We are offering our sun-drenched loft on the full second floor of a former sewing machine factory for sublet from December 11, 2024 - January 15, 2025. We are asking $2750 for the month (with a few extra days included for free). This is well below our actual rent, but our previous subletter just fell through and we are hoping to still cover basic expenses while we are away, with someone enjoying our beautiful home.
Features include 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, a charming casement 'fairy-door' leading down the fire escape to the backyard, in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher, and Sonos setup for streaming music. The 800 square foot apartment has an open-plan C-shaped layout that allows for both openness and distinct spaces, with the bedroom (in the back) and office (in the front) set off from the main space. West-facing windows line the front of the apartment and east-facing windows in back, providing lovely sunlight throughout the day.
The space is curated with furniture, art and plants, as well as a wall of books in the front study/office area.The is apartment is warm and cozy during the winter months while also being open and perfect for hosting small gatherings, working from home, yoga and meditation, cooking elaborate meals, or curling up with a book. The fully furnished unit has space for personal items and the well-stocked kitchen includes a large kitchen island that also serves as a dining table seating four.
Right around the corner from Maria Hernandez Park, the lively neighborhood offers great culinary variety (from delicious tamale stands and a Saturday farmer’s market to multiple Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants) and shops ranging from discount to specialty items. The Jefferson L train is a six-minute walk away (so less than 20 minutes to Union Square) and there is a large, 24/7 grocery store next door.
Looking for a responsible and reasonably quiet, non-smoking person or couple (no roommates, sadly no pets, no parties). We absolutely love our charming home, and hope to find someone who will care for our plants and home like we do ourselves, while making themselves comfortable and enjoying all the loft and neighborhood have to offer. The rent includes all utilities and internet. Ideally we'd like to find someone for the full month, but we'd potentially be open to a shorter rental of 2-3 weeks.
We are a couple (artist and academic) who will be away over winter break. We *love* this place and hope to share it with someone who might love it as much as we do.
We have a good relationship with our landlord upstairs and our neighbors downstairs and are looking for a considerate, responsible person or couple to enjoy our home while we are away.

Sublease agreement, full rent, and security deposit (returned within 10 days of departure) required. We would prefer to meet in person to show you through the space and get to know each other a little bit, but would consider a remote viewing for a seriously interested person.
