Finally!!! A Place to Call Home
This afternoon, I went saw another apartment to sublet. The place looked decent, and the roommate (Ericka) seemed normal enough, so I cut a check right then and there. I'm so happy that I no longer need to be pre-occupied with constantly searching craigslist and wasting so much time hiking around the city to check out apartments. Ericka is a puerto-rican nanny, with not-great English skills, so we won't exactly become buddy-buddy, but at least she isn't a burnt out loser like Frankie was. The commute is about 25-30min from my office, which is decent.
I was hoping to find somethign Lower (or Upper) East Side, but this is on 104th street - Spanish Harlem.
There are photos of the apartment at craigslist - http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/roo/218229529.html
What a relief to have this over with!
