We spent our first month in New York in a sublet. It was in Brooklyn, which is just a quick trip over some water from "the city". It was in the Park Slope neighborhood which is pricey and we soon found out why this one was under $1000 for the month. It was an "attic loft", meaning some cheap landlord (this one was a hasidic) decided to add an iffy staircase up to the attic and call that an apartment. The ceilings sloped down and we could barely stand in most of it, but at least the guy had low to the ground furniture. He had a stool in the bathtub for a sit-down shower. It really wasn't bad--we were close to a train, the park, good eating, our storage unit.
Here are some pictures taken from our window/skylight. Good views, but glad to be walking upright again. The other picture is of the scary stairs.

Walking upright is not overrated.
