It's a charming home, and a very honest video. I dislike those homes that look pristine with everything in its place. They look so fake, while yours is extremely authentic. Thanks for sharing your home with us,
Hi Jess! Have just recently started watching your videos! Hello from my 1 bedroom in Amsterdam. So glad to find so many similarities, including the weather and the steep rent...😅, but also really like the aesthetics of your place! 💜 Glad to follow you on this journey ! 😊
Ahh I am obsessed with Amsterdam it’s one place I would love to live for a year or two it’s the most beautiful city, I quite often visit for a weekend and to see my friend who loves there. I have heard about the weather and rent, its so tough to save when often people are paying half their monthly income on renting! Thank you for the lovely comment and for watching I’m so glad you are enjoying ❤️
Such a beautiful apartment!!! Great size compared to a lot of the NYC ones I see on you tube and the garden is a beautiful bonus ♥️ makes it feel like you're not in an apartment. A big hi from Australia 🤗 x
Thank you we really love living here, it’s the first rented apartment I’ve felt is like a real home. I think it’s the high ceilings and entryway/hallway that give a feeling of more space. We feel lucky to live here! Thanks for leaving a lovely comment and Hi all the way to Auz ☺️xx
Beautiful Home ! And thank you for the realistic vibe ! Itz the BEST ! Cheers from across the pond in Buffalo, New York. 1st timeviewer / new subscriber here ! My dear late Mom was born & raised in London ! I fancy living there someday ! xo Liz
Thanks so much that means a lot Liz, so glad you’re enjoying my videos! Ahh New York I’ve never been to Buffalo would love to explore more of the US at some point ❤️ aw I love that your mum was from here and you have that connection to London. Xx
Happy Weekend Jess! What a lovely way to catch up with your video and sipping on some coffee as the sun greets me outta my window. Thanks for a no BS real house tour video, I would love to see some renting content on it! and also a request to show how you do your loose wavy hair!! I love them🥰
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video it’s tricky to know what people like to watch these days so really helpful that you mention the renting stuff, ill definitely try and make some videos on that as I LOVE interiors but can be so difficult whilst renting! And will of course show you how I get the waves in my hair as my hair is poker straight naturally 😅 xxx
Aw I would love to, unfortunately we can put anything with nails in the walls! And I was a little scared to use common strips above the bed where it might fall on us 😅
Thank you! As someone who also rents a 1 bedroom, I love seeing how people style in a realistic way. I might try a candle window ledge like you have.. :) Could you link the gingham pillowcases? Sending good vibes from richmond, va!
Ahh me too, love to see inside people's homes so glad you enjoyed the video. Richmond is gorgeous would love to live around there! Link to pillowcases : www.etsy.com/uk/listing/227651871/king-queen-or-square-linen-pillowcase?ref=yr_purchases
I lived in west London & was paying £2,000 for a very small two bed flat, 2nd bedroom was seriously small, Is that all your garden it looked beautiful that must be gorgeous in the summer 🌞
I can imagine to be honest! West London is gorgeous but yeah everything is so expensive and competitive just even to get a viewing in time, the garden is shared but its a really quiet block so we don't really see any neighbours! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment xx
Thank you so much we feel really lucky to live here! London has so many amazing little neighbourhoods but I would say some of my favourite are North : Islington/ Angel South : Balham and peckham and potentially Clapham (North)East : Hackney and Dalston
1st time viewer & new subscriber here ! Hello from across the pond in Buffalo, New York - near Niagara Falls, & one of the lucky sites of the recent Total Eclipse of the Sun ! My dear late Mom was born & raised in London. ( WW2 Gen !) . Lovely to see your gorgeous Home here; & I personally prefer a realistic, so - called “rambling” style of video like this ! Not rambling a ‘tall tho !! ( see my British vernacular for “at all”? 😍 ). Just nice & friendly & conversational. Perfect ! Cheerio ! ( haha ! Old school). Liz PS … I’m also a fan of 30 - something NYC vlogger here on yt : Chelsea Callahan. Also super realistic ! Ditto Toronto Canada’s Christina Michas : maybe you 3 could do a collab ! xo
Such a lovely comment thank you! Ahh the solar eclipse I feel like that was such a crazy thing to have happened! So interesting to read about and watch videos of! Aww I love that you have a connection to London ❤️thanks for the recommendations I’ll give them a go! Xx
Thank you, we love it here! It’s shared with other flats but us and the neighbour beside us are the only ones with direct access so we hardly see anyone!
I agree, London is a very expensive city, we also live in a really nice part which backs right onto the park, has access to the tube and lots of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby so we are very lucky!
4:16 13.5*c? Bit chilly! I thought I was frugal keeping my thermostat to 15degrees and wearing jumpers/using blankets around the house. Our boiler man told us not to let the indoor temp drop below 15* generally as if it’s prolonged, that’s when you start to see structural issues like pipes getting damaged and damp and mould etc. but I digress! Cost of living makes it harder and harder to keep the heating on for lots of people. My rent is 1.7k for a 3 bed house in similar area but we’ve been here since 2007 with a fantastic landlord who treats us like family, and behaves more like a grandad to our two boys, hence I can afford to have my heating a little higher. He’s never put the rent up in all that time. When we moved in, with just our eldest as a baby, he told us ‘if you look after the house, we’ll look after you’ and he’s been true to his word. All of which I’m immensely great full for.
Yes! Our house is very old and has a few issues with damp we do keep the heating on most of the time to be honest but it’s just such a summer sort of flat when we can have the patio doors open and let the air in! Wow that’s a really good deal for a 3 bed and I bet having a great landlord like that gives such a sense of ease around it all! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend ❤️
@@jessicamoonharris this is why I let both my children stay home, save large deposits, get their salaries to good positions and then buy their homes. Always the best option if able to. If done right without the mad rush, young people will still have the larger % of their salaries after paying the mortgage and bills..
East is a little more expensive now I think for a flat of similar spec maybe £1.5k, - £2k. There are much cheaper places to rent too but it would likely be a compromise between location and quality BUT its a really cool part of London, a bit more edgy and has lots of cool bars!
Bleach down back and front of ur windows kill bacteria on them windows need replacement you need to contact your local council to let ur landlord know check what band council tax ur on also. Love ur plant
Sorry but if I was renting and spending £2,000 a month. I would feel like it was money down the drain that could go towards a property. Also it doesn't belong to you so you can't decorate it or change anything.
So true, I do agree it’s a lot of money, it’s split between 2 of us and unfortunately it’s the only way we can currently afford to live in this city that’s helping us get on a bit in our careers and live close enough to work and friends to do that! Our rent is very reasonable for the city to be honest we have a great location and nice flat considering the price, London is a really expensive place to live! Thanks for your comment interesting to hear different perspectives! Xx o
You can decorate it, even change it, if you get the owner’s approval. Most of then are happy if you do it without them paying. If you move, you take the furniture with you. I rent and I bought a lot of furniture like mirrors, nightstands and other things.
Voguegirl I agree 100%. I read an article recently that said a large percentage of renters will never own their own home. This will be a reality for most. It won't be a good experience in later life.
@@adryana90renting is the only option for many...however, it will ALWAYS be far, far better to buy a property. Renting is paying someone elses mortgage... if you live in it for 5 years.. you just pick up your things and leave with nothing😢... my colleague rented for 11 years... and her landlord decided to sell, she had 2 months to leave. And left with just her belongings - despite paying weekly rent for all those years😢😢😢
You really don’t have to point out every little thing, books, shampoo, perfume, It’s silly. . Ppl just want to see the apartment itself and how you decorate
Are you for real joking?!! This is NOT a flat tour but more of a bed tour!! Who in their right mind shows their bed, cushions and plants for an eternity instead of the actual freaking flat and its layout?!!!!! THIS IS THE WORST FLAT TOUR VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!
Oh my wow… you know you didn’t have to watch the whole thing right? You have options here 😂😂😂 Lovely video! I love getting a peek into people’s homes. The flat is gorgeous and you seem very happy there 😊
@@Daniela-ku5lo I didn’t watch the whole thing! I was fast forwarding it, hoping you would actually start showing your flat but you didn’t so I stopped watching!!!
@@jessicamoonharrismy niece is renting an apartment for €1,900 in Dublin. She has no garden and the largest bedroom is basically a converted attic with no door! Your apartment is gorgeous in comparison.
