Nothing about it really appeals to me either.

It's just a little jewel box. I love it.  I love those NYC apartments.  You Tube has that section "Homeworthy" in which the video host visits apartment dwellers.  So many beautiful ones.  This one is fabulous.  Oh, to have had the money and the style in my 20s when I galloped off to live on my own and ended up returning and endorsing a simpler lifestyle (lack of money, of course).

I want the big orange fish with the little fish perched on top 😍

That kitchen mirror is interesting.  No on can sneak up on you while you are doing the dishes 😏

Unless doing the dishes is a time for reflection, I don't get the mirror behind the sink blocking the window either.  I also don't understand placements of two paintings in the kitchen - one over the cooktop where grease and other food can get on it, and one near the sink where water can get on it.  Tried to find the answers online to these curiosities, but didn't see any explanations.  

In the kitchen the purple glass on the table is beautiful and just the perfect touch there.  Also like the blue and white plaid chairs, and in the living room the blue velvet chairs.  In looking at some of his other projects, he has done other beautiful velvet furniture.

@Oznell  When you described the long hallway for the artwork, it reminded me of another condo thread ("New York Condo, Flatiron District") that had a hallway with artwork (framed photo of Frank SInatra) and a beautiful Art Deco globe-shaped light fixture on the ceiling that I had commented on.  So then I had to see if Robert Passal was the same designer for that, and he was.  Maybe it was in the same building as this condo.

Edited to say that I removed my comment about a nice dusty rose velvet chaise because I realized it was not from this project, it was from another one of Robert Passal's projects (the project that was discussed in the thread "New York Condo, Flatiron District", although I don't think it was pictured in that thread.  I saw a photo of it in a couple of other places including on his website in the porfolio section "Uptown Elegance, Downtown".  Sorry for the mistake and any confusion.).

I loved the desk in the bedroom.  And that was it.  Soooooooo much stuff in that apartment and so formal.

And the library was so dark I found it depressing.

That's right, @QVCisFun --  good catch about Robert Passal doing both apartments!   I was struck by how, even though the Flatiron one was different, a bit more "flow-y" and organic, there is a common thread to both of them....

On Homeworthy, the YouTube series, which is (for the most part) NYC apartment dwellers, 2-3 have mirrors in that location and I think it was a door there that was, at one time, used as a dumbwaiter, and it was unsightly, so it was covered over with a large mirror.

While I throughly enjoyed looking at all of the pics, it really isnt my taste for the most part, and most of the rooms seem overcrowded with too much stuff....However there are some things I did really like, like the kitchen...

So funny how tastes differ.  There is nothing that I like about this apartment at all.  I find it heavy, mostly dark and drab.  The best thing for me that I can find is the artwork above the dining banquette.   Other than that,  I'd gut the entire place and start all over!!!!!

I do appreciate how others would enjoy.   This is just not for me (as I've made pretty clear!!!!!)

@Oznell  Love the hallway leading into what could be another era. Also like the idea of using a desk as an end table. A thought for when we downsize and want to keep some family pieces. What makes me crazy is the kitchen! The colors are great, but it's so crowded, I would want to run away screaming! My small kitchen is crowded enough, but I just couldn't cook amidst that throng.
