Small, perfectly located one-bedroom in Ridgewood, Queens, 4-5 minutes away from the Fresh Pond stop on the M train, easy trip and connections to almost any point in Manhattan. Tons of cafes, restaurants, bars, music venues, small shops, thrift stores, grocery stores nearby, and much more in this vibrant neighborhood.
You will have a small, independent apartment in a well-maintained, secure, and quiet building. The apartment is on the second floor in the back, with one flight of stairs, so it's as quiet as it can get in NYC. The living room/kitchen are combined in one space; there is a small bedroom with a full-size bed. The A/C unit works great for the summer months.
I'm looking for someone who will take care of the space while I'm gone and will appreciate being part of a multicultural community, with a diversity of languages and cultures. The place is best suited for one person -- a considerate, responsible, and quiet person, who will appreciate the opportunity to experience Ridgewood. A few plants will need some water 1-2 times a week.
I am a researcher and professor in the fields of culture and the arts. I teach at a college in NYC and I am traveling for the period.
I am flexible on the dates as long as they are somewhat close to the period I'll be gone. We can prorate the amount for the months.
I will reply as soon as possible, but most likely on Friday. I am happy to show you the place online or in person on Saturday or Sunday.
Rent: $2,000, including all utilities: internet, electricity, heat, water, garbage.
Deposit: $700. I will return promptly once the place is returned in the same condition it was received.
I may ask you for a reference and proof of income.
