☀️ Bright, furnished primary bedroom in East Village 3BR
📍 E 4 Street between 1 & 2 Ave

Happy August, LPers! I’m subletting a beautifully appointed, furnished, sunny primary bedroom in my beloved East Village home. The space is ideal for someone seeking inspo, light, and lucky vibes during a stay in downtown Manhattan.

🛏 Your room

This dreamy bedroom gets beautiful natural light throughout the day. It’s furnished and comes with great fixins: desk, dresser, full bed, nightstand, mirrors, unmatched (humble-brag) art book/poetry/philosophy/rare and small press lit-filled library, and vintage posters from historic NYC venues. Think calm, contemplative, curated.

🧯 Urban escape-cum-lifehack

Friends frequently refer to our citydweller's stoop/yard as "the best fire escape in New York City." It truly is a magical space––for sipping coffee in the mornings, journaling and reading in the afternoon, unwinding with a drink or spliff at night after (or before) a quintessential EV night of adventures and merrymaking.

🛁 Recently reno'ed!

Our kitchen and washroom are equipped with all-new appliances and fixtures as of April 2025. We have a dishwasher, as well as lots of high-quality gear for home chefs. Our bathroom has beautiful stone- and tilework AND great water pressure, too (we count all our blessings – it's New York, after all)!

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Flat & flatmates

You’ll share space with two kind, social impact-driven AMABs in their early 30s. One is a serial founder and inventor who's currently building a youth mental health startup. The other is a tech policy fellow working on anti-militarisation at a global philanthropic organisation. Our house vibes are mellow and mindful—ideal for independent, respectful folx with a shared sense of care, community, good humor and warmth.

The living room is a colorful, inviting hangout zone filled with books and records. There are A/C units in all rooms, we have gigabit wifi, and we even have a cinema-quality projector with an Amazon Firestick set up for home movie nights.

🚇 Location

We’re in the true heart of downtown/EV: <10 mins walking from LES, NoHo, and Nolita. There's easy access to tonnes of trains:

–2 Ave F
–1 Ave L
–Broadway-Lafayette B/D/F/M
–Astor Place 6
–8th Street N/R/W
–Bowery J/Z

Essex Market, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods are all easy walks; Tompkins Square Park is a hop-skip (one ave, two streets); and the Village herself provides infinite choice of beautiful bars, cosy cafés, Michelin-starred restaurants, and numerous "this city never sleeps" all-night bodegas, delis, pizza joints, and of course much much more (don't worry – we'll share our Google lists with all of our faves and recs)!

💸 Rents & deets
$2,400/month (includes 2x/month cleaning, utilities and wifi)
$650/week for shorter stays

Dates: August 1-31 with possibility to extend through September.
Pending fit, a lease takeover is also a possibility.

Please send a short intro, what brings you to EV/NYC, and your ideal dates/duration in your reply. This sweet space is a calm, creative haven for friendly flatmates—we hope it can be the same for you!

About This Lister

👋 I’m in my mid-30s, and am currently on sabbatical after leaving a strategy and venture-building role at a Big Five consulting firm. These days I’m focused on rest, reorientation, and purpose-driven projects — arts consulting, creative producing, and – as of this summer – beginning work on a long-dreamed-of feature film.

⌛ Before this chapter, I ran my own business, lived and worked abroad, and travelled pretty constantly. I moved back to New York in early 2022 –– 50+ countries and it's still the place that feels closest to a true home.

❣️ I love books, music, and sunshine; distance running, swimming, and yoga; and spending time with people who are curious, generous, kind, and unafraid to reinvent. I'm usually thinking about the intersection of beauty, justice, and systems — and trying to live in a way that reflects all three.
