New York Room For Rent - 2 Bedroom apartment for a roommate in Park Slope (NY-6359)

Enjoy living like a real Brooklyner in this bed and breakfast rental in Park Slope. The accommodation is in a two-bedroom duplex apartment occupying the first and second floors of a 4-level walk-up townhouse with a shared backyard. The townhouse, dating from the early 20th century, is a historic landmark building, maintained by an artist and in ongoing need of restoration; the part of the house that is rented is comfortable and has charm with high ceilings and antique mouldings, and is found less than half a block from Prospect Park!

This spacious (1000 SQF) duplex apartment has an entire floor for communal living and it is only when you reach the second floor that you can access the bedroom, giving you enough privacy and your own space. The available bedroom is on the 2nd level, with a window facing east towards the building's private backyard garden, away from the street. The room is comfortably furnished with all you need for relaxing, including a refrigerator. Many artistic ornaments compliment the classic interior, which includes a gorgeous decorative fireplace.

Down the hall is the shared bathroom, and downstairs you can watch TV in the living room or enjoy a meal in the dining room. From here you can access the outdoor terrace and garden, green and verdant in the summer.

Please Note: There is a cat in this apartment, cared for by the owner.

The owner, who occupies the second bedroom, is more than happy to provide you with maps, neighborhood tips or recommandations to facilitate your integration into the New York City experience.
