a kitchen and bathroom. It's a little pricey I think, but while I'm on benefits I really shouldn't complain. I feel lucky to have found a nice reasonably priced flat, and have friendly flat mates, I would feel very uncomfortable if I lived with people I didn't get on with, because my home is my sanctuary.
