Welcome to a soulful, thoughtfully lived-in 1-bedroom apartment in East Harlem, NYC. Perfect for someone looking for a cozy, stylish, and functional home base in the city.
This second-floor walk-up has everything you need:
• A comfy full-sized bed with blackout shades
• A sunny living room with two lounge-ready leather chairs and a big couch (plus a very good dog who is not included)
• Vintage rugs, framed art, and masculine/queer mid-century vibes throughout
• Smart lights and Google Home–connected speakers for voice-controlled ambiance
• A fully stocked kitchen with a bar-height table for meals or work
• Bathroom with plenty of storage and a bold orange shower curtain that brings the drama
• Ample closet space, lockers, clothes rack, and a pegboard for accessories
• Portable work-from-home setup (monitor, tray table, power access)
You’re a block from the 6 train, and buses stop right out front. Local grocery stores, cafes, and hidden gems (like that bodega sandwich shop downstairs 👀) are all within walking distance. Target and Whole Foods are just down the road.
Hi! I’m Tay. I’m a design director based in NYC, and I split my time between the city and the Catskills. I’m renting out my East Harlem apartment while I’m working remotely for a few months. I take a lot of pride in making this space feel good—comfortable, clean, and full of personality. I’m looking for someone who will appreciate and respect it like it’s their own.
Looking for a subletter who is:
• Respectful, responsible, quiet, and dependable
• Financially stable with a verifiable income or savings
• Willing to remove shoes indoors (NYC grime is real)
• No cigarette smoking, large parties, or unapproved pets
• Okay with watering a few low-maintenance plants once a week
• LGBTQ+ friendly and generally decent human preferred
Rental includes:
• All utilities and Wi-Fi
• Streaming access (but don’t rent Jaws 5 on my account unless you Venmo me)
• Fresh linens and towels
• A flexible move-in window and negotiable rent for the right fit
No pets by default, but I’m open to considering a well-behaved, small dog or cat for the right person. Please share details about your pet in your inquiry, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit.
