The other, and probably better option would be a room share with other young professionals. You’ll get a well better area, like Aigburth, Allerton, Mossley Hill.
You could have some new friends as well so you’re not that weirdo out in town by themselves
Good shout this.
If you’re totally new to the area and don’t know anyone then it doesn’t make sense to tie yourself down to a place long term either. I would 100% go for a 6 month contract in house or flat share with professionals. They’re a lot easier to get out of too as you usually just have to find the landlord a new tenant.
If you’re young/patient enough to enjoy it sharing with professionals is great. I’ve made a few good friends through them. I got fed up of it in the end but in my mid to late twenties it was great.
As much as I love the Wirral there’s not a huge amount going on for young people, and public transport is patchy, hence why I moved away for a while. If you like quiet places and natural beauty then it’s perfect.
I’d stick with Liverpool personally.
