One bedroom for rent for $575. Although this listing says it is available May 31st it can be available sooner if necessary. There is a slight possibility of keeping it after August but I wouldn’t bet on it. Rent would be prorated if you move in earlier.

It definitely leans on the "cozy" side but roommates have fit a full-size bed in the past, and a couple even lived in the room for a while! It currently a twin-sized cot, and two shelves for but they can be removed if you would prefer.

It has a lot of privacy as it has a separate entrance, but the building only has two apartments so we frequently leave the door to the main space open so you have ease of entering the apartment. It has a decent sized closet and there is a possibility of some shared closet space in the main living space as well.

This is a relatively speaking spacious apartment in beautiful Ridgewood. A short walk away from all amenities and in a very calm, quiet neighborhood (one of the few dead end streets in NYC!). Ridgewood: with a Variety Coffee down the street and many restaurants, cafes, bars and venues nearby, especially when you head south.

The space has tons of plants and I welcome more. I also have ample cooking supplies that you can use (crock pot, blender, rice cooker, nutribullet, baking pans, etc) but please use my stuff respectfully and if something does break I do need it to be replaced. (nutribullet has wear and tear so I get that if it craps out with time) Because my other roommate and I have plenty of our own cookware and housewares it's a good space for someone who is traveling pretty light due to storage reasons.

I love cooking with people so I am open to cooking together and share food if we can communicate well about how we are doing that. I also have a car so you are welcome to tag along on my weekly treks to Trader Joes or I can pick up items for you.

Overall it's a pretty calm space outside of my cat occasionally trying to solicit some snuggles, pets, and treats. I am a very patient, flexible person very good communication skills so I definitely want to make sure you are happy in your living space.

I get up pretty early for work from September to June so if you stay up late and are in the bedroom please be quiet. Because the bedroom is cut off from the main space you can actually be pretty loud there and I won't hear anything. You can obviously do whatever you want out of the apartment but please don't bring the party home. (no friends where I can hear them talking loud late at night, don't play loud music, don't slam the door, etc). Guests are welcome as long as they interfere with my sleep schedule and am ok with my early wake up if they sleep on the couch.

The expectation is that you pay one third of the utilities each month ($50-$60) and contribute to cleaning every week. I try to do general upkeep every day (cleaning up spills, etc) and will sometimes leave my breakfast dishes in the sink if I'm running late in the morning but always wash them when I come home. I typically do a big clean every weekend (wipe down/dust the common space, vacuum, mop, clean the toilet and tub) but I'm definitely not type A and understand if you have a super slammed weekend one week.

Bonus points if you are into cooking, yoga, meditation, art, education, and love plants!

We look forward to meeting you!
