Hello! I have a private bedroom available in my apartment beginning DECEMBER 1ST. I am seeking a female tenant.
Read all the details below. ***To inquire, please provide the requested information listed at the very bottom. If the ad is up, it's available.*** Unfortunately, emails without this basic introductory information will be ignored. Thank you.
------------------------------------------
The building is located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn at Quincy Street & Lewis Avenue. It is generally quiet and has good street parking outside. Cafes, laundromat & grocers are within 5 blocks.
The J/Z trains @ Gates Avenue Station are 5 blocks away [10 mins walk or 3 mins bus ride.]
The A/C trains @ Utica Avenue Station are 12 blocks away [16 mins walk or 5 mins bus ride.]
Arrive in lower Manhattan in 30 minutes.
My apartment is located on the 2nd floor. *No outside shoes are worn indoors.* It is well organized, and cleaned every 1-2 days plus tidying up per use.
The available room is approx. 7.5 ft x 9 ft with 10 foot ceilings. There is a nice sized closet, a tall window [limited sunlight] and an air conditioner. Furnished or partially furnished with a full size bed, under bed storage, and a small folding table and chair. Unfurnished for a longer term is okay.
Directly outside of the room is a semi-private storage area. Here you will have a large shelf for dry snacks and a medium size mini fridge with freezer. There is also a bit more shelf space for personal items you can't fit in your bedroom closet. ***The kitchen is only available for limited usage*** i. e. sink for dishwashing, filling Brita tank, and/or 1 day weekly for a batch meal. Use of the air fryer-oven-microwave combo to reheat food with slightly more frequency is allowed.
There is roof access with amazing city views and lots of space for your plants (BYO water).
Officially, this is a 4 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment. However, it is very much like a 2 bedroom apartment due to our habits and the unique layout (see layout photo). There are 2 female roommates in 2 of the bedrooms furthest from you. Both spend about 70% of their time working outside of the home, at their partner's studio apartments, or nearby family homes. One has a private entrance and kitchenette so seeing her is very rare. The other comes by a bit more but rarely showers here and doesn't use the kitchen. Both are long term roommates (1-4 years) and this is the general "style" of roommate for those 2 rooms.
The final room is where I reside with my long term male partner. We've always worked remotely and mainly from home. I make heavy use of the kitchen as a food writer and for my general interests/side gigs (food anthropology, nutrition kits, DIY beauty, etc.) We are quiet people who keep to ourselves but will always give a nice hello or assist. We can adjust our schedules for you but generally we enjoy early mornings and quieter times by 11pm.
None of us host guests, have pets or smoke indoors. A very infrequent use of Palo Santo or resin incense is possible.
We all lead very independent lives while peacefully cohabitating in a private, clean and calm environment.
***REQUIREMENTS/TERMS***
The best fit is for a solo female, any age, working or student with a *somewhat consistent schedule a few days weekly outside of the home.*
Please Be...very clean / peaceful when at home / host a guest only 1-2 times weekly / non-indoor smoker / very responsible with rent / good at communicating issues with resolution in mind / good sense of integrity.
*Only needs minimal kitchen usage - see detailed description above *
------
DECEMBER 1ST. $875 monthly rent includes all utilities and FiOS wifi. 5 month or longer stay preferred but please inquire.
1st and security, proof of employment/funds, photo ID and reference required. No credit check but an in-person viewing/virtual interview with detailed questions should be expected.
A small, in-room only pet is okay. Pets old enough or use to being left alone (no puppies/kittens). I am happy to watch your pet while you're gone and if I'm available but no free roaming pets are allowed.
***TO INQUIRE/SETUP VIEWING/APPLY***
Message me a brief roommate related bio which must include your general schedule, expected guest frequency and confirmation of the limited kitchen usage. If you have any additional info (pets, allergies, deal breakers, etc.) please include that as well. Thank you!
