Are you a “budgeted student, who have (sic) a primary residence?” A “full time work (sic) who rarely stays at home (Male renters only)?” How about a masochistic hermit who enjoys low light and beds that looks like prison cells? This Final District rental is perfect for you. As spotted by Curbed, the room-cum-dungeon of existential despair features high-speed […]
