Available for move-in May 1. Rent for the bedroom is $2050 per month ideally 1 month with option to renew afterwards for month-to-month or 3-6 months agreement. $125 monthly cleaning by longtime cleaning services and $175 for utilities. Some flexibility on rate for the right fit! The bedroom is about 10ft x 10ft, and furnished with a queen bed.
About the apartment: It is a 2 bedroom, one bath apartment with wood floors, tall ceilings, a large open kitchen/dining room area with stainless steel appliances, and large sunny living room with fabulous office nook (great for working from home!). It is often described as spacious and cozy, with the perk of decent storage space (hard to find in NYC!). It is the second floor, first unit of the building, which only has three units total. It is directly above a cooking herbs store. The window of the bedrooms open to the fire escape and rooftops of businesses below - a very NY little escape. I sometimes venture onto the rooftops for beers and conversations with friends, or just for sunlight. Franklin Park Beer Garden is behind us, so this apartment is not ideal for a light sleeper. The living room is setup to be a nice place to hang -- with a DVD player, smart TV, record player, and even a CD player. There is an office nook with printer and some spare office supplies. There is no washer/dryer but there is a 24hr laundry mat on the block. There is also no dishwasher so be prepared for hand-washing cleanup. The apartment does not have a microwave. The shower has excellent water pressure and hot water consistency. Overall it's a charming apartment with some standard quirks (like sometimes the toilet handle needs a wiggle). There are plants in the apartment that will appreciate some watering, so ideally the roommate appreciates plants! I have a dog who admittedly sheds, but is a sweetie. I have a great relationship with the landlord and super, both of whom are very responsible and communicative if anything arises.
The apartment is located in the neighborhood of Crown Heights. We are jump away from subway lines 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Franklin Avenue stop, as well a 10 minute walk to the A/C train at Franklin Avenue. In addition to being above a herbs & grocery store, we are also surrounded by all the essentials – burger joints, pizzerias, burrito places, wine shops, bodegas, markets, laundry mats, dry cleaning, bars, sushi places. Literally within only steps. We are also a short walk to the Brooklyn Museum, Library, Botanical Gardens, and Prospect Park. During COVID, many places have expanded their business to the streets so it's a nice lively block.
I am a mid-30s media/arts professional I'm a Southern-native who has been in the apartment for 13 years. I stay busy but also enjoy relaxing nights in because I do love the apartment, and might organize a dinner or two. Ideally someone social and chill, who of course likes doggos. :)
About the renter: Bonnie (hi, me!) is a filmmaker. I’ve lived in the apartment for 14 years. So it has a touch of my personality throughout. I am an Alabama-native, so I tend to be hospitable. The apartment is my oasis so a respectful and tidy subletter, who is a non-smoking inside (don't care what you do outside of the apartment!). My dog Hope is well-traveled and chill (not barky).
Roommate / subletter

Open to couples and even weekend kiddo visits - I know everyone has complex situations and my own work/life has had twists and turns especially in 2025. So please reach out if interested, no matter your situation! My apartment has been a peaceful place for people in life transition or long-term roommates or full subletters, so consider it a welcoming space. :)
Pets welcome as long they get along with my dog !
