NYC Apartment Tour!! 300 sq. foot Minimalist Studio 

My New York City apartment tour! Leave a thumbs up if you dig minimal living and let me know what you think ✌🏼

I love how this young man makes sure he gives the credit to his mom...and he cooks, adorable, well done mom!

The space actually looks more spacious than it is and it was made incredibly functional. I pay $1,027 a month for a one bedroom in Orlando FL. It’s 776 square feet. This makes me totally appreciate the space that I have.

I enjoyed your apartment tour but loved your positivity even more. This world needs people like you.

When a guy gives credit to his mom like that.. that says a lot for him.

You’re so “real” Erik, I expected to see some snooty dude showing off his apartment, instead you’re just an everyday guy who makes the small space work intelligently. Bravo and good luck in all you do!

Erik, You have a talent for making a tour of a relatively small one room apartment seem like a tour of an elaborate mansion.

Jesus, I live in southern Illinois and I just got a 1,000 sq. foot luxury apartment for $1,000 a month. Crazy how location determines price that much.

If I had an apartment in NYC it would look like this

Wearing shoes and bicycle inside the room 😨 I'm having a culture shock

Love that he named his plants! The size of the furniture matches the space, so the apartment looks as though it has more room than it does.

Apartment hunting in NYC is no joke. I’m in the process now and it’s so hard to choose! P.S. you mom did great decorating 💖👍

I had a great time helping you decorate your apartment! Lovely space and light....the last piece is going to be freakin awesome!! Love you, mom

Great use of space and tastefully decorated! Compared to my apartment in the suburbs, yours is 1/3 the size and 3x the price 😩. That view probably makes it worth it though!

2500 a month for 300 sq feet?!? That's insane. My college dorm room was bigger than that

My son is about to get married. He’s looking for an apartment and is kind of frustrated. “How can we live in a small space?” I’m like your mom, sending him pictures & videos of small space ideas. So far YOURS IS THE BEST! Thank you for inspiring people!

I get it you're paying for location and view.. 😑 but for $2200 a month you can get a 2-3 BR apt in queens, Bronx, and even Brooklyn ..

Dang, $2250 a month for a 300sqft apartment. New York is a joke lol. Not really, people get used to it but still...

I thought he slept on the couch at first

Your place is more a home than most of these mansions you show......never forget you make a home , not the place Peace

Coming from poverty. I see the value in spending more for less. Because he’s upgrading into a higher quality experience. I now understand why someone would pay $2,500 for a studio. The place he lives is beautiful! He is not only paying for space. He like a lot of other people choose quality of life over cheap rent and space. What’s with our obsession with space anyway. Less is more...

Love the couch 🛋

2250/month and you have to have a murphy bed in your living room. Thats insane

Going to school in Manhattan and apartment searching casually, I know it's hard to find a place like this. The large ceilings, decent bathroom and closet space, it's also not terribly outdated. Not to mention in Chelsea, wow. I mean more power to you, it's a nice space.

Exactly!!! ❤️ Less is more…so many ppl in the society especially nyc don’t know it…

I watch these tiny apartment for outrageous prices videos for pure entertainment... you actually have to lift your bed up and down every day and have no proper cooking space for $2,500 a month, love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Late to the party on this, but I REALLY love this space! Saving this for reference. Hope you’re still living your passion, Erik!

I love a cozy kitchen. You can reach everything without having to walk.

Who's hear after the new 2,000 sq ft upgrade. Dude quintupled the size of his home 😅

Your apt is minimalist but cozy. It looks comfortable and spacious because of your noncluttered look. Mom did a good job. Thank you for sharing.

"biking is just the perfect way to go" welcome to the Netherlands man, more bikes then people and more bikeroads then normal roads

Minimal apt for maximum price but location is everything. Gotta Love a man who cooks 😋😊👏👌

somehow looks better than most million dollar homes on this channel

Here I am complaining about rent in LA... wow...

I love what he’s done with the space💕 This is realistic in New York and I love that he’s not being pretentious. Charming and handsome just like him 💕🥰

Kudos to mom! I'm a designer and the way you two decorated is perfect for a smaller space. I tell my clients: Double duty pieces and build up and you will never feel like the space is small. New Subbie!

I love Mike! Of all your buddies...he's the best! (And I could be his grandmother....) plus...your studio is perfect. Thank you for the tour.

rent payment = $2,250 - Did I understand this correctly?

Erik this apartment screams good vibes! Love it and love the casual bits you threw into this video! X

I absolutely LOVE your Minimalistic style. Very classy, cozy and rustic. Love all of the wooden accents and the neutral colors. The view is AMAZING! Aside from that breathtaking view, the Murphy Bed is the star of the show! My jaw literally dropped when you pulled it out. I'm sure my neighbors heard me yelling, "Woooahhh!"😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I like that it's not gaudy or obnoxious. It's warm and simple.

I love the details in the apartment. Shout-out to Erik's mom!

I flipping love this apartment! Loving the vintage vibe it gives, the plants are amazing as well! Kind of reminds me of my studio/workroom and oh how I should record a tour as well. Thanks for reminding me, haha!

In a place like that, I think it would be cool to buy a night starry night projector and it lights up your room witj a bunch of dots resembling as stars. 🙂 It doesn't cost very much, but it'll be a cool thing to have. I've got one, but I don't live on my own yet, and the first place I'd probably get would look similar to this apartment, but I'm thinking of moving to South Florida of course because it's tropical and paradise.

I get it the view is cool but it doesn't make sense, If you travel a lot why spend so much on an apartment that you're rarely in? I would get something cheaper so I can travel more. It's a hip, stylish and cool apartment though.

It's beautiful. You work so hard, and it's awesome to see it paying off!

That bed is a game changer bro 🙏

Awww wish my mom would decorate my apt haha. It looks AMAZINGGGGGG!

Love your apartment! Great location and view! Cooking your own meals makes up for the higher rent. I could totally live there. Shoutout to your mom for helping you with decor! Minimalist but not sterile. Just the right amount of homey touches that express your personality and your excellent taste. Your steampunk bike hanger-upper and Murphy bed are genius. I love to see young people livin their dream! Best wishes to you!

That’s right young man. Give thanks to your mother and all she’s done for you. Your appointment is sooooo nice. Wishing you the best. Your mom has done a fine job raising you. Kudos to her 👏🏾

I love your intro Erik and how you already put folks in their place “I chose to live in a tiny apartment” 😂👍🏾

Thanks for sharing your space. I love the murphy bed and rooftop- they make 300 sqft feel a lot larger!

That is gorgeous and cosy and beautifully masculin!!

I just accepted my dream starter job and am planning on saving up some money after being unemployed for the past 3 months and then moving into downtown St. Louis, MO. I am planning on saving about 5-6 months in order to get me in a place to where I can move in without going into debt and have a good amount of savings. A tiny studio in a downtown high rise is one of the options I'm giving myself, and I am rewatching this and Cody Jensen's studio tours to inspire me on how to furnish a possible tiny studio to make it cozy and a place I am proud to come home to. I'm ready to continue the minimalist life.

Great apartment, I still can’t get over the price though. I have. 1 bed 1 bath 775 square foot apartment with a backyard and I pay $1200 per month. $2500 for such a small place is insane.

I don't think I've ever commented (even though I've never missed any video of yours), but I don't know what was about this video that is so full of energy... it's just a beautiful video to watch! Left me with a smile at the end!

It is official, I am glad I subscribed to him

Love the apartment Erik, and the awe sound effect when talking about your mom was so funny.

These were the good old days. He was so much more relatable here.

I LOVE YOU APARTMENT!!! So cozy and in a great hood...I lived on 24th and 7th (for free...that's another story for another day) back in 2009.

Tall ceilings + that view 👌

3:38-the smoke is flowing in instead of out... 😯

Gotta love a man who gives a shout out to his Mom, plus you are left handed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. By the way cool apt. Super view. 🤗🇨🇦

Honestly Been Getting More Comfortable With Studios Mainly Because Where I'm At Financially. This Video Made Me Feel So Much Better

Probably my favorite appartment tour so far! Light, fresh but cozy (love the vintage stuff!) and best of all: straight to the point!

This apartment is decorated so cute!

Wow, you really made the most out of the space! It looks so nice and cozy :) the bed is such a cool idea. But damn, $2.500, that´s why I could never live in New York :D

I’m glad someone like Tom Misch too ❤️

That's crazy! 2000 a month for a studio. Here in Kentucky you can rent a 3 bedroom house for as low as 500-600 a month. And in downtown Lousiville (fairly sizable city) I was renting a large studio apartment for 500 a month, and this place was huge. Its hard to believe people pay so much for so little

Can’t wait to do a tour of our new apartment, coming soon!

Ok, I was really skeptical... but that tiny apt is worth every penny - that view, the rooftop, clean layout, nice accents.

I absolutely LOVE your place. So cute and cozy. Well decorated too!

Erik the upgrades from the tiny pigeon apartment and working at the hotel to traveling the world and this beautiful apartment. Love from Canada and upload more on snapchat man

Previously, I watched the video about the $28.500.000,00-dollar apartment, and I wish I was rich enough to own it, but now, seeing yours, I'm so envy! Super cozy and well-decorated. And easy to keep clean! I loved it!

love the apartment, you are right. its not small. its cozy! and the bed??? my jaw dropped coz i was expecting you sleep on the sofa!

I wish i could live in NYC but I’d be so homesick because I’m from Australia 🇦🇺

I LOVE YOUR APARTMENT! ITS PERFECT! Also random but its important for me to share, I love that you post on Sundays because it gets me motivated and inspired to have a good week with work etc. It sets me in a mood that "hey one day i am going to move to NYC and live my dream but I got to start where I am now and work hard to make my way to accomplish my dream..." Will always support you Erik, thank you for the inspiration!

Great video straight and to the point. Location, price, amenities, pros and cons all covered in under 10 mins with great edits!

OH MY GOD! You are literally what I strive to be. Your apartment is hands down the best on I've every seen. It's so small yet you are so positive. As soon as I graduate I'm going to aspire to have your attitude. Btw this is the first video I've seen of yours and I love it.

Your apartment has a great positive feel about it.. it's awesome.. i LOVE small cosy living.. everything about it is right.. if you work hard and can afford it why not spend that!!.. it's your life and your money.. thank you for sharing.. very inspirational ❤❤❤

As small, excuse me, cozy apartments go, this one's pretty great.

Your apartment is so amazing!! I really like the aesthetics and the bed is amazing???

new york is expensive because it has ALOT of opportunity, you dont have to go far for it either, and the supply and demand

Delusions of grandeur - he could live so much more effectively in a more affordable area of the city. Why young people need everything in life to be fast tracked I’ll never know.... on another note, seems like a nice together guy. Really enjoyed this video.

Wow I can't believe that's 300sq ! It looks spacious! The high ceilings really open up the space! That's how its done!

dude, first 5 seconds into your channel and wow. That intro blew me away. excellent filming and editing. just brilliant stuff!

$2500 a month!? You can get a 4 BR “Luxury” apartment here in Philly with that type of money

Great apartment. I'm sure Your neighbours pay regular visits to your house in winters. Because a room with you in it must be pretty hot.

My plant's name is Sabastian, but I worry because where I live not much sun light sunlight during the winter, and we get a lot of over cast days too. If you guessed Central Ohio, you are right. I live in a studio too, but I have a circle wall that sort of separates the bed room area from the living area. No couch though, I have two chairs, and a bookshelf.

I moved from nyc city view to Oregon view. Instead of endless buildings now I see endless pines. When I am tired of nature I go to NYC, which is kick ass city comparing to Portland, OR

The mom shoutout 👌🏻👌🏻

Some girls: That closet is SUPER tiny! Him: This closet is SUPER super large.

Happy for you Erik! Your apartment looks fabulous! -You have wonderful taste. Have a fabulous New Year!

Nice to see someone who is so enthusiastic about life.Greetings from across the pond.

No place has ever felt as cozy or homely than my first ever studio in London.

You're apt is super cute! Thanks mom!! I'm moving in!2😉

6:27 Damn didn't know cars run backwards in NY

5 years ago after college I had to make the choice to pursue my career in finance in NYC or Miami. After a lot of deliberation I went with Miami. I've been able to buy multiple properties since then and generate cash flow / build equity. I sometimes wonder what would have been in NYC but hearing about rents up there makes me feel great about my decision. The opportunities are undoubtedly greater, but at what cost?

Revisiting this gem because I reckon this little nook is divineee

Hello erik your fridge is bigger than the kitchen, i love the apartment it’s not small at all. You can hang a mirror on the wall maybe next to your tiny dining table (great feng shui) ☺️😇
