Description

Dear Sabbatical Homes Community, My name is Luca Zipoli, and I am an Italian 31-years old Assistant Professor of Italian Studies at Bryn Mawr College (please have a look at my profile at this link: https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/people/luca-zipoli). I am currently the tenant of a one-bedroom apartment by Rittenhouse Square, which I will vacate temporarily for eight months from December 2024 through August 2025 because I will move to New York City in order to take advantage of a 1-semester fellowship that I won at Columbia University. I am posting this listing because I am wondering if anyone in this community might be interested in sublease my unit for the three upcoming summer months. The apartment is available from 23 December 2024 through 20 August 2025: the terms of start and end of the lease are flexible, and I am providing more information here below. The address is 1955 Locust Street (Locust at the corner of 20th street), the unit is #2F, and it is a 480 sq ft one-bedroom apartment facing Locust Street and located by Rittenhouse Square. The apartment is ready to use, since it was renovated recently and is fully furnished with modern furniture, which includes a queen-size bed with new mattress, a big closet, a dresser, and a 43’’ smart tv. The apartment also includes in-unit washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher, as well as all kitchen and cleaning equipment. The building is located in a strategic, quiet, safe area of Philadelphia, which is 10-minutes walk from Suburban and 30th Street Stations and is close to all the amenities of Philly’s downtown. The building also features a common deck on the fourth floor which is available with neither reservation nor charge to all the 9 units which compose the building. The rent is 1,800$/month to be paid every month to myself (the current tenant) in the form of a sublet. All utilities are included in the rent (electricity, water, heating/air conditioning, Wi-Fi), so no other extra costs will occur. A bi-weekly cleaning service can be negotiated within the lease. I am attaching a pdf with pictures of the building and of the apartment, and I am also happy to offer either in-person or virtual tours of the unit in the next few weeks. I am a clean, quiet, friendly, respectful, educated, and professional tenant, and it would be ideal if my replacement tenant would be like me. Unfortunately, smoking and pets are not allowed in the unit as per the policy established by the owner of the building. Please do not hesitate to let me know if anyone interested needs more information from me. My email address is lzipoli@brynmawr.edu. I thank you very much in advance for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Luca Zipoli _____________________________________ Luca Zipoli, Ph.D. (he · him · lui · tu) Assistant Professor Department of Transnational Italian Studies Bryn Mawr College · Old Library 106 Office +1 610 526 7959
