By choosing a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 feet, Felice Cohen can afford to live in Manhattan's Upper West Side where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month.
She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot micro-studio. After a bit of adjustment, she now loves living smaller, simpler, and cozier.

Some people work a lot and being a few minutes from work is more than worth it. People like to say taking a train to Manhattan from Queens or Brooklyn is 20 mins. It is not... I live 7 miles from lower Manhattan in Brooklyn and sometimes it takes me over 1.5 hours to get to work via train. By car it's no better either if there's traffic and you get stuck for an hour. If it takes me 1-1.5 hours to go each way for work that's almost 3 hours out of the day spent on commuting.

You’ve done quite well in organizing your apartment. I live in 40 square feet an am also very comfortable. It just takes a little adjustment and planning. The only thing I don’t have is a bath. An athletic club close by fits that need.

I really admire you for having decided what’s the most important thing in your life and accepting the rest of what goes with it! I’m impressed that a bathroom could be installed in that space and also makes living small, bearable and even comefortable, the window is important also. I think you’ve done really well with the space and especially the bed, but I think we’d all like to know what the rent costs. Could you include that in the next video please? Thanks
