"Charming? More like dated and in need of serious repairs. The unique layout means you'll have to deal with an awkward floor plan. Also, it’s not as quiet as advertised—expect noise from the street and neighboring units."

"Convertible just means you might be able to squeeze in a second bed if you're okay with a cramped living area. The so-called luxury amenities are basic at best, and the private outdoor space is a tiny, unkempt balcony."

"Cozy actually means the place is quite small and barely fits the essentials. The doorman and elevator are nice touches, but the quiet area is just a view of a brick wall and an air shaft."
