Is this for real?

So I've begun perusing ads for apartments on Craigslist because I am....drumroll please....considering....making the move back into Manhattan. I'm thinking upper westside or maybe lower eastside. This would be a move in a few months. I'm just starting to look around and see if it is even possible within my price range.

Anywho. I just read this post and had to do a double-take. Is this for REAL? Give me a break. Eww! See below.

Furnished bedroom available in spacious 2 1/2 bedroom apartment. Doorman, high floor, city and sunset views, sunny, etc. Washer, dryer and dishwasher in the apartment. The apartment has good heat, is quiet for sleeping, has good air-conditioning, high speed internet and a spare computer for the roommate's use. It's an elevator building and there is a health club in the building. The room is about 200 sq. ft., has a double bed, dresser, desk, walk in closet and a window with a nice view. I'm looking for a female roommate who will occasionally not wear clothes when I ask in exchange for free rent. No sex whatsoever required. Otherwise the rent is $775/month, everything included.

I am also on the prowl for a new living sitch and actually saw this ad as well. It was tempting...

Soooooo disgusting. I hope it is a joke! Probably not, knowing NYC.
