Description

Hi! I'm looking to sublet or exchange my apartment in Upper Manhattan (Inwood) for the winter. I work at Columbia University and commute almost daily using the 1 and the A trains (25 min on the 1, 30 min on the A to 1), both of which are very close to my place. The express A will also get you to Columbus Circle in no time. The apartment gets really beautiful light (facing the street). It's fully furnished, with a full-size bed, vanity, and rowing machine in the bedroom; fully equipped kitchen with oven and programmable coffee maker; a workspace (desk) in the living room; record player with good sound system; and high speed Internet. The neighborhood is convenient and very vibrant, there's activity around the clock (which makes it safe), but you can also take a peaceful walk in Fort Tryon Park (and make it up to the Met Cloisters) or go as far as Inwood Hill Park. Great laundromat with drop-off service a block away. Nearby you will find cafés and restaurants, banks, NY Public Library branch, convenience stores, pharmacies, beauty salons, etc. If possible, I'm interested in exchanging with someone based in Spain, where I need to travel for the holidays. I'm open to neighboring countries as well.
