Sublet in Private Room in Luxury Building in East Village/Gramercy!
TOP PRIORITY AS OF MAY 11th, 2024: NEW AVAILABILITY: LATE MAY-JUNE 19TH (OR AROUND THEN) ONLY.

• Please mention your timeline (or estimated)— as long as you know a rough start date, I’m not a landlord or real estate person, I’m just here to make back my rent so it really helps keep all the incoming messages from drilling a hole in my brain and lets me know you read this!

Renting my really nice, spacious, and sunny master bedroom with excellent sound insulation and tons of room and light that I’ve basically made into my own mini-studio (and also will be renting out the other bedroom in May, long term if I don’t end up taking it myself!). The room is my own personal baby and is FULLY furnished because it's my own personal master bedroom and I was using it for a really intense WFH job to practically live in it 24/7 when I first got this apartment. I'm subletting to help with rent while searching for a new FT job in NYC.

I've been in NYC over 10 years and in this apartment for 3 years and love it and really want to hold onto it so I'm extending my lease and subletting to help cover the rent.

Great for someone looking to move to the city for work, experience downtown Manhattan or be close to family and friends, someone who values quality sleep and a chill, well-furnished and peaceful room to call their own, or anyone trying out NYC for the first time in need of a safe, clean, cozy, and centrally-located launchpad to conduct a search for longer term housing from.
• No weird broker’s fees or extensive paperwork.
• Can accommodate couples (please let me know in advance if this is necessary though lol)
• Simple and straightforward month-to-month arrangement with a generally agreed upon timeline upfront :)
• $2850/mo rent, $95/night pro-rated
• Slightly less if you can stay for the whole time, or really close to it, which would be amazing.
• Slightly more plus a cleaning fee if the stay is super short term and especially it it spans a whole weekend, but not much more) which is pretty reasonable for what is basically a hotel quality room in an even more laid back and well-taken care of environment.
• Available Late May onwards on even a 2 night+ nightly basis, technically, although longer stays are highly preferred, it's totally not out of the question especially if you're looking to come through for a shorter stay.
• Rent is flat and includes all utilities & internet and we have full solar power on the roof of this luxury building so you can run the electricity which includes lights/AC/whatever you want 24/7 technically and it’s included in your rent :)

Availability during this gap period I need to fill:
• PLEASE READ: AS OF RIGHT NOW: Late May/June 1st (or close) - June 19th with a HARD end date Weds, June 19th. Flexible length available but ideally looking for at most one or two people to cover these 26-19 ish days I have available (but definitely need someone here by like June 1st at the latest, if at all possible! Perfect for a super short term NYC trial visit!

I'm actively searching for one person or a couple (or whatever your arrangement is, I don’t care, but like…a thing where it’s 2 or more people in the room, that’s cool too) to help me fill an unexpected gap between sublettors for an ultra short term super chill sublet in my Master Bedroom in the East Village from late May to JUNE 19TH, 2024 only! (It’ll be available again later towards the end of August but for now, like, this is much more urgent)

I have a new tenant coming in with a hard start date on June 19th and the current sublettor had to go to Colorado for work suddenly so the master bedroom is available again for a shorter term stay THIS MONTH AND ESPECIALLY FOR JUNE and I’m really looking to fill it quick with someone reliable who just needs it for 2-3 weeks or so but not a full month!

It’s to help fill the necessary gap between subletters and provide a really nice chill home away from home for someone looking for a short term stay in a high-quality fully furnished spot until by or before the 19th of June!

Note for everyone asking about longer term stays in the further on here: the Apartment WILL be available again late Aug/early Sept! But once the current roommates leave--for now I’ve had a bit of unexpected news with the current sublettor needing to leave early for work so I'm prioritizing getting someone in here ASAP for late may June 19th(ish) only :) If you reach out about later dates at the end of summer, let’s talk! Please just be mindful I won't be able to respond super urgently as of writing this, May 11th, 2024 : )


OLD AD FROM FB (to give a feel for the place, minus the logistics):
Hi all,
I am doing a little traveling and subletting this year due to job changes and some earlier medical bills that got a little crazy lol so we are looking for a chill, at least somewhat social, professionally responsible person (of literally any background, age, or gender/non-binary, all are super welcome) to sublet my huge, fully furnished private master bedroom in my shared apartment off 1st Ave in Gramercy/East Village with one other (M, really nice and chill, 26) roommate in an elevator building in Gramercy/East Village for a chill short term, nightly, or month-to-month sort of arrangement with very flexible move-in/move out terms:
By Manhattan or even most city standards, the master bedroom is no joke. Spacious, private, super clean, chill oasis in the East Village / Gramercy neighborhoods, right off 1st Ave in a super vibrant neighborhood (and because we’re right off the L train, all of Williamsburg and Bushwick is also mad close)!
Commute-wise, it’s amazing (L train 3 minute walk), busses (m23 and m15 right downstairs), one of the much nicer Citibike stations directly on outside our door, etc.
Master Bedroom:
16x12 true oversized, private bedroom, with great sunlight exposure from two windows on both sides (it’s a corner apt) overlooking a sprawling green courtyard. Luxury queen bed, FIOS 2G internet, climate controlled and well-no annoying or loud radiators), Article couch, 4K TV & piano in room, standing desk, etc.. Courtyard facing with blackout curtains and HEAVY WINDOWS means literally zero street noise. I’ve been in NYC for a while and had many apartments and I can’t begin to describe how nice this can be.
(We also live in a really well-insulated apartment so sound barely travels between the common areas and rooms, and our neighbors are all chill so it's especially wonderful at night, or anytime you just need some peace and quiet).
Beautiful modern kitchen (well supplied with a ton of cooking supplies and appliances and you’re more than welcome to use all of our stuff too). Shared 4K TV with pullout couch in living room.
Guests always welcome but you’d be expected to not completely take over the common areas at all hours as right now there’s a very chill shared space vibe going on :d

My roommate in the other room is in his mid-20s, super chill, and works in tech at a big firm and is pretty social but also likes to stay at home at night. He’s super tolerant of a variety of schedules as long as there’s no insane partying on weeknights and it’s not like loud loud late at night.

For two (M) roommates especially we are extremely clean and respectful of common areas and each other. Looking for someone who is not a "neat-freak" per se but just similar and generally responsible and good at picking up after themselves/respectful of common areas from day-to-day.

This apartment has access to everything from a centrally located spot and because the room itself is not street-facing at all and the heavy duty windows and double layer blackout curtains you’ll literally get some of the best nights rest you’ve ever had in NYC here.
END OLD AD FROM FB^^


FOR RIGHT NOW (Late May or June 1st - June 19TH):
• Short or long term available beginning Late May | 3 days minimum stay | Longer stays (1-2 weeks, or the whole thing preferred and could work out at a slightly better rate!)
• 5 days- 1 week is generally the shortest I can do, unless you want it just for a weekend and are okay with a cleaning fee, it’s just a lot of work for a 4 day stay or less since this is not a hotel and I’m just here to make back my rent literally.
• Can schedule video tours now, like as soon as this weekend or after thursday next week or if you want to connect off here I can send longer videos that were taken as of this week.
• If the post is up it’s still available (no generic “is this still available” DMs guys, please lol)
• ONCE AGAIN: Please mention your timeline (or estimated)— as long as you know a rough start date, I’m not a landlord or real estate person, I’m just here to make back my rent so it really helps keep all the incoming messages from drilling a hole in my brain and lets me know you read this!

Thanks so much, happy apartment hunting, and hope to be in touch!
FOR THE FUTURE, AFTER THE NEXT WAVE OF SUBLETTORS LEAVES (END OF AUG/EARLY SEPT):
For both rooms, either or: For the right person we can talk about a long term, like legit room signing for up to a year, starting in Aug 31st/Early September since my incoming sublettors and friends will be leaving then (in that scenario I might take back the smaller room, or larger room if my budget permits it, and then we’d just be roommates, which would be awesome lol)

For long term sublettors or anyone interested in the larger room, just know I’m open to short term stays of a few days or weeks starting in early September but am generally trying to prioritize someone who can come stay and wants to sign a longer lease, of at least a term length that will get me through the early spring up until April-May, rent-wise.

LARGE ROOM: The sublettor in the larger room is out in early September! His room (my master BR) will be available then. If you wanted to take the master bedroom but need to move in Aug 31/Sept 1st, let’s talk. If you're open to it I can set you up in the smaller room which becomes available a couple weeks earlier, then transition you to the larger room since both are fully furnished and both are really nice, but totally understand if that's too much.

For that room, I can do short term stays for the right fit but I’m prioritizing a longer stay, up to a full year lease (really just as long as you can stay through March or April, that would be ideal). If it’s a longer term thing, which I’m most certainly aiming for, I just want someone with good energy who is a good communicator, very easy to live, and has experience living with roommates and is not super controlling/type-A at home. IYKYK lol. Rent: $2850 for long term. Seasonal discount for long term stays during January to April only.

SMALL ROOM: *After August 31st* this bad boy (not really pictured here but really nice and also fully furnished) is ALSO available for rent, and this one I can either do short or long term depending on the roommate fit and how my own job situation is shaping up! It can be used for a week or two beginning August 31st as your transitionary room (while you’re waiting for the larger room when it becomes available a week or two later, in early September), or it can just be a straightforward sublet. Rent: $2200. Seasonal discount for long term stays, Jan-April only.

WHOLE PLACE - SHORT TERM (6 MONTHS MAX ONLY) (DISREGARD FOR NOW): someone is interested in taking over the whole two bedroom from mid-September onwards (whole place to yourself) feel free to reach out-- I’m not prioritizing this now because it’s a larger undertaking and would require a different rent and payment timetable due to security and other factors but something I’d happy to speak about with the right person or group!

Additional fee

For long term occupants (2+ mo) there is a one time $125 fee for your own building card.
All utilities included in rent.
No security or weird brokers fees
Please be ready to present some kind of proof that you can pay, in one way or another , I'm really not too pciky here.

Other info

Yes, for short term stays or all stays for the next 6-9 months, the master bedroom, and the middle bedroom, if that option is invoked are both fully furnished but if you want to help cover the costs and effort to sell the nice furnishings I have here, you can, up to you!
For Spring rentals the rooms are completely furnished and can remain so for longer term.

Rent is stabilized but will likely go up $150-200 tops in June which would be split evenly among rooms.

Pets under 30lbs allowed, including service dogs, but must be well trained.
We also love cats :)
