UN Intern looking for short term rental

Hi,

My name is Jana, and I’m from Vienna, Austria. I’m currently studying law at the University of Vienna and working part-time as a teaching assistant. My main academic interests are human rights and international law, which is why I’m very excited to have the opportunity to intern at the Austrian Mission to the UN from September 1st to November 30th.

I will be 25 at the time of the internship. When I was 15, I spent time as an exchange student in San Antonio, Texas, and since some members of my host family used to live in NYC, I’ve had the chance to visit the city several times. Each visit made me fall in love with New York a little more, so I’m incredibly excited to return for a longer stay.

Due to some dietary restrictions (I’m vegetarian and lactose intolerant), staying in a boarding house isn’t the best option for me. That’s why I’m currently looking for accommodation through other routes.

A bit more about me: I’m a very clean and organized person. I value having my own space, but I also enjoy socializing from time to time. I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes cooking for myself and staying active. In Vienna, I’m part of a swimming club and train about 3–4 times a week, and I also enjoy going to the gym. I’d love to continue this routine while working a 9–5 schedule in NYC. I don’t smoke and would prefer a roommate who doesn’t either.

Although my internship starts in September, I would ideally like to move in in late August and stay until early December. Ideally I am looking for a place close to the UN Headquarters and reachable by public transport within 30 Minutes. I would prefer to rent or sublet directly from the owner or current renter (no realtors, please).

I would love to hear from you!
