A little tight but doable. Take that loveseat out of the bedroom and make that area your workspace.
I would keep the sofa/loveseat - The NY Times photo of how the guy actually furnished it has a desk workspace that looks out the window. In his case I probably would not have put the coffee table in, especially one that big, and just kept it to the side table he has. These buildings usually have co-working spaces so even if he didn't have the desk, he has options.

price is insane for that tiny amount of space.
can only be for a single, and no real storage space.
not even a coat closet?
the WIC is really a pass thru so much storage space is wasted.
I couldn't do it, well, not now, at my age....i'm over that sort of stuff.
People, I want ya'll to dwell on this for a moment: 400 sq. feet is the equivalent of a 2-car garage. No working human being should pay to live in a space that small. Isn't the average size of a college dorm room about 250 sq. feet? I can't imagine paying 10s of thousands for a college degree only to be able to afford a space that is 150 sq ft larger than what I lived in when I was an unemployed college student.

The NY Times Real Estate section is basically a microcosm of the national Zillow/Redfin trend - a space that is bought and paid for by shills from the real estate industry.
While I agree with you regarding space, it isn't that much about the space here of this apartment, it is the price of it that throws everyone off balance.
Sure it is small, and yes, a single can live a happy and fulfilling life there, but if it was 500 dollars, then that would be the sacrifice one could make, but to pay, or want to pay, 3K for this, leaves me completely bewildered.
It isn't a terrible apartment, it is actually very nice and it can and I'm sure does fit the needs of some people, it is just that 3K, is insane, and I don't care what the neighborhood is.
Also, this isn't a "micro", it is just a regular small apartment.

I know a lot of people who live in highrises and pay rents around this range so for me it's not that big of deal. They want the amenities and the location. They aren't paying for just the space they live in.
You're going to find that as big cities continue to circle the drain toward their ultimate destination at the bottom of the sewer, the concept of the "fourthspace" will no longer be viable. Sure, you can deal with a tiny apartment if you're barely in it. But as public spaces become increasingly dangerous and unpleasant, eventually being ceded to the criminal/degenerate element, people will value personal space much more.
