We are a museum archivist (she/they) and special educator (he/him) who also moonlight as musicians. We enjoy experimental music, independent film screenings, techno/house dance parties, poetry readings, and generally staying out too late in bars. At home we like sleeping in with our cats, reading, listening to records, un-ironically watching the X-files, cooking, and drinking natural wine.
We will be traveling for the summer and would like to find someone who is responsible and quiet to look after our plants while we're away.
Please be prepared with a minimum of 2 references, refundable deposit, etc.
Utilities will be billed separately.
Please note that this sublet involves regularly watering the plants throughout the apartment.
No pets allowed.
