Mario L - $1,600/month

Italian PhD student in Economics, currently living and working in Paris. I will be in NYC for 4 months as a visiting scholar at NYU and I am looking for an accommodation possibly not too far from the campus or around Park Slope area in Brooklyn.
My big passion is food, and I am a rather good cook. I enjoy sharing a meal with a roommate. On a lazy evening, I am a binge consumer of Netflix and my guilty pleasure is RuPaul.
Being gay, I appreciate a diverse and open-minded environment. I get on very well with girls in particular, but also with guys (I come from Italy, I had to learn some basics about soccer there, but I am not really good at sports).
I have a good scholarship that can allow me to pay around 6000 tops for the 4 months on Sep 1, if needed.
