About This Lister

I'm Laura (she/her). I'm a consumer protection lawyer in my mid-30s, and I’m a friendly introvert who’s home a lot of the time. I’m an avid cyclist, and I love crosswords, reading, roller skating, and cooking/baking. I occasionally get totally sucked into vapid TV shows. I drink socially on occasion and I don't smoke.

I'm hoping to rent the second bedroom to someone who spends much of their time out and about and is looking for a calm, pleasant home base. I work remotely on a regular basis and my desk is in the common area; because noise travels enough to overhear phone conversations, someone who works exclusively outside the home or otherwise will be out during the workweek would be ideal. Sound travels easily in the apartment, so loud music, frequent guests, or bringing the party home are non-starters. This space could be a good fit for someone who's looking for a short-term place to land when moving to the city or in between other long-term apartments. I'm also open to an arrangement of reduced rent for a subletter who only wants use of the space a certain number of days a month (whether traveling outside the city for work or based elsewhere and making regular visits to the city).

If you think this sounds like a good fit, reach out and tell me more about yourself! If it seems like we might be a good match, we can plan a time for you to come see the space.
