Here’s a great deal for $35 in New York, an elevated mattress home. Of course, if someone fell from there and hurt themselves bad, the landlord could be up for a nasty lawsuit.

So Mr. Freeman posted an ad on the Web site Craigslist: “$35 — elevated mattress-sized space between rooms.” He used a minimalist pitch. “Opening between hall and room available for long/short-term use, accessible by ladder, sheets and pillows not provided.” The ad went up around noon, and by the end of that day, Mr. Freeman had a dozen potential takers.
