Description

I'm looking to rent my beloved Philly apartment while I begin grad school in Massachusetts this summer. The apartment is technically a two-bedroom, but it's set up with one bedroom and my art studio. You're welcome to use this space to make (not super messy) art if you have a practice, but it would also function great as an office with a window-facing desk and plenty of storage. I also have a very nice air mattress, so works as a second bedroom for a guest, or, if you are two, we can talk about setting it up as an actual bedroom. There is a finished basement off of hallway which I haven't photographed because it will be full of my stored things. It does have a little couch and a couple bookshelves with some good titles if you want to use it as a reading space and a very nice large screen TV. I'm the only apartment with access to the backyard. It's a pretty basic city yard and I couldn't do any planting this year due to construction, but it has some very simple plastic furniture for outdoor dining or reading. Mentioned elsewhere, but happy to come down on rent if you promise to care for my plants - otherwise I'll be finding homes for them over the summer.

Utilities are not included

A cleaning service is not included

Comments: Happy to give a rundown of expected utilities cost if you're interested in space

Considerations

The home is not suitable for young kids

Ask about bringing pets

Ask about smoking in the home

A car is not available

Comments: I have a cat who I'll be taking with me, but you could bring yours if you like. A dog would be tricky - my landlord only allows very small dogs, so could work if that is your dog! No smoking inside but fine in the backyard.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with plants or garden

I have a bunch of plants which I love very much - nothing crazy in terms of care, but there are probably 20. I'm happy to talk and take down rent if you want to be responsible for them!

Comments: 1st floor apartment, so only stairs are up stoop and down to basements. I have an AC unit that I keep in the bedroom, and use ceiling and standing fans in rest of space when it's hot. Washer & dryer are in the basement shared with other tenants.
