Sunny Room with Huge Private Terrace – Sublet in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
About the Space
This is a bright and functional private room in a cozy 3-bedroom apartment located on the 5th floor (walk-up, no elevator). The room has direct access to a large private terrace perfect for relaxing, working outdoors, or enjoying Brooklyn sunsets.
The room includes:
50-inch Smart TV
Air conditioning
Large window + natural light from the terrace
Desk and chair (great for working from home)
Shared bathroom (with one other person)
No closet, but there’s under-bed storage, movable boxes, and hangers behind the door
Several plants — just water them once a week 🌱
Photos of the room are current. Photos of common areas were taken earlier (NYC weather didn’t help lately), but the space still looks the same!
The Apartment
You’ll be living with three Colombian professionals in their 40s–50s: a restaurant owner, a lighting designer, and a DJ. It’s a calm, creative, and respectful home very homey, not a party spot.
Fully equipped kitchen
High-speed WiFi
Familiar, cozy, and collaborative environment
Everyone cooks often and keeps shared spaces clean
House Rules (please read):
Bathroom must be cleaned weekly
Common areas cleaned monthly (schedule posted on fridge)
No parties
No guests in the room without prior notice (unapproved guests = $100 fine)
No hard drug use
Smoking and 420 allowed only on the terrace
Dishes must be washed immediately after use
Respect and consideration for others is essential
The Neighborhood
This part of Bed-Stuy is one of the least gentrified areas in Brooklyn, with a strong sense of community and history. Many of the original neighbors still live here, and the area is majority Afro-Caribbean. It's a calm, real Brooklyn vibe.
Grocery stores and restaurants are in the area but a few blocks away
The best laundromat is one block from the building (there’s a washer in the building, but I recommend the laundromat — I’ll leave a prepaid card for you to use)
Subway: Ralph Ave (C line) is one block away — super easy for commuting
Important
This sublet is for serious, respectful, and independent adults.

I’m the current tenant of the room, a creative professional who lives and works in NYC. I’ll be away on vacation for the entire month, so I’m looking for someone respectful and responsible to enjoy the space while I’m gone. I care deeply about the atmosphere in our home — it’s peaceful, warm, and shared with lovely, kind people. I’ll make sure everything is ready and clean for your stay, and I’m happy to answer any questions before move-in.
