I'm looking for a roommate in Brooklyn starting as early as August 1st. Tell all your friends! Tell the whole bunch! Details below the fold.
The apartment: A three bedroom duplex with two living rooms, located on the F line (Fort Hamilton Parkway stop), about a minute walk from the subway station. Quiet, safe neighborhood, close to two laundry mats, a grocery story, etc. etc. 3 minute walk to Prospect Park. It takes about a half hour to get into town by subway.
The room: The room is on the second floor of the duplex (fourth floor of the house). It's a bit dark (though it has a window), and is not the largest room around. But it's certainly livable.
The price: $525 plus utilities. (And each member of the house chips in $15/month for basic amenities like toilet paper, dish soap, cleaning stuff, etc. etc. etc.)
Roommates: My wife (a jazz singer and music teacher) lives there full time, as does Vincent (a jazz drummer). I am a graduate student in upstate New York and spend about half my time away from the city. So you would really have two and a half roommates. It is actually a pretty quiet house, and both musicians are sensitive about disturbing others with noise. We're pleasant people, too. Oh yes, we have a beagle, who is adorable, but also a bit thieving, so food must be guarded very carefully.
Duration: We've signed a lease until the end of August, 2005, but we've told the landlord that we would actually prefer to move out at the end of May, 2005. Obviously, the views of all roommates would be relevant to this decision.
Available: As early as August 1st.
What we're looking for: A quiet, responsible, mature person who isn't a complete slob. We would strongly prefer a woman, if only so that my wife isn't stuck dealing with three men.
If you have any questions, by all means email me!
