A few of those, for the prices that they are, would be great with the current furnishings removed / decent furnishings brought in. There is a time in my life where I would have jumped through hoops to rent some of those.
For example that 300/mo "Breakfast Nook" one looks like it would be perfectly fine with the other person's shit removed.
(I am not a resident of NYC)
- jumby 14y agoYou mean, like the stove, refrigerator and assorted kitchen shit?
- jlgreco 14y agoNah, just the bed and the trash (well, trash/assorted kitchen shit, or whatever it is). You might get extra space by swapping the fridge with a mini-fridge but I honestly wouldn't bother.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoAs IvyMike pointed out, that is absolutely not a full apartment - that kitchen is going to be used by the other residents, of which there are almost certainly two at the absolute minimum.
- jlgreco 14y agoYes, on closer inspection I agree.
- guylhem 14y agoSpot on. It also caught me eye as a great deal - the space is badly used by the current resident, but even if the stuff couldn't be removed, $300 for a clean place with a window and a bed in Manhattan certainly is a great deal. Just make sure to read about the history of the place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Heights,_Manhattan#1980s_Crime_epidemic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Heights,_Manhattan#1...
- notahacker 14y agoI'd actually see the Breakfast Nook as good value for money, unless there's something particularly awful about the district. Or somebody else uses the kitchen...
- IvyMike 14y agoI'm fairly certain the "Breakfast Nook" is renting JUST the nook at the very end, and the kitchen is a shared space.
- jlgreco 14y agoHmm, yes. For that price, that would make much more sense. Even so, it could be fine with the right roommates (is that mess made by the previous tenant, or the person/people that would still be living there?). If the kitchen is a shared space that price could actually be fantastic if there is further shared space that isn't pictured (though I doubt there is).
