FINALLY, your chance to share a studio with 5 guys in the East Village



A rental opportunity via Craigslist (apologies in advance for the ALL CAPS ... that's how Craigslist ran the ad...):

SHARE STUDIO APT WITH 5 OTHER GUYS WHO AREN'T IN THE APT MUCH FOR JUST $475 A MONTH PLUS A $475 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. I'LL PAY ALL UTILITY BILLS. THAT AMOUNTS TO SPENDING LESS THAN $16 A DAY TO LIVE IN MANHATTAN!

THIS IS A 1 ROOM UNPARTITIONED STUDIO APT THAT IS SORT OF SET UP DORMITORY STYLE WITH LOFT BEDS AND CURTAIN DIVIDERS.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WON'T BE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN THE APT AND WON'T BE BRINGING IN MUCH STUFF.

    This is how many of my friends lived in the 80's - and paid more as I recall. They had trundle beds, I think they're called. Its a great deal for someone on the go a lot and doesn't want to get laid.
