How was it? Adequate? A nightmare? It's practically the only cheap option left if you want to live in central Manhattan.
I've often wondered about how people work out the logistics of what must surely be a nightmarish and uncomfortable scenario.
Although I am averse to such an arrangement, somehow the prospect of ending up in a Central Manhattan location under such circumstances with a total stranger is not at all intimidating if my shared-bath companion happens to be a Victoria's Secret model.
Wow...that's really a bad deal on an apartment. I don't even know how people do that with a hostel or hotel, but on a daily basis. Can't they retrofit the half bath in unit (assuming it has this) with a movable shower head like you would find on a smaller yacht with a drain in the floor? I can understand your own bath accommodations that are separated with a key that only you hold, like the old SRO type places. But a shared studio bath, that's intimate, unless you know the person very very well.
You better like your roommate a whole, whole lot. Why would anyone want to live in a closet in Manhattan? Brooklyn is a short subway ride away. Queens is not much further.

I do agree wholeheartedly.
(Of course if the model were to extort a shared bath situation and force that upon me, I might just have to waive my rights to privacy and endure some hardship - gentleman as I am.)
But, yeah, your point is well taken, bmw. I guess the market is indeed pretty tough.
I guess it's really not that different in principle from living with roommates from Craigslist, right? Though I have a sense, justified or not, that the occupants of SRO-type buildings might tend a bit more toward the unsavory.
