Furnished all inclusive rooms available now
Authentic Brooklyn Living
A two-family wood-and-brick on a quiet block off Church Ave. Front yard, back garden, a porch built for stoop-sitting.
About us
Flatbush Cottage is the parlor-floor apartment of a two-family house in the middle of Brooklyn — the real middle, not the one on tote bags. Three bedrooms, one very good kitchen, a bathroom with a tub, a basement room with the washer/dryer, and a garden out back that mostly behaves.
You rent one bedroom. Heat, electric and internet are included, so no utility math at the end of the month. You share the common areas and the bathroom with one or two roommates — one of whom has lived here since 2013 and knows which floorboard creaks.
Interior style: mid-century bones, cottage habits. Plants in every window, a rug that has seen things, a coffee maker that works before you do.
The Rooms
Named after the streets that raised them. Each comes furnished — bed, nightstand, lamp, closet, rug.
The bright one. Two windows over the side yard, blackout curtains for the days you've earned a lie-in, and a nightstand that has held a lot of half-read books.
The first room, and the most organised of the three: a double closet, a mirror you can actually see your shoes in. Also comes with a rug on hardwood floors.
The biggest of the three and the quietest — it sits at the back, facing the garden, away from the street. Its portrait is still at the framer's; ask and we'll send real photos.
Shared with you
Kitchen (gas stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge with ice maker), living room, bathroom with tub.
Downstairs
A basement room with the washer/dryer — no laundromat quarters, no waiting on a machine.
Outside
Front yard for the hibiscus, back garden for the tomatoes and the folding chairs.

The Neighborhood
Flatbush sits in the heart of Brooklyn, which is a nice way of saying you can get anywhere and nobody has to pick you up. The 2 and 5 are a four-minute walk at Church Avenue.
Right off the Church Ave / Nostrand strip: groceries, a hardware shop that has the odd screw, a Walgreens, coffee, and roughly forty ways to eat dinner — Caribbean, West African, Bangladeshi, and a pizza place that does not need to try.

One furnished bedroom in Apartment 1. Heat, electric and internet are included in the rent. The kitchen, living room and bathroom are shared with one or two roommates.
$1,350 per month for shorter stays, $1,250 per month if you commit to six months or more. That's everything — no utility surprises, no internet line item, no 'amenity fee'.
One month's deposit, returned when you leave the room the way you found it. Month-to-month or a fixed term, whichever suits — we've done both. Companies can have a proper contract and an invoice.
In the basement, in a room that belongs to the apartment. Washer and dryer, no quarters, no queue, no walk down Church Ave with a bag.
One permanent tenant who has been here since 2013 and one other room that turns over. Quiet, employed, house-trained. We introduce everyone before anyone signs anything.
Guests: yes, within reason. Pets: talk to us, it depends on the animal and the roommates. Parties: this is a house with neighbors and a porch — a dinner, gladly; a rave, no.
Yes. We invoice in the US and in the EU, where the VAT is deductible. Send us your billing details and we'll match your finance team's format.
