Seeking Private Room for May 1st or earlier
I’m a research assistant & doctoral candidate at Columbia University, currently teaching and working on a dissertation in archaeology and art history. I’m looking for a room to rent starting either late April or early May. There’s some flexibility on the move-in date, cost, and length of the lease. My priority is finding a space and roommate(s) that fit well with my work/life balance, personality, and living style.
Here's some more info about me and what I'm looking for in a rental…

Interests: art museums, musical theatre, trying new cocktail recipes, classic films and documentaries, non-academic reading (genres: mystery, fantasy, adventure), yoga, tango, trivia nights, picnics in the park, movie nights, cooking for friends, and petting all dogs big and small.
Work Schedule: Some days and evenings I work from the library or teach on campus in Manhattan The rest of the time I work from home (writing my dissertation and studying at my desk), so it's not much of a disturbance to the household.
