Seeking long term (at least 1yr)  housemate for a bright airy room in a brownstone in Flatbush. The apartment is on the second floor of a 2-story brownstone.

The available room is very large, has high ceilings, a large closet, 3 windows It is 11 x approx 17 ft (including the side with the 3 bay windows). It’s on the street side of a fairly quiet street filled with brownstones. The person moving out has some furniture for sale, as she is moving back to the West Coast, but this could be unfurnished if you prefer.

Apartment highlights:
lots of natural light,
hardwood floors,
bathroom with skylight,
15 min walk to Prospect Park, 6 min walk to Newkirk subway stop on 2/5.
We are located on a garden-filled block voted “greenest block in Brooklyn.”
Landlady owns the building and lives downstairs with her family. Respect for her place and the long term residents of this primarily black-owned (yet gentrifying) block is a must.
One cat is welcome here, no dogs.

-committed to living responsibly, meaning bills always paid on time; clear respectful communication; following through on your share of cleaning as agreed
-used to living in NYC and gets the importance of having a peaceful clean home
-able to maintain uncluttered common areas, always cleans up after themselves in daily tasks
