These listings have become a parody of themselves, cut and paste nonsense the worst line being "Designed to perfection with a bohemian twist".
Wow I almost want to live there again (NOT!)
Think what an awesome frat house this would make! Laundry on the premises!
Have you met any real estate agents? My neighbor is one, and beleive me they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They are modern age snake oil salesmen. They just string a bunch of nice sounding words together to make something sound good to get you to pay through the nose, but their words make almost no sense and bear little resemblance to reality. For instance, what does "quintessential East Village duplex" even mean? What does a quintessential East Village duplex look like anyway? Does that place look like a typical East Village duplex? Or even the best? I've seen a few places that put that to shame. And what about the "garden oasis"? Is there a watering hole out there, and are the camels included, or are they extra? This reads like a Mad Lib of real estate hypedom, humor without a punchline.
Can someone please point out the "bohemian twist" elements to me? Is it the "private garden oasis"? (What, for growing their own marijuana?) The chef's kitchen with "abundance of storage space, under cabinet lighting and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances"? (Yeah, every bohemian I ever knew had s secret desire to throw down with Julia Child.) The "solarium"? (Bohemians need that Vitamin D.) The "private elevator access?" (Can't climb stairs in those skin-tight black jeans and sunglasses.) Or the "Bosch washer/dryer, integrated Sonos speaker system, and energy efficient HVAC system operated by Nest"? Or did someone just open the "Realtor Listing Gobbledygook Handbook," close their eyes, and point, since all of these listings read as totally interchangeable?
Oh wait, could it be because the building that houses this boho palace is somewhere in the vicinity of - graffiti? Yep, that must be it. Edgy!
This is for rental to a "guest." Nobody is supposed to feel at home there.
FOR RENT TO TRANSIENTS ONLY
Are you talking about Trump?
I too have never met a real-estate sales person and got the impression of a high wattage bulb yet a real-estate salesman is now the US President.
Real estate agents that push prices higher in owners/landlord ears to get listings, and use this vitriol are bad.
Real estate agents that sell with soul, provide a service (helping with attorneys, bank mortgages, co-op applications etc.) helping out their buyers and sellers and landlords are good.
They are not all bad people. I was one. nothing makes me wish I could get back into the game and undercut the entire industry (6% for sales 15% for rentals is outrageous). But the competition, the splits, the tax man, and the very jading environment of hyper luxury development ousting the middle class all makes it a steaming pile of #$%^. But please remember not all apples in a bushel are the same.
Needs more Photoshop. I mean, the photos look quite glassy and artificial as they are, but I think they could do better. By better I mean worse of course.
I have no idea who this flowery marketing prose is aimed at as a audience. But really do you think people who can afford 14,000 a month for a rental read this nonsense? People with that type of money are more than likely branding their own market. So a quote from a old drunk I once knew "Don't shit a shiter"
The rich suits from the upper east side want to come downtown and be "bohemian" -- but in an elitist fashion. Just because you can gentrify your way in with your money does not mean you belong here, suits. And this includes the new money-chasing tech people too.
"Bohemian twist"? Isn't that an EV chokehold? Just saying.

Agree with what you have said, most people posting here are talking about the carpet bagger kind of real-estate sales person not those doing an honest job.
All of that south facing glass is a huge waste of electricity. How much heat will that generate in the summer? How much will it cost in dollars and earth resources to keep the place cool? Disgusting!!!
I can afford the price of ConEd to air condition my whole apartment in the summer. But choose to only moderately cool the bedroom to be nicer to Mother Earth.
The hooker who lives in the doorway whipped out her bohemian twist the other night. The crack whores weren't impressed. Tough crowd.
