Sunny room, separate bathroom, doorman

Hello! The second bedroom in my two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is available beginning June 15.

Women preferred, please. Minimum lease is through April 30.

This luxury elevator building has a 24 hr doorman as well as laundry and workout room on premises. There is a lovely common courtyard available to all residents. The room you will rent has a big window facing Jackie Robinson park, and the hallway bathroom (with shower/bathtub) is yours. There's a unit controlling central air conditioning and heating in your room so you can be as warm or cool as you like.

Your room has a good closet, a full size bed, a dresser, and a large desk. Your room has a view of Jackie Robinson Park. Rent includes utilities and internet (no cable TV), so there are no costs to you other than rent.

The building borders on a great historic neighborhood called Sugar Hill in West Harlem. You are steps away from beautiful Convent Avenue and City College. There are some great restaurants and coffee shops, and yet the neighborhood retains its historic character.

Getting anywhere along the West side is a breeze, since the A, B, C, D subways are one block away, and the 1 or 3 subway lines are short walks away. A quick hop uptown on the D line connects you to the 6 train for the East Side. There's a Walgreens in the building on the first floor, and a couple of good grocery stores quite close. Right across the street are a Starbucks, a New York Sports Club, and Jackie Robinson Park, which has a free outdoor pool in summertime. There are 2 yoga studios just up the street.

To go to City College is a short, pleasant walk. Columbia University Medical School or main campus are both short journeys by subway or even walking. Frequent bus service along 145th Street will take you to Riverbank State Park, with its incredible, affordable sports amenities. If you're going a little farther, Times Square, NYU or Wall Street are all less than half an hour away, from door to door, thanks to the express A and D trains.

I am looking for someone with a quiet lifestyle who is clean, friendly, mature and very respectful of the common areas we share. No illicit drugs or smoking of any kind. No guests unless it's been discussed with me in advance. I require first month's rent, last month's rent and security deposit upon signing.

I am the executive director of a non-profit which promotes mindfulness and self-awareness. I have an active lifestyle, and work from home most days.

I keep the kitchen and dining areas clean and ask that you do, too. The hallway bathroom is yours to use, since I have my own bathroom in the master suite. However, the occasional guest will use it, so I ask that you maintain it tidy and clean. I pay for a cleaning woman about once a month for the whole apartment.

I am a friendly and considerate woman. As long as you are, too, we will enjoy living in the same space.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Catherine
