room/flat wanted stoke newington area (stoke, Hackney, Highbury/Islington...)

I am 34 yrs old and will move to London due to a position as a Research Fellow at the University of London. Preferably I would like to live with roommates that are easy-going and considerate. I also have a rabbit that would move with me. So you should be animal-friendly. I enjoy the occasional nights out as well as just staying in by myself and relax or having friends over. Maybe some categories that could be added here:

Age range: ca. 29 - 45
smoker: NO
pet: cat would be okay (my rabbit gets on well with cats)
rent min: 500 pcm
rent max: 800 pcm
room size: large double bedroom, 1 bedroom flat, or studio
ideal moving date: 15.11.2008
short/long term: long term

Would be great to hear from someone about this and let me know if you have any questions.
