listing written in the style of Shakespeare:"In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,There stands a palace fair and bright,A spacious dwelling for travelers keen,To rest their heads and sleep through the night.Our luxurious bed doth beckon thee,With soft, plump pillows and silken sheets,To dream of fairies, mermaids, and the sea,Or simply slumber with no cares or feats.But lo, our palace is not just for sleep,For in its walls there are many delights,A kitchen stocked with all that thou mayst keep,And a common room to while away the nights.So come, dear traveler, and stay with us,In this fair palace where joy doth reign,And thou shalt leave with memories aplenty,Of thy time spent in fair Verona's domain."

Part of the charm of those old apartments is how spacious they can be.

One option would be to rent it by the room to three young professionals (or even a couple)...if you rented it by the room to three people, you'd probably be able to get more than what you have it listed for...if you rented it to a young couple, you could probably still get 1600ish (market the extra bedrooms as an office for each of them).Another option would be to re-configure the functionality of the house--turn it into a 2 bedroom 2 bath...if you did that, now instead of a cramped 3/2, you have a spacious 2/2 that would be great for a single parent with one kid, a young couple, or two housemates (each of whom would get their own bathroom, which is a huge selling point if you're renting to housemates)....the downside of this is the extra work, and also the fact that it could reduce the value of the property if you decide to sell...  

Also, lighter paint would make the place look more spacious.
