Ross' Third Apartment
Ugly Naked Guy's old flat across the street from Monica, Ross's home from season 5 to the end.
Ross Geller lives in three apartments over the course of Friends. The third and best known is the two-bedroom apartment directly across the street from Monica's, occupied for four and a half seasons by Ugly Naked Guy; Ross gets it in "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" by stripping off to bond with the departing nudist over mini muffins, and lives there for the rest of the series.

Background
His first apartment, where he lived with Carol until she left and where Joey and Chandler assemble his new furniture in the pilot, lasted from "The Pilot" to "The One With The Yeti" in season 5; it is where he slept with Chloe and where he proposed to Emily. After marrying Emily he moved into a flat rented from her cousin, never seen on screen, and was thrown out when they divorced, staying with Chandler and Joey until the Ugly Naked Guy vacancy.
Things start badly in the new place: from its window he spots Monica and Chandler together, and his rage in front of his boss costs him his museum job back. Rachel lives there while pregnant with Emma and after the birth, until a fight sends her back to Joey's, and moves back in when they reunite in the finale; the bedroom is seen only in "The Last One". The building has no lift, which defeats the sofa in "The One With The Cop"; the flat is numbered 201 when Ugly Naked Guy answers the door and later 3B.
