A cozy, quiet and bright bedroom to sublease for a April 1 move in; the current occupant is leaving the city, and while this is a sad development, it's also an opportunity for someone new to enjoy the space! I would describe the culture of the apartment as calm, chill, and zen with a emphasis on cleanliness, low noise, and mutual respect. This is a 3 bedroom apartment, with two other housemates. I, Melvin, am 45, full time retail director for a luxury beauty flagship in SoHo, and Leila, 30, is a professor of political science at Cooper Union and also has additional teaching duties with Cornell University in Ithaca. We're both super quiet when at home, usually with our headphones on, me catching up on a book of my favorite tv series, and Leila spends a lot of time reading and writing to prepare for her teaching duties, which is why we prefer someone who lives similarly in terms of noise, habits, and not a lot of guests over.

You:

*Ideal candidate is someone 30 and older.

*Someone who values a quiet and very chill living environment and authentically lives that way.

*Someone who doesn’t have frequent guests; this is a quiet refuge from the noisy chaotic city and ideal candidate would be someone who appreciates such an environment.

*Not a requirement, but ideally someone who’s more of an introvert

*Being very clean and tidy is a natural way of living for you, and not a “chore” that you have to do. That applies to your personal space as well as the common areas.

APARTMENT:

-Completely gut renovated floor through 3 bedroom apartment on second floor of a two family rowhouse.

-Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, with large windows in living area that provide lots of beautiful natural light.

About This Lister

About me:

-Melvin (me) 45, director of luxury beauty retail, I'm very chill and more of an introvert and tend to keep to myself reading my kindle, meditating/yoga or watching tv. Pretty much unplugged. I like home to be a peaceful refuge where we can unwind and relax, listen to a podcast or read, and looking for a like minded candidate. I'm very clean, can’t stress that enough, and looking for people who live similarly and to whom being clean and tidy is not really a chore but more a way of life. Ideal candidate would share sense of keeping foot traffic in apt quiet, and values a peaceful quiet home.

I look forward to meeting ☺️
