1 BR in 2 BR - Great Location Upper East Side 900

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/PMpaC)
I’m moving to Germany for grad school in August, so I’m looking for someone to take over my room from 8/1/09 for the remainder of the lease (which ends 10/31/09). If you like the place and you and my roommate get along well, you can choose to extend the lease, too.

My roommate, Jade, is 24 and moved to the city last summer. She went to USC for her undergrad and Georgetown for her master’s, and she works at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx doing HIV research. She is funny, friendly, intelligent, and respectful, so similar characteristics in a roommate would be ideal.

She’s looking for someone fun, sociable, responsible, and clean. Jade likes to go out on the weekends and have a good time, so she’d like a roommate who does the same but doesn’t go completely overboard. She’s clean and keeps the apartment in good shape, so someone responsible and cooperative with sharing chores would also be great. Females only please.
