I got an apartment!
It’s in East Williamsburg. It’s pretty grungy in a somewhat grungy area but the rent is cheap.
The room is a tiny ‘loft’ room which is lovingly referred to as ‘the treehouse’… I can *just* stand up in it and my head touches the ceiling. It’s unfurnished and up a super steep ladder/stairs. Also: It’s on the fifth floor and there is only a freight elevator.
BUT: There is a laundry on the same floor. There are two guinea pigs and 5 other flatmates who do fun things like photography and music and stuff. It’s 15 minutes from the East Village and there is tonnes of neat stuff in the area. There is internet and cable and a huge living room (with a pool table even) and a massive wall of windows that looks out over Brooklyn.
And did I mention, it’s cheap. :) :) :)
Also, I just discovered it has it’s own wiki entry.
“The building has a reputation for hosting raucous all-night “loft parties.”“
OMG BISHOP ALLEN LIVE(D) THERE!
