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

I think I might be showing my class alliances, but a bathtub in the kitchen is actually pretty normal (as is the sinkless WC) in older buildings. There are objectively terrible kitchen bathtubs/shower setups, where the landlord couldn’t be assed and just crammed something inappropriate in to a space that was never meant to have big plumbing fixtures, but this just looks like a Manhattan apartment that nobody has had the chance to flip yet (and you know the flipped apartment will be on some 22 yr old’s influencer account a an inspirational marvel of tiny house living, built with the cheapest, flimsiest, least sustainable/most toxic materials possible).

The New York Times will absolutely paint them as pioneers them in the real estate section.
