**No pets/care animals (sorry, allergic). One person preferred. Please read through thoroughly before reaching out **

Looking for the perfect Williamsburg spot that's NOT a new soulless condo and NOT a dingy railroad apt? Then sublet my one-bedroom garden apartment in the heart of Williamsburg with original hardwood floors, exposed brick, high tin ceilings. Conveniently located right on top of the Lorimer L and G train. Cozy. Tidy. Books. Recent subtenant just said it was their favorite apartment in 10 yrs in NYC, it is a lil gem ;)

Availability

Mon March 30-April 30/May 1, 2026

I am looking either for someone for month of April or possibly shorter stays.

The Space

This is a ground floor apartment. There are 4 steps to get into the building. There is a bedroom with a full queen bed (Yoga Bed memory foam mattress) and large dresser, the large living room has a wooden futon (that doesn’t look like one), coffee table and two desks, a full kitchen, a small foyer, and an old-fashioned bathroom with tub.

While it is on the first/ground floor, it is very quiet for the location as it is set in the back and looks onto a private patio (sorry, you will not have access to the garden). Please note there is a building under construction down the block, so you will get some daytime noise. I work at home and just use sound isolating headphones and its fine!

Kitchen has all the basics for you to prepare meals. Cotton towels and sheets provided, or you can bring your own bedding.

Utilities

Heat is included. High speed Wifi, electricity, and cooking gas are not included.

The Neighborhood
There's a zillion restaurants and bars tight out your dooestep. The locale offers conveniences like Whole Foods, Trader Joes etc 7 min walk to Bedford area, but there's a gourmet grocery right on the same block. 5ish block walk to McCarren park

Getting Around

You can take the L or G train right at the apartment, 8 minutes to Union Sq on L. The JMZ is a short walk. If you're up for a longer walk (and fresh air these days) the Williamsburg bridge is close. Also, there is street parking if you're driving.

Use
I’d prefer it be rented by one person. Absolutely no parties. You’d either need to clean it back to condition you found it (I provide a checklist) or pay for a cleaner (I have a rec)

I live in a shoes off home and prefer if you did too (NYC is amazing but filthy!). I also have an allergy to perfume so no air fresheners/glade plugins or heavy perfume use

Maintenance

I am available in case of emergencies. Super lives next door.

Application process
If you are interested write me with a little about yourself + the following info. I understand searching for an apartment in NYC is intense, but do get lots of inquiries so will only reply to people who share this info!

I will share a video walkthrough with people that best fit needs. Then, if you like the place, can arrange a meeting and then tour to see if you are a good fit

Unless we have friends in common, I will need to check a personal reference (like someone you rented from or a co-worker I can call to verify your character and income).

If you are selected after I speak to your reference, I will ask for a deposit via Zelle or Venmo to hold the sublet which will be returned to you right after the sublet is over and condition of the apt is confirmed.

**Please share the following.***

-Please share about yourself and some URLs to show me who you are online! I am not on socials (including Linkedin), so other web links are ideal

-What your ideal timeframe is and how flexible you are with it.

-If and how long you've lived in NYC. Why are you looking now? Confirm whether it is just you looking or not. Or are you visiting?

-This is furnished, so please confirm you understand that.

-Please share what you are like as a person/need from a living environment. Any particular needs?

Thank you!

About This Lister

I'm an art curator/educator based in NYC and have lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for 26 yrs in this apt. I sublet when I frequently travel for work/art projects. I am clean and domestic--many have remarked that my place feels surprisingly like a home, which can be a rarity in the city.
