I don’t quite get how that gets called an “apartment”. It’s a single room with a sink.
Looks more like what would be called a [bedsit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedsit) in the UK – it’s a single room that on its own isn’t really habitable as it lacks the bathroom stuff.
I’d think of an apartment as being a self contained set of rooms (minimum one room + bathroom).
Just…why?
The Peter Parker special
Damn, you’re basically paying to live in a jail cell, and even they have a toilet.
Harry Potter lived under a stairwell and had it better than this.
but with that green screen you can make it look like you are beachside!
You’ll probably find some one renting a room for that price in queens with bathroom and kitchen access the room would be much bigger then what that is.
Do you have a chamber pot?
No window either?? Nope! My claustrophobia would be completely awful.
I’ve lived in nyc for 7 years, never paid over 1000, always with at least 1 Roomate. That being said you are being ripped off. 500 maybe, but this is a joke.
You could just move to Astoria like a normal person.
More like a compartment
I immediately thought of The Blues Brothers.
Just go to jail
I live in Harlem too, but pay $100 less than you for a room in a 4bed/2bath with a kitchen. So… Look around, because there’s way better in your back yard. Consider roommates if you can’t afford a studio.

Rip off, I live in NYC, if you are diligent you can find rent stabilized (preferential rent) apartments.
