This is a 550 square foot studio in the Financial District of Manhattan.

How much would this cost to buy? In Manhattan I would think a lot more than $500k.

Looks pretty sweet(although it may be the camera angles) except for the fact that the bathroom has no walls.

I'm trying to piece together how that whole apartment looks but I can't figure it out. The pictures are deceiving.

keep in mind that the financial district is not one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods

avg price per square foot is right around 1k last time I looked, the apt shown is 550 sq ft and that is almost certainly overstated. also that particular apt doesn't look like a particularly good deal for 500k, you can do much better.
