Ginsberg’s EV apartment rents in five hours

Allen Ginsberg and his (renovated) apartment at 437 East 12th Street

After just a short turn on the market, the East Village apartment that poet Allen Ginsberg once lived in has been snapped up, according to the Observer. The one-bedroom, walk-up apartment at 437 East 12th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue came online last week with an asking rent of $1,700 a month. The apartment was a hot ticket, according to listing agent Daniel Kramp of City Connections Realty. “It was on the market for maybe, like, five hours,” Kramp said. [NYO]
