      Prices are absolutely insane. But renting isn't cheap in Finland either(in bigger cities) so I can't really comment on that, but obviously a manhattan flat with nothing in it costing about 3000 a month is insane.

    You'd have to earn at least $200k/yr., $4000/wk. or more than $75/hr. or to live comfortably in Manhattan. Maybe more. I don't know how much food, taxes, power, Wi-Fi and other entertainment might cost so I think that $2000k would be the minimum. Correct me if I am wrong. This seems like a good guess.

Safe building, doorman and so on but you’d never go hungry with all the restaurants and food trucks that is if you have enough money left after paying five grand a month plus utilities along with transportation costs as well then you can hit those restaurants. It’s like you know you made it to uptown NY man! (Or close enough to it)…

    I can understand bars for safety outside the windows - but several of the bar assemblies are ugly with an overlapping center section that unnecessarily mars the view. I realize that this is an older building, and I know some people like the visual appeal of a fireplace - but if I was remodeling that building I would delete the fireplaces to add a sizable amount of floor space and open up the main room.

    I was just looking at the tiniest apartments in Japan, so this doesn't look that small. Nice compact apartments. But.. 4900 dollars a month?!! Many Americans don't even make that much per month. Sure, you have all these restaurants and stores right next door, but if you're spending 4900 on rent, how much money do you have left for anything else? I guess you'd have to eat at McDonald's and Taco Bell, because you couldn't afford a fancier place.

    Strange, I expected to see a "tiny-box" apartment - means a small one and was first confused, until I read what it meant to be. 😊 If money isn't no problems for you, you can effort this. Greetings from Belgium. Gine🙋 ❤️🙏
