This is absolutely crazy! I have never seen such a messed up layout of an apartment in my life! On Yahoo News, I found an article about a 1 bedroom/1bathroom apt for rent currently at the lower market rent for the area at $1,795.00 per month; according to the realtor, market rent for that area for a 1bdrm/1bath apt is $2,800.00 per month. So this is a $1,000.00 cheaper. However, your shower, is located in the kitchen right next to the kitchen sink. I don't know how they can call this room a kitchen it's more like kitchenette. The "kitchen" is only about 5 feet against 2 very short walls. The hood over the stove is almost twice the size of the stove and there are maybe 2 upper cabinets and one lower cabinet which holds the sink, so you know there is almost no storage under there. and this is in a L shape. So imagine, that the I part of the L is going from left to right with _ part of the L on the right hand side. At the top of the L is the stove and hood, then there is 2 ft of empty space. Then there is a step back maybe 10" to 12" and there is the upper cabinets. Then jutting out from the step back on the right is single lower cabinet with the kitchen sink and flush up against that is the single shower stall with smoked glass for privacy. So you can put your grits on and step into the shower and by the time you are done showering, your grits should be done cooking and you are just 2 steps from the stove. hahahahaha Several years ago, b4 I moved to my current apt, I saw this tiny bungalow out in South Sacramento, that had a similar kitchenette except it was just 6 feet long and against 1 wall. The stove and the fridge were right next to each other and if you opened up the oven then you could not open up the fridge because the doors were too close to each other. And the whole place was a studio with a separate bathroom and maybe 400 sqr feet. You couldn't move the stove and you couldn't move the fridge because if you moved the fridge then you would take up valuable space in the living area. I didn't move there. Thank God! hahahaha But getting back to this NYC apt, they only show you the 1 pic of the kitchen, I bet the bedroom is tiny because the living room/kitchen is tiny. I wonder how people can afford to live in NYC with these types of rents? You have to be making like $6,000.00 a month just to afford this hovel! What if you wanted a 2 bedroom apt? Do they rent for like $10,000.00 a month? The only person that can afford that is a CEO of a major company! hahahaha No wonder rent control is so important in NYC!!!
I checked the website for this apt, it is on Misrahi Realty.com and the bedroom will only fit a bed, it doesn't state what size bed, but I am thinking it is a single not a double. there is a separate room for the toilet and bathroom sink. And there is a tiny hall that leads to the bedroom. The hall is bigger than the kitchen!!! I swear to God! I just want to tell the owner that I liked getting kissed b4 I get fucked! hahahaha The owner should remodel this apt and get rid of the hall and expand the bedroom and bathroom. Matter of fact, if he flipped the shower around to face into the hall, and moved the sink next to the stove and get rid of the step back. Maybe take that step back space and add it to the bedroom as a closet. Add a cabinet over the stove and the new placement of the sink and make sure the upper cabinets go all the way to the ceiling. That is just wasted space. I wonder if there are any closets in this hovel? hahahaha
