Winter break subletting opportunity in the Ville

Room available for subletting 12/18-1/20 (or any shorter period within that time) in an apartment above the Hobbs coffee shop (3 Park Avenue Apt #5). Cheap rent and utilities. Spacious kitchen with great appliances. Bedroom is extremely spacious (largest in the apartment) and has lots of amenities, including TV, couches, and queen-size bed. You will also have the very small additional responsibility of feeding a cute beta fish 🙂 Please call/text/email for pricing, photos, etc.

Extra perk: You will very likely have the entire apartment to yourself, as only one resident is choosing to sublet a room during break and all residents will be out of town. However, you will only be paying rent for 1 room and 1/4 of utility/Internet bills. Other 3 rooms are all off-limits. Otherwise, full access to kitchen and living/dining room.
