1) A little poetry goes a long way: "Oh empty apartment, in a building filled with potted trees. All we ask from your new occupants, is a simple 1 year lease. Your sink and faucet, brand new stainless steel. The new flooring is slate, although it's not real." continued...- $1595 / 2br - ODE TO A VACANT APARTMENT [Craigslist]
