THE NEIGHBORHOOD
An epicenter of culture, PLG is home to tons of great bars, restaurants, coffee shops, retail. Grocery store across street; two other supermarkets very close. Three laundromats within two blocks. Q/B trains short walk away. B41 bus right outside our door. Prospect Park itself is mere steps from the subway station – hiking, running, biking, relaxing, bird-watching are just a few of the many activities offered by this iconic and incomparable green space.
HOUSE RULES
At this apartment, we go by strict “camping rules” – leave it better than you found it. Dishes are washed immediately. Messes are cleaned up promptly. The drain catch is dealt with directly after showering. The pictures here are what we expect the apartment to always look like. There’s no “leaving it until later” at our place – applicants with filthy/noisy habits are encouraged to look elsewhere for lodging.
This apartment is very much a sanctuary. Since the outside city is chaotic and unpredictable, we cherish having a place to detach from the bustling crowds. Business/socializing is expected to take place outside the apartment, since there are literally thousands of spots in the city to meet up with friends/colleagues.
We also avoid harsh smells (no febreze / air fresheners / smoking / incense / artificial chemical cleaners / strong perfume or stinky deodorant). No pirating over Wi-Fi. No mail sent to the household. Amazon items must be delivered to the many nearby lockers. No other overnight guests allowed – a rule we also follow. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bedding) or rent ours for $40.
We are a couple who both work in the performing arts – one actress, one playwright.
Since we are both half-citizens of other countries (England & China) we seem get along with other individuals who straddle more than one nationality. This is, by no means, a requirement – the ideal lodger will be anyone with an urbane and worldly outlook on life.
We enjoy talking about movies, plays, art, books, the city – but also love *not* conversing when we are working from home, and will absolutely respect your own need for silence and seclusion.
We live with a very coy but gorgeous tortoiseshell cat, who ultimately decides who should stay in our flat. (She's an amazing judge of character!) Needless to say, you must enjoy felines.
