Claudia's journey to find an apartment in Brooklyn highlights the struggles freelancers encounter in rental markets. After traveling to England and applying remotely, she faced multiple rejections due to biases against freelancers. Upon returning to New York, she intensified her search, eventually finding a 400-square-foot apartment with beautiful original features. Her determination led her to this coveted space, where she quickly made it her own with renovations. Claudia's experience underscores the importance of personal connection in securing rental opportunities.

After two-plus months of looking on Streeteasy every day, I finally found this apartment.
I feel like the months of getting denied by other apartments was all so I could find this place.
Landlords don't love freelancers, and I kept getting beat out by couples with two incomes.
