Hey, Sloane here! I'm looking for a long-term place in Brooklyn. I’m moving from Columbus, Ohio where I’ve been working in the service industry as a bartender at a distillery. I also own my own business, writing grants for local artists and small businesses.

I lived in NYC from 2015-2020 as a public school teacher in Brooklyn. My current job in service suits me better, but my paystubs and W-2s don’t show my full income, so it can be tricky to get approved for a lease. I plan to come back to NYC to mix culinary arts and education—starting in service again, with hopes of eventually working in youth food education.

I have support from family, some savings, and income to cover rent. I need a small apartment for myself and my dog, a Mini Australian Shepherd named Lily. She’s well-behaved, kenneled when I’m out, and overall a great companion. I’m looking for a small, unfurnished or semi-furnished place with a budget of around $2,100 a month before utilities. I’m looking for a manageable space that fits my needs and lifestyle, nothing fancy.

PLUSES: outdoor space, washer/dryer, <10 min walk to the train, proximity to grocery stores, ground/first floor.

Looking for subleases 6 months or more, a year would be a dream.

Please reach out if you have a space that might fit!
