Yeah, I don't spend much time at home. Ultimately, it'd be me in the room with the two interior windows, my current roommate in the other room, and our other friend in the living room. The living room is much bigger than the other rooms and the kitchen is in a separate room all together of equal size on the other side of the place.
Also, $1350 is if a deal with the landlord holds true, which I don't really trust since there's been a few things like the doorbell which haven't been fixed since we moved in. Even then though, I rarely if ever have packages delivered to me much less have a need for it. It'd be $1450 for me and my current roommate if the deal falls through, which for that part of SoHo is still really good given the space and location to TriBeCa and the Hudson.
I think it's somewhat logical, though financially it'd make more sense to do a 3bd in Washington Heights, but that may be because I'm the only one who's really comfortable with uptown! I go everywhere from Coney Island to Jamaica to City Island to Jersey to hang out, so really I only care about the commute and cost. I think I'm getting a little wary from the aspect of having a roommate too though.

A friend had a 3 BR in Washington Heights with a dumbwaiter, old oak hardwood floors and crown moulding all over. Hallways and closets galore, eat in kitchen, dining room. I LOVED the place....rent stabilized yet. It easily fit him and two roomies.
But then he moved for LOVE to Riverdale...and gave up the apartment. I'd have killed for the place but I didn't figure that I could get in on the rent stabilization. Those big old 1920's-ish aopartments can be WONDERFUL.

That doesn't sound like a real true 2 bedroom. Sounds like a converted 1 bedroom that you have 3 people in.
Your roommate has a room
You have a room with fake windows and I assume a pressured wall (The converted room)
Friend has the other room
So where is the 2nd true bedroom?
Also it its really only a true 1 bedroom its prob more about 700-800 sq ft vs 1000.
If you're still willing to do the roommate thing, then why not find something in Hell's Kitchen/Chelsea? Less crowded than Soho, less potential sketchy-ness than Chinatown/LES, and the commute would be a snap.
Also, this may be coming out of left field, but something tells me you'd like Jackson Heights.
Go with the Bronx. I've frequented the vicinity of the Inwood spot and it's hardcore. Dudes drug dealing in your face all the time. gunshots at night, loud music, smell of weed etc
If you're willing to pass through 20 young men grilling you everyday as you make your way to your apartment then fine. But it's not for the week. Area has an entrenched drug culture. A lot of it resembles 90's gritty open air drug dealing NYC.
