Esthela O - $1,400/month

Hi my name is Esthela! Here's a little about me/interests:

* I’m a 25 year old working remotely as a Graphic Designer. I don’t have many meetings throughout the week (just 2 standing meetings so it’s a quiet work environment on my end).
* I'm Latina born/raised in the Bronx. I’m more of an introvert but sometimes extroverted lol I like to work out 5x a week before work and generally keep a healthy lifestyle. I drink socially occasionally when going out here and there but also a homebody. I’m a foodie when I’m not cooking at home. Super into skincare, beauty, and I’m a plant mom. I also love to travel!
* The only guest I may have over once in a while on the weekends is my boyfriend but I would let you know ahead of time. I’m a clean, organized, tidy, responsible person that is mindful of other’s space (I dormed in college). I'm an early riser and don't bring the party home. I don't smoke so I would prefer someone who may be similar.

What I'm looking for:
* Budget: maximum of $1200/month on rent + utilities
* Washer/dryer in unit or in building, and nearby gym
* Female roommates similar in age (21 - 30)
* Respectful and tidy roommate - would like to have a rotating cleaning schedule, keep outside shoes at entrance, open to discussing costs, & responsible with paying on time (okay with a flexible cleaning schedule, everyones schedules are different so I totes get it)
* Calm apt environment and okay with friends/guests coming over just give me a heads up :)
* Communication if there's an issue - i don't want resentments lol
* I prefer to use a budgeting/splitting bills app like Splitwise to keep track of bills or google sheet to keep track of things so we're organized and there's no confusion of who owes what.
* No pets as I’m allergic.
* Preferably no smoking

If you're interested in being roommates:
I’m looking for 1 roommate for a end of March/early April move in. I’m looking at 2 br/2 ba or 2 br/ 1 ba with w/d
* Manhattan - Harlem, UES, FIDI, LES, (open to all areas)
* Brooklyn - Bushwick, Flat Bush, BedStuy, Cypress Hills (open to areas less than hour into Manhattan)
* Bronx - Mott Haven (just past Yankee Stadium), Port Morris ((just past Yankee Stadium)
* 1 yr lease (long term) - 1 roommate
* Flexible for April 2024 if needed for the right place
I am also open to buildings in other locations in Manhattan/not far in Brooklyn as long as they have a washer/dryer, and dishwasher included in the unit.

Deal breakers:
* No pets as I’m allergic sorry! Preferably no smoking but I'm 420 friendly if not in the common areas
* Untidy roommates, don't clean up after themselves

Habits/General Lifestyle Schedule:
- Wake up Mon - Fri 6 am - 6:20 am to make a protein shake (I use the blender for 30 secs in the morning) and head to the gym, shower between 9 - 9:30 am
- Work at home in my room from 9 - 5:30 pm, I may step out here and there for snacks, lunch, etc
- Cook dinner between 5:30 - 6:30 pm if I'm not eating left overs
- Weekends: wake up around 7 am - 9 am and make a protein shake (again using blender in the morning), maybe head to the gym if i missed a session during the week
- I usually see my boyfriend Saturday in the afternoon, he may sleep over max 1 - 2 times a month on a Friday or Friday/Saturday don't see it happening or I may go visit him for the afternoon/evening

Pet peeves:
- walking inside apartment with outside shoes
- Leaving microwave, counters or stove dirty(prefer to clean/spot clean after use if there's a mess)
- Things that are dropped on the floor and not picked up (prefer to pick up)
- personal belongings left out on counters (prefer to put things away after using)
- dishes in sink overnight (I don't want roaches, bugs, or mice so prefer to clean same day but understand if you need to soak a pot overnight for stubborn greasy stuff)
- if we have a shared bathroom - prefer loose hair cleaned up after showers, toothpaste, wet bathroom counter cleaned up

I have a good credit score & able to meet 40x rent rule if rent + utilities are no more than $1200/month. If you’re interested in looking for a place together or already have a place in mind, I’m down to face time to see if we're a good fit!
