1br available June 1st for for short or long term.
We're on the top floor and there's great light on all sides. There's also a front yard with a garden, grill and hammock.
The neighborhood is part residential, part restaurant/cafe/wine bars.
East River is a block away with views of the city and a beautiful bridge. Perfect for a morning coffee or picnic. Astoria park is also there (pool, summer outdoor movies, track, lawn, yoga, etc.).
To us, it's a little sanctuary.
You room:
? Very sunny, particularly in the morning (no buildings around)
? Faces the gardens in the back
? River is down nearby. Every now and then you get a sea breeze sitting by the window.
? Twin size (8 x 10 ft). The photos show it with a queen and twin bed inside.
? Small closet inside the room. A larger one outside too.
? $800/month, plus utilities (~$40/month; wifi and gas/electricity)

Living with us:
? 3 females (though open to all genders), 27-33 years old

? We like design, cleanliness, sustainability
? Kind, quiet, generally low key, clean. Occasional dinners/brunches.
? Some of us aren't home much. Some work from home.
? Looking for someone who also takes care of the space, is responsible and is a good fit. So, tell us about you.
Commute:
? Astoria Ditmars (N/W) is a 12 min walk. Less with the bus. It's a nice walk and worth it.
? Queens plaza (7/F/G/E/M/R) are accessible via the Q100 bus, which is a block away
? Lots of street parking
? Biking is a great option too (some of us do)
Here are more details:
THE APARTMENT
We like making things and some of the furniture, artwork and other constructs are ours.
The kitchen has a dishwasher and lots of cabinet space. There are also coffee makers, juicer, slow cooker, ice cream maker, plates/glasses/utensils, etc. You're welcome to use them all.
There's one bathroom, but it's never been a problem since our schedules vary.
In the yard, there's plenty of space to garden. If you want to have dinner outside, you can bring out the lights and a hammock and enjoy some grilled food.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
These blocks are residential, mostly family-oriented with a couple great restaurants. Our neighbors are really lovely. We try to be the same.
Delicious restaurants/bars are about a 12 minute walk - Astoria Bier and Cheese, wine bars, coffee shops, really nice restaurants, and the best grilled octopus I ever had.
Laundromats and groceries are ~2 blocks away. By the subway there are better stores: a few Greek markets, Italian market, fruit/veggie places, etc.
Astoria Park has a pool, running track, lawn where people tan, and movies in the summer. It's under two bridges.
ABOUT YOU
A few things that'll make a good match:
That we all get along well. Hopefully this has given a good sense of whether it's a good fit.
We like our space and want someone who takes care of it. How it looks in the pictures is roughly how we keep it day-to-day.
We're not perfect though, so there may be dishes in the sink for a day, or the living room messy with a project or work stuff, and we're easy going about that.
Sustainability in day-to-day is important - recycling, eco friendly cleaning supplies, etc.
Pet/smoking-wise - we're not allowed to have either inside.
We split things like cleaning supplies, toilette paper, etc. on Splitwise.
