Apartment listings

I've been reading through all kinds of apartment listings as of late. Many are dull or in some cases questionable. I know a listing for "Room for Rant" caught my eye and I considered emailing the individual with the proper English corrections. But then I stopped because I refuse to turn into that kind of person. The type who is offended by poor grammar and feels the need to preserve the language. No, I refuse to become a William Safire. So "Room for Rant" is fine. Besides, the "rant" part gives the listing a certain amount of flair, don't you think?

One of the more interesting listings I've found is shown below.

Who I'm looking for:

Sweet, down-to-earth, cultured people who are kind and considerate, would appreciate the artistic, family vibe of our building, and be able to return all the good Karma that's floating around the place. Seeing as two out of three of us are musicians, making noise is not a problem. The building is couple-friendly, foreigner-friendly, pet-friendly and queer-friendly. Basically just friendly period.

After I read this I wanted to scream, "That's me!" But then I stopped myself because the room is going for $1000 a week. Apparently living a Bohemian lifestyle does not come cheap these days. Not in Manhattan, at least.

My second favorite listing I came across was written in the form of a poem. The poem was organized into exact stanzas and made use of clever rhyme. Except, there wasn't a great deal of information concerning the actual apartment. I mean, it was clear the apartment was in Chelsea and the landlord had a knack for poetry but that was about it. I passed up the offer but made a mental note that poetry might be useful for apartment listings, if done right. Here is how I would list my current apartment:

You, in your own room, imagine it
We have cable TV and wireless Internet
At 955 total square feet you can't go wrong
And the rent is cheap, so there is no need to frown

I wonder if a haiku would be more effective?
