Hey all,

I have a room to rent in a 2BR apartment in New York City at 2 Gold Street (one of the finest buildings in town with excellent amenities). It is in the financial district, close to all subway lines (4/5, 2/3, ACE, NR, JZ) and all the institutions downtown.

Rent is 1550, utilities (electricity, cable, internet) ~80, start date would be August 1st (a little earlier or later can be cool too). Apartment is on very high floor, room is the master bedroom with thicker walls, big closet and window with crazy view of Manhattan. Building has 24h gym, 24h doorman, pool, rooftop terrace, solarium, in-building valet services for laundry and dry cleaning, lounge rooms with big-screen tvs and pool tables.

All of the living room furniture is already there (sofa-bed for potential guests, coffee table, stools, TV, PS3, DVD/bluray, cable, internet/modem/router) and the kitchen includes stove, fridge and dishwasher.

I work as a FT IB analyst finishing his first year.
