People will need very long shower curtains given the height of the rail. It looks like some put Tidy Bowl in the bathtub.
Funny, this is the first bathroom photo I’ve ever seen here with the tub ‘full’..otherwise, I sorta like this.
When is someone going to cry gentrification.
No real residents of Harlem can Afford This Place Uugghh

130% AMI is unaffordable.
