Is This the Worst NYC Apartment Listing?

Housing costs in New York City are ridiculous, and there aren’t many places available. Those looking for a room or someone to split an apartment with might run into a Craigslist ad for a furnished room in the East Village for a mere $1325 a month. Does that sound good? The room is 6’ x 11’, which is tiny, but that’s not the worst part. It’s the three roommates.

"We all play in bands, love live music, and entertain guests on a regular basis along with the occasional open jam session at random hours of the night."

"If you are the type of person whose main source of entertainment is sitting at home, watching Netflix on your laptop, this apartment is definitely not for you.

"The neighborhood is loud, people in the building make a ton of noise, once in while, you may even want to pop in some ear-plugs... but we love it here!! There is a drum-kit in the common room along with guitars & amplifiers, where we jam out on a regular basis, create art, and engage in stimulating conversations with other tenants in the building. If this is something you would enjoy, please join us!"

The guy who placed the ad is named Haffro, and when he gets a response, he informs the potential tenant that the main rule in the apartment is that you can’t tell anyone to be quiet. Would you rent a room from this guy? Esquire talked to Haffro about his living arrangements, and the room that comes available quite often. -via Digg
