ABOUT ME
I am a writer/filmmaker/artist who enjoys travel and dance. I run a local non-profit and work from home so i try to remain focused during much of the day.
I am looking to rent my guest room on a temporary basis to save money for upcoming trips in the later part of the year.
I have been living in the Dunbar Garden Apartments for 17 years now. I am happy here because the space is quite large and I love being in Manhattan versus an outer borough.
CAT
I am a cat lover and believe that the cat is the spirit of the home. Karl-Erik is a senior tabby. He takes medication for digestion issues. You do not need to engage with him, just learn how to respect each others' boundaries. You should be comfortable being a short term care taker if i am traveling.
