WANTED: ONE NEW NEIGHBOR
GWM, 33, lives in South Beach, is seeking a new neighbor to live in the studio apartment across the hall. The current resident, a very nice Italian man, is moving at the end of March.
The new resident must be reasonably quiet, must not blast any stereo equipment as the walls are somewhat thin, must not play the electric guitar/drums/any other instrument that makes noise or vibrates the walls--Miami Beach Code Enforcement will give you expensive tickets for being loud during the day--and absolutely cannot have a career in selling drugs or prostitution. No dogs, but cats are acceptable.
Apartment is an efficiency, with a main living/bedroom area, an additional area for a dining table, and a separate kitchen. Building is a post-Art Deco 2-story; apartment looks over neighbor's back yard, so there is lots of light and fresh air. Street parking is by permit only, which is good for the entire South Beach neighborhood (HUGE BONUS) and is decently available. Everyone in the building is pleasant, polite, friendly and neighborly. The old Jewish lady on the bottom floor is a bit nosy, but if you just keep walking she'll leave you alone, and she's pretty nice anyway. Plus, you will get to meet This Guy.
Apartment is walking distance to Ocean Drive and the beach, and is one block off Lincoln Road. Location, location, location.
Rent is in the $800 range, but you can probably talk that down a bit; other bills will include electricity ($50-75 per month) and cable TV, if you want it. If you're interested, please email me at danielrenzi (at) gmail.com, and I will put you in touch with the landlord. No freaky-deaky weirdo people, no grumps. Thanks.
God how tempting does that sound after a weekend of snow???

Sounds perfect, but my commute from Brooklyn is long enough as it is.

argh, if only I were still living in Miami! I'm looking for a studio in the price range, but in my current city doesn't look too promising :(

Does a job and relocation expenses come with it? If so, count me in.

Man,take that description, replace the Jewish lady with a little old italian lady, and that's exactly what i'm looking for in NYC! Except the old guy didn't move out, he died.

No prostitution or drug sales? Damn, I was thinking of taking up both of those time honored professions AND moving to Miami...oh well... ;-)

Everything sounded so perfect from your description- the price, the neighbors, and the parking. But the part about no crazy/freaky applicants, blew it for me. :( Dam I was so close.
