So many hilarious things about this listing & building (222 Avenue B Street?). A two bedroom for 3700 with rooms so small they don't fit in the camera lens. You could fit at most one sofa and a flatscreen in the living room. Don't see any indication of closets and it says there's laundry in unit but I don't see it anywhere.
Two people with $1850 a month to spend could do so much better elsewhere.

As someone who used to live in the building pre-renovation, I can tell you it's a shithole. The structure itself is completely unstable and I'm surprised it hasn't imploded into itself. Plus right above the Luca Lounge you get 24-hour entertainment and music whether you like it or not—loud enough to vibrate your glasses in the kitchen!

I live a block or two down and the doors to nowhere crack me up every time. I'm HORRIFIED those are being advertised as balconies.

What a pile of characterless, banal crapholes. No thanks, I'll stick to my high-ceilinged, original-floored, tub-in-kitchen, unimproved rent-controlled slice of the EV...

BREAKING!! Look at the last interior shot in our post (the photo with the kitchen and door and next room in view). The listing in this post is for an apartment at 222 AVENUE B (13th & 14th), #4F.
Now look at this $1,750 studio listing in Chinatown from Citihabitats: http://www.citi-habitats.com/viewlisting.php?adID=453955
SAME PHOTO! Even the bathroom photos in both listings are exactly the same. Stock photos! Deception???

Fast-forward to Avenue B today... We've been watching the workers renovate 222 Avenue B for months now ... the building was sold back in 2008 for $2.4 million... Anyway, the new-look building is ready for move-in as of — today! ... two-bedroom apartments have hit the market, and we finally get to see what has been going on inside here...
These are gorgeous two bedrooms with exposed brick with a private roof deck & balcony, a granite kitchen that has stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), washer/dryer, and marble bath. Units have individual climate control, video intercom, storage lofts and more!
The price: $3,695.

Not a big fan of those doors to nowhere... is that really considered a balcony?
