About the apartment: Big (800 square feet), fully furnished, sunny one-bedroom in Kensington, Brooklyn. The apartment has hardwood floors, a large sitting and eat-in dining room, large bedroom with two closets, small kitchen, and bathroom. Elevator building with package room and basement laundry.

Monthly rent is $2200/month, including all utilities (electricity and internet).

About the neighborhood: The apartment is in Kensington, right on the border with Ditmas Park. It's close to shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, and Citi Bike stations. About a 15-20 minute walk to Prospect Park. Near the Q at Cortelyou Road and F at Ditmas Avenue. A residential neighborhood that still has access to plenty of amenities!

The rest: This apartment is great for a responsible, quiet single person or couple. I am looking for someone who will respect the space and my neighbors, and do their best to keep my one snake plant alive. No smoking inside, no pets (this is non-negotiable, sorry!).

The move-in/out is somewhat flexible. I can make the apartment available a bit earlier in March, but I am seeking a move-in date no later than April 1. A three-month commitment (April, May, June) would be ideal. There is the potential for a longer stay, but I'll know a bit more by late April/May.

About This Lister

I am a journalist and I will be traveling quite a bit for work this spring. I have lived in this apartment for five years, and I'm looking for someone to enjoy and take care of the space while I'm away!
