A note about the train:

About This Lister

I'm the current tenant (32F). I work remotely as an editor/writer and come into Manhattan once or twice a week for graduate school. I travel often for work -- it is not unusual for me to be away 1-2 weeks per month.

I'd prefer to live with someone quiet-ish, clean-ish, and creative-ish, which is more or less what I'm like. I host occasionally, but not most weeks. I keep the house clean (i.e. I'll leave books out but not dishes) and mutual respect is important to me. I'm a writer but don't treat the house as one big studio space or anything. I like my private space, my dog, plants, books, and art.

We would share a bathroom upstairs and the house's gravel parking driveway.
