Large studio in beautiful building, steps from Columbia, Seminary Row, Manhattan School of Music, and Sakura Park. I get compliments whenever friends visit. The unit is in the back, so very quiet (no train noise). Second floor. Large bathroom, separate raised dining area. Three closets! Dishwasher.

Building: Laundry in basement. Elevator. Friendly super lives in the building. Pets allowed. Other tenants seem to be mostly professionals and academics.

Rent is $2150 (includes heat and hot water), 12-month lease starting June 1. NO FEE. *If things go smoothly with paperwork, etc., we could try to arrange for you to move in a week or so earlier than June 1 (at no extra charge, free rent).

Regarding furniture, your choice - furnished or unfurnished. I would be happy to sell you my furniture (8-month-old, modern) for a very good price, to save myself the hassle of selling it piece-by-piece.
