A sundrenched, high-ceilinged room is available in my beautiful pre-war 800 sq ft apartment in Yorkville. The room comes with a full bed and linens, a dresser, an armoire, full-wall mirror and beautiful built-in bookshelves. The apartment features an enormous eat-in kitchen, a palatial living room with a massive Persian rug, beautiful furnishings, a Steinway baby grand and a television w/ hbo max, hulu, netlifx & amazon prime. The apartment has hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, crown molding, and built-in cabinetry galore.
You would be living with me and my boyfriend. I am an actress and jazz singer, and he is a jazz musician. The apartment feels very quintessential old New York in a Woody Allen kind of way. I have tons of books and I've decorated the place with lots of antiques. It is a railroad apartment, so we would have to pass through your room to use the living room (which we hardly ever would do except to use the piano (we never watch TV)-- so essentially the entire living room is yours to spread out in) and you would pass through our room to get to the bathroom. We have shared the space with both long-term roommates and temporary subletters over the years and have made many lasting friendships along the way. We’re both passionate (and pretty talented!) cooks, so chances are you’ll be treated to the occasional delicious home-cooked meal. If that bohemian style works for you, then it works for us!
The apartment is on the 2nd floor of a classic New York townhouse. There are only 5 units in the building, so it is always very quiet. Yorkville is a wonderful neighborhood. We are three blocks from the East 86 Street Q Train and very close to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade. Also very close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim and the Neue Gallerie.

We are very flexible on dates and length of stay. Feel free to inquire for any amount of time ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Must pay all up front plus a security deposit (amount determined by length of stay).
Also, while we are ideally looking for someone short-term, we are open to the right person who would want to stay longer-term. In that case, it would be 1 month's rent deposit to be returned at the end of the stay.
