ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

As we are located very close to Broadway, there are several restaurants, coffee-shops, supermarkets, and convenience stores nearby. Our building is located in a tree-lined residential street. Since most of the apartment windows face an internal garden, there is barely any street noise coming in. The building is a walk-up and you have to be comfortable climbing four flights.

If you are into sports or jogging, there is a planet fitness around the corner and Riverside Park is just a stone throw away (Olympic-size pool; skating ring; bike path; tennis and basketball courts; soccer field; running track and so on). The neighborhood is quite pleasant and lively.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS

I like to cultivate a clean, quiet and harmonious environment in the apartment--especially now that many of us have to work from home.

We mostly socialize outside, except for the occasional dinner with friends.

The space is queer friendly.

You will be sharing the common areas with me and two sweet cats. Unfortunately, we can't welcome more pets.

Last but not least: we do not wear outside shoes inside the apartment.

DATES

The move-in date is June 1st, 2026 but dates are slightly flexible.

Ideally, I am looking for someone that stays until the end of May 2027, but the agreement can be for longer if there is mutual agreement.

For the right fit, I am also open to a summer sublet.

RENT AND EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

The rent is 1400/month and utilities are split two ways at the end of each month.

If you are interested, please email me and make sure to share with me:

-Some basic details about yourself and your plans in the city
-How your schedule would look like in the coming months (including if you will work remotely or not)
-Income/funding situation
-Ideal move-in and move-out dates

I usually schedule a quick call with potential roommates and, if there is a good fit, then i proceed to schedule an in person meeting.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
