Though technically a studio, this rental condo boasts a unique layout full of character and charm. A gorgeous foyer with a metal banister leads to the sunken living and sleeping area, where there’s more than enough room for living furniture, a small dining setup, and a bedroom set. Through an arched doorway is the kitchen, which also has a peek-through to the living area. Located on the Upper West Side, our number one dog-friendly neighborhood, the well-maintained condo building offers laundry, bike storage, a live-in super, and common outdoor space.
