APARTMENT SEVEN $2200/3 bed

This is the best apartment that I've visited by far, and the only one I saw tonight really within our price range. The rent is $2200 a month, and it's three bedrooms, but the rooms vary in size from Large (master bed with 1/2 bath and own ac unit), Medium (can still fit queen bed), to Small (full bed), so the rent will probably need to be graduated accordingly. However, even the small room is still pretty standard size for NYC, and the advantage of it is that it is located on the opposite side of the apartment as the other two rooms and has a view of the park. So, without further ado, here is the apartment:

Pros
- Location: this baby is located just a few blocks from the N/Q and is right in the middle of Ditmars, which is a pretty amazing place to live. (Think young people, gyms, 24 hour grocery, cafes, etc), and it is also right across from a park. The neighborhood is extremely safe and convenient.
- Price: This is probably the cheapest thing that I've seen so far, especially for how incredibly large this apartment is. I would almost bet that it's 1000 square feet.
- Multiple bathrooms: While it's only 1 and 1/2, let's be real, having an extra toilet in the apartment is always a positive thing, even though it's in one of the bedroom (hopefully we'll all love each other enough not to care)
- HUGE living room/dining room/kitchen: Since all of us are pretty social, I think it's important that we have a decent sized entertaining space, and this place offers it.
- The living room and the master bed have AC units in them already, which is 2 less that have to be bought. Also, all of the bedrooms have ceiling fans, which is awesome!
- All utilities included except electricity/cable, which is total within our control, which is nice.
- Pet friendly and parking!

Cons
- Stairs: This apartment is a 3rd story walkup, but, honestly, I didn't even notice. The stairs are pretty short, and it's definitely not the most glamorous hallway area, but the inside of the apt definitely makes up for it.
- 3rd Roommate: If Chelsey isn't going to be able to make the commute (I hope she can!) we will have to find someone else, though, at this price/location, I really don't think that will take more than a day.

Now, I know I didn't have a lot of negative things to say, but, this is definitely the best thing in our price range that I've seen so far. Definitely don't let my enthusiasm sway you, if this isn't the place for us, then it just isn't, and we'll keep looking, because we do have a little bit of time. Iman (the agent) explained to me that with rentals, a landlord can list it with an infinite amount of realty companies, and that's why they go so quickly in Astoria, b/c each company is showing 2/3 people the apartment a day. Essentially, this place will probably be signed for by Wednesday, so definitely look at the pictures, decide what you think, and if it's not our place, then definitely keep Iman in mind, because she was 1. on time 2. showed me lots of apartments (4!), 3. was very professional

I'm going to email you her phone number so that you can contact her with a decision or to set up more appointments at your convenience. There was a 2 bed for $1600 that she really wanted to show us, but the guy wasn't available today and I'm swamped tomorrow, so maybe you can talk to her about seeing it later in the week...idk. Anyways, hope this helped!
