About the room
15 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN
Hello, My name is Sean, I’m renting the 2nd bedroom in my 2.5 bedroom apt. I am the only roommate. Honestly, just looking for someone looking for a bed to lie their head on at night, and out the rest of the time on their hustle and grind working towards their goals.

About the roomies
ABOUT MYSELF: I am a super clean and orderly male, quiet and tidy, working towards being a full-blown minimalist. Keeping the apartment a quiet, calm solace is a necessity and priority for me. I am conscientious of how sound travels, so when in the public area I am considerate of that for my roommate.
I cook most of the meals I eat, I’m pretty quick (in and out) and keep the kitchen in tip top sanitary state, no standing grime or splattered food in sink or elsewhere, I wipe down surfaces as I go.
I keep both top and base toilet seats down, wipe the rim, and keep the toilet and bathroom in general clean. I don’t have toothpaste on the mirror from brushing, conscious about shaving, I wipe wet surfaces dry with a community hanging rag that’s kept for that very purpose. I empty my dishes from the dish drain as soon as they have dried. And appreciate the same courtesies in return.
I am social in the apt, but not overly social. I understand we both have our private lives, and busy itineraries. So, I’m often a drive-by hello guy
