In New York City, "1 bath" means a bathtub in your apartment's entryway and a toilet in a closet

I checked out the reddit thread and learned that old tenement buildings didn’t have hot water so the bath was near the stove to heat the water. I could live in something that small if I were single but not for that price or that neighborhood. I did check out streetview and it looks like a really nice place to live it’s just not my cup of tea.

My kid and husband live in a hip and trendy downtown area and love it. It’s nice when we visit to be walking distance from everything. Their apartment is small and expensive but they love it.
